| The eastern parts of [[Middle-earth]] had two great mountain ranges, the [[Red Mountains|Red]] and [[Yellow Mountains]].

| Beyond that not much else is known about the lands or peoples outside the Westlands. [[Cuiviénen]], the lake where the [[Elves]] [[awakening of the Elves|awoke]]; and [[Hildórien]], the origin of [[Men]], were somewhere in the east of Middle-earth. But the stories follow only the [[Eldar]] and the [[Edain]] who migrated [[West]].

| The peoples of the East were known as [[Easterlings]], being various tribes of [[Men of Darkness]]. Such tribes were the [[Wainriders]], the [[Balchoth]] and the [[Variags]].

| In the [[Second Age|Second]] or [[Third Age]] the [[Blue Wizards]] went into the East, never to return. [[Saruman]] also visited the East before returning and occupying [[Isengard]]. During the [[Watchful Peace]], [[Sauron]] went to hiding in the East for 400 years and gathered the Easterlings to his service.
