Tengwangs

Tengwangs are a fictional ethnic group from J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, appearing primarily in The Silmarillion. They are described as a group of Men who inhabited the lands east of the River Anduin in the Third Age of Middle-earth. While not a prominent people in the narrative, their existence is mentioned in relation to the movements and interactions of other peoples.

The Tengwangs are generally considered to be related to the Easterlings, a broad term used by the West-dwellers for various groups of Men who lived to the east of Mordor and Rhovanion. Little specific detail is provided about their culture, language, or social structure. Their presence is noted in historical accounts, suggesting they were one of the many human populations that coexisted and sometimes clashed with the kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan, as well as other Easterling tribes.

Their name is thought to be derived from an ancient Mannish dialect. Like many of the peoples of the East, the Tengwangs were often associated with warlike tendencies and were sometimes drawn into conflicts with the West. However, their specific role in major historical events is not elaborated upon. They represent the diversity of human populations that inhabited Middle-earth beyond the familiar lands of the West.
