As for the Northmen, a few, it is said, fled over the Celduin (River Running) and were merged with the folk of Dale under Erebor (with whom they were akin), some took refuge in Gondor, and others were gathered by Marhwini son of Marhari ... Most of the Northmen were reduced to servitude, and all their former lands were occupied by the Wainriders.
