Middle-earth is an incredibly diverse world, home to multiple races, cultures, and lifestyles. And while there are so many creatures that fans of Lord of the Rings could never stumble upon in real life, such as Ents and Orcs, humans, known as Men, are one of the races that inhabit Middle-earth. Men, like Elves, are Children of Ilúvitar, although they share some key differences such as their mortality. They were blessed with the gift of freedom and weren’t eternally bound to Arda, which means they age and eventually die when their time comes, unlike their Elven counterparts. Known for having an ambition for power, Men are divided in different groups and cultures, and they mostly settled in the Lands and Kingdoms of Men.
