History
Edit
The House of Marach was named after their first leader Marach or more commonly after his descendant Hador Lórindol, the House was the greatest of the Three Houses of the Edain, and most heroes of the First Age were members of it.
Malach Aradan, Hador Lórindol, Adanel, Húrin Thalion, Túrin Turambar, Huor and Tuor were all descended from this House, as were Eärendil the Mariner and his sons Elrond and Elros. Thus all the Kings and Queens of Numenor are descended from the House of Marach.
Under Marach they were a war-like tribe, united in speech and manners to the First House of the Edain, the House of Bëor, and they settled in Estolad not long after the Bëorians and the Second House, the Haladin had settled there.
They were the largest in number, and remained longest there, until they were given the land of Dor-lómin as a fief under Hador Lórindol. Afterwards the House was referred to as the House of Hador.
Most surviving Edain after the War of Wrath were members of this House, and as such they made up most of the people of Númenor.
Physical traitsEdit
The Men of the House of Hador typically had blonde hair and blue eyes, and were some of the tallest folk in Beleriand, save for the Noldor and many of the Sindar who were Elves.
