I know it's from 7yrs ago, but I just read your post: 49994669331/heresies-bor-the-easterlings (B/c, via a chain of thought involving kobolds, goblins, orcs, elves, holiday elves, Santa, Gandalf, & Tuor, I thought about Bór's folk, got sad, & went looking for nice things about them.) I just wanted to add that, IMO, if any of Bór's folk survived (& I choose to belive), they would be counted as a 5th house of Edain, technically making Ulfang's folk Middle Men.

I love my Bór (and if you haven’t read my stories for them I hope you do) and I will die on the hill that is Elros’s Wife, First Queen of Númenor, was Bortë of the Bór and that they were small but considered Edain -and that a very large part of Númenor’s founding population was Easterling either outright or via fathers and grandfathers -and that it was more politically savvy and safe to claim that they were Bór instead of descendants of Ulfang’s tribe/allied tribes. And that it is only when Númenor becomes the imperial power subjugating the men of Middle-earth that a white-washing of Bortë begins, and the vulture of the Bór is demonized alongside the fear of death/rejection of mortality, until it and her are erased from history.
