Lore:
As other Northmen, the Beornings descended from Men of the First Age who were related to the Edain,[4] perhaps akin to the Third House.[5] As such, the Beornings were close kin of the Éothéod, the Woodmen of Mirkwood and the Bardings.[6][7]
After the Battle of Five Armies and the decimation of the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, many Northmen gathered around Beorn who became a great chief. It is possible that the Beornings became known as a people through being descendants of Beorn.[2][3]
The Beornings kept open the passages of the Ford of Carrock and the High Pass in return for tolls,[3] likely clearing the paths from Dale to Rivendell from evil creatures such as Orcs and Wargs.[8]
In the events leading up to the War of the Ring, the Beornings helped Aragorn, who was taking Gollum to Mirkwood, to cross the Anduin.[9]
During the War, Grimbeorn, son of Beorn, was the leader of the Beornings.[3] It is possible that Sauron’s forces had attacked them in early T.A. 3019: when Frodo Baggins wore the One Ring upon Amon Hen, he saw the land of the Beornings aflame.[10]
Through many generations, the descendants of Beorn were like him skin-changers, able to take the shape of a bear.[note 1] Some of Beorn’s descendants were grim like him and even “bad”, but none of them matched Beorn in size and strength.[2]
