But this is the only place where the idea is mentioned.
Oh, except for one separate note, Christopher says, where his father wrote, the Edain, who at the end of the War of the Jewels sailed overseas to Numenor, contained few remnants of the folk of Halath.
And the very few Druidain that accompanied them died out long before the downfall.
So they left, but they also died out.
You wonder, like, is that the historian's perspective who doesn't know that they left and just assumed there are no more, therefore they died out?
Or did some of them genuinely die out and just not, you know, because as they were leaving, they couldn't reproduce the population.
I don't know.
It's interesting.
In their earlier days, they had been of great service to those among whom they dwelt, and they were much sought after, though few would ever leave the land of the folk of Haleth.
They had a marvelous skill as trackers of all living creatures, and they taught to their friends what they could of their craft,
but their pupils did not equal them, for the druidine used their scent like hounds, save that they were also keen-eyed.
They boasted that they could smell an orc to windward further away than other men could see them, and could follow its scent for weeks except through running water.
Their knowledge of all growing things was almost equal to that of the elves, though untaught by them.
And it is said that if they were moved to a new country, they knew within a short time all things that grew there, great or minute, and gave names to those that were new to them, discerning those that were poisonous or useful as food.
The Druidine, as also the other Atani, had no form of writing until they met the Eldar.
but the runes and scripts of the Eldar were never learned by them.
They came no nearer to writing by their own invention than the use of a number of signs, for the most part simple, for the marking of trails or the giving of information and warning.
In the far distant past, they appear already to have had small tools of flint for scraping and cutting, and these they still used, although the Itani had a knowledge of metals and some smithcraft before they came to Beleriand, for metals were hard to come by, and forged weapons and tools very costly.
I think so.
I mean, I think there's an implication.
