That is, they were afraid of the Witch-King, who they believed could control the weather, and helped King Arvedui of Arthedain. It was he who gave them the Ring of Barahir as a token, not a Ring of Power; this ring was later reclaimed by the Dúnedain of the North, probably in exchange for something. In my opinion, this makes them one of the almost uninvolved, but rather ‘good’ factions.
