The Sîrrandrai are Elves of Nandor descent, akin to the Laiquendi, who did not enter into Beleriand. They remained behind in the woods and plains of Eriador under the rule of King Bornmîr. While largely migratory, they also established a permanent realm in the lands later known as Sîrgala between the Baranduin and Ered Luin, which one day became the southern lands of Arthedain.
During the War of the Elves and Sauron, Sîrgala was greatly devastated by Sauron's advancing armies, with the Sîrrandrai fleeing into Lindon and over the Sea to Valinor. While some returned to Sîrgala after the War, their former domains saw increasing numbers of Dunedain settlers thereon. While friendly and cooperative, the growing Dúnedain population resulted in a changing of the identity of their ancient homeland, and more and more of the Sîrrandrai acknowledged the reality that their land was passing from their hands, with the last rulers of Sîrgala, Merethorn & Eliniel, ceding formal rulership of the land to the Dunedain lord Elendil.
Afterwards, what Sîrrandrai were left slowly departed the land for Harlindon or Valinor, but a small group remained in the Tower Hills, where they could keep watch over the lands they once had owned, and what few kin may have remained there.
