Easterlings are a broad term for Men from the eastern lands of Middle-earth, beyond Rhûn. Many Easterling cultures served Sauron as allies. In Tolkien's legendarium, various waves of Easterlings attacked the Free Peoples throughout the Second and Third Ages.

In MUME

Easterlings appear as hostile NPCs in the eastern regions of the MUME map. They are affiliated with the Shadow side and are enemies of the Free Peoples. Players may encounter Easterling warriors and chieftains in areas corresponding to Rhûn and the eastern marches.
