They killed almost all of them thinking them to be the hated elves, but then heard one of them speak in the toungue similar to theirs. They realized then, that those were not Altmer, but men, or to be more specific a cross breed of men and men.

Oh and I alwasy assumed that Reach was one of the High Rock Kingdoms that split from High Rock at one point. I mean Reachmen might be different from Bretons of High Rock, but they are still Bretons. Although I am guessing threre would be Reachmen in Western Reach as well, regardless of weather Western Reach used to be a part of the Reach or not, I am sure a close proximity to High Rock would mean that the native population of those areas would be Bretons, just with different national identity. I do wonder wha is the story behind Reachmen and how they came to be, Bretons of High Rock call them Witchmen since they dabble in forbiden magic and often consort with deadra and other unholly things like Hagrevens and such. I wonder if Reach was formed by generations of Bretons who were practicing that stuff and tried fleeing from prosecution in High Rock, establishing independent kingdom of Reach. Although seems like it was so long in the past, that the people of Reach seemed to have been stuck in stone age being true to traditions of Old Gods and all. Although perhaps they make their weapons out of stone and wood and their clothes out of furs, skulls and feather because of necessity. It is not like they can expect help from anywhere in their rebelion...except maybe from Thalmor who want to see Empire being ravaged by internal strife. The Reach was not a High Rock Kingdom it is a Kingdom of Skyrim. The Reason why the area making up Jehanna, Farrun, and Dragonstar is known as the Western Reach is because those areas were conquerored by the Nords during the Skyrim Conquests; and do to there western proximity of Skyrim (and the Reach) the area was made into a new hold known as the "Western Reach".
