It's complicated. Their earliest ancestors were one and the same with the Tauredain. After they left to the Dark Lands, they developed into a culture somewhat similar to the Aborigines, mixed with the Maya/Aztec sort of stuff in Tauredain culture, and after that they eventually left the Dark Lands and in a nine month journey they ended up in the Sun Lands, where the Japanese elements came in. After a couple centuries, their ancestors ended up in Rhûn in the early Second Age. This is where they got many aspects of their metallurgy, obtaining alloys like bronze and steel for the first time. This was the time period in which they developed Atmoran bronze which is as strong as high end steel(there's been crazier things in these RPs...), and after a time they became acquainted with the culture of Númenor, and had their first contact with Elves. This time they were forced out by the people we know today as the Easterlings. With nowhere else in the North to go, scholars of their people suggested a return to their roots in Far Harad. And thus Atmora was born in the Valley of a Thousand Rivers near the Haradwaith coast east of Ka'ax Toliath. They mostly speak either Latin or a far more ancient guttural tongue. Their worst enemy is something they refuse to identify, but they claim that it is Atmora's destiny to defend Middle-Earth from them.
