Next Hall of Fire Chat on Saturday, April 1st
-
Tookish @ 22:23 PST


Hullo Fans of Tolkien!

Gandalf the Grey has penned another Hall of Fire topic for me to share with you. If you missed Part I, have heart:

Istari Part II: Radagast and the Ithryn Luin -- the Blue Wizards

Much is known of Gandalf and Saruman, but what of the other three of the Order? How much is known about Radahast the Brown, and what happened to him after the War of the Ring? Did he go back into the west as Gandalf did, or did he suffer a different outcome?

And what of the two blue wizards, Alatar and Pallando? What is their fate? What were they sent to do in Middle-earth? It is said they went to the east; what was their mission exactly?

Bring your own questions and answers, and join me and Tookish on Saturday, April 1, at 5:30 EST.

Yours in haste, Gandalf


We now have a mailing list for the Hall of Fire! If you're interested sign on up! As always, please send in your Hall of Fire topics to Gandalf himself here at TheOneRing.net.

Thanks -- Tookish

Istari, Part 1: Gandalf and Saruman
-
Tookish @ 21:48 PST

Greetings Hall of Fire chatters!

What would Saturday be without a lively chat at our Hall of Fire? It seems like routine after lo these many months. Gandalf’s been at the brainstorming again, sortof remeniscent of the battle on Weathertop.... Here’s what he concocted with the help of Frode and _____

Istari, Part 1: Gandalf and Saruman

What is there origin and nature? Who was really the greater in power? Gandalf was said to be the greatest in wisdom of all the maiar, but Saruman was the chosen as the head of their Order. Who returned Gandalf to Middle-earth and dictated that he would become the White, supplanting Saruman? Why was Saruman ‘allowed’ to stray? What are some of the things Gandalf and Saruman did before the era of the War of the Ring in various parts of Middle-earth? What happened to Gandalf when he went back to Valinor at the end of the Third Age? Did he keep his wizard body or did he choose another? What happened to Saruman’s spirit?

If these questions stir your interest, come chat with us this Saturday, March 25, at 5:30 EST. As always, send your topic suggestions to Gandalf or
Tookish here at TheOneRing.net.

Thanks!

Tookish
