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
