Tolkien Geek: The Quest For Erebor This story was to be a part of the resolution chapters in "The Return of the King" that followed the destruction of the Ring at Mount Doom. So Gandalf's goal was twofold: he wanted to find a way to deal with the Dragon and also convince the White Council that they should move against Dol Guldur and disturb Sauron's plans before he could reach his full power. He was in possession of the map to the secret entrance to Erebor and the key that opened it. tolkiengeek.blogspot.com /2007/03/quest-for-erebor.html   (1808 words)

The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Sauron's Right Arm (a southpaw, I presume) While Erebor was sieged, the pass to the north of Ered Mithrim was cleared of defenders. So, in sending Bilbo off with Thorin and company, Gandalf was hoping for the re-establishment of the realms of Erebor and Dale to provide protection against an invasion of Eriador by Sauron through the northern passes, while eliminating a potential (and powerful) ally for Sauron. Well, I think that he recognised that, given his committments in the South and elsewhere, his army in the North would have been cut off, and quite possibly eliminated, by the forces that he was at that stage besieging. forum.barrowdowns.com /showthread.php?t=963   (936 words)

Them Dwarves, Them Dwarves, Part II In "The Quest for Erebor" (Unfinished Tale) Christopher Tolkien collated fragments of texts his father had written in attempts to explain (mostly through Gandalf) how the expedition of Thorin and Company to Erebor was arranged in 2941. The restoration of the Kingdom under the Mountain in Erebor in 2941 meant that the colony of Longbeards probably departed soon afterwards to join Dain II in the east. They don't seem to be Longbeards, who had a strong kingdom in Erebor and still probably held the Iron Hills in force. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/tolkien/29244/8   (587 words)

The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Radagast's Whereabouts and Gandalf's Plan... While he could by no means be certain that the Quest would succeed, he put his faith in providence (Iluvatar) to guide it to its conclusion. While it is true that he wasn't true to his quest as a Wizard, he also did not utterly forsake the people of Middle Earth nor did he do any harm to them. Even if he had not fallen out of the plot at Moria, I am positive that something else would have drawn him away from the final quest; in the end it was up to the hobbits to complete the mission that they had been chosen for. forum.barrowdowns.com /showthread.php?t=1636   (2928 words)
