Wizards (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien, the Wizards of Middle-earth are a small group of beings outwardly resembling Men but possessing much greater physical and mental power. Two of these, the Blue Wizards, went into the East and do not come into the stories of Middle-earth. In spite of their specific and unambiguous goal, the Wizards are nevertheless capable of human feelings; thus Gandalf feels great affection for the Hobbits. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wizards_(Middle-earth)   (937 words)

Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien translated "Middle Earth" as Endor (or sometimes Endóre) and Ennor in the Elvish languages Quenya and Sindarin, respectively. Tolkien insisted that Middle-earth is (part of) our Earth in several of his letters, in one of them (no. 211) estimating the end of the Third Age to about 6,000 years before his own time. A Middle Earth play-by-mail game was originally run by Flying Buffalo and is now produced by Middle Earth Games; this game was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design's Hall of Fame in 1997. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Middle-earth   (5923 words)

Middle East - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Middle East The Middle East, in its widest sense, used to embrace the area from Afghanistan in the east to Mauritania in the west, and has a variety of diverse ethnic groups. The last cohesive indigenous empire of the Middle East was the Ottoman Empire, but since its decline in the 20th century a new force provided the Middle East with international power – oil. Bodies which provide for intra-regional recycling of oil funds to the poorer Middle East states include the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, the Saudi Arabian Development Fund, the Abu Dhabi Fund, and the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development. encyclopedia.farlex.com /Middle+East   (772 words)

Christian Truth and Middle-earth Myth The wizards were all on the side of Good when they were sent to Middle-earth, their mission to encourage good wherever they could find it, and hinder evil wherever it sprouted. While the magic of Middle-earth's elves and wizards is not technological but natural or (rarely) supernatural, the analogy holds. While elf-magic is an artful use of their natural abilities, some magic used by wizards is from beyond this world. www.elvenminstrel.com /tolkien/christian.htm   (3480 words)

Globetrotter Games -Middle-Earth the Wizards:  Rules Wizard: Each player plays one of the five Wizards sent to Middle-earth to unite and counsel the Free Peoples.

A Middle Earth Fantasy Wizards are forbidden to dominate the peoples of middle earth though Sauruman disobeyed this rule and joined forces with the evil.

Alatar - Tolkien Gateway One of the five Wizards who came to the northwest of Middle-earth in the Third Age; he journeyed into the east with Pallando, and never returned to the western lands. Alatar was one of the original three Wizards selected by the Valar for the journey from Valinor to Middle-earth (the other two being Curumo and Olórin - Saruman and Gandalf). With Saruman, they journeyed into the far east of Middle-earth, but while Saruman returned to the west, Alatar and Pallando did not. tolkiengateway.net /wiki/Alatar   (130 words)

Other Beings of Middle-earth Radagast was one of the five Wizards sent to Middle-earth in the Third Age. While his affinity with nature was useful to Gandalf, overall it appears that Radagast neglected his mission to assist the peoples of Middle-earth in their struggle against Sauron. It is said that of the five Wizards only Gandalf remained faithful to his task and that he was the only one allowed to return to the Undying Lands. www.tuckborough.net /otherbeings.html   (4627 words)

Kulkmann´s Gamebox - Middle Earth: The Wizards "Middle Earth - The Wizards" (METW) is a trading card game based on Tolkien´s "Lord of the Rings" and it was released by ICE only a few years ago. There also exist two Booster-based expansions called "Middle Earth: The Dragons" and "Middle Earth: Dark Minions". In the game each player takes up the role of one of the five Great Wizards struggling against Sauron (Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, Pallando and Alatar). www.solicitor.de /gamebox/reviews/metw.htm   (725 words)

Saruman He was said to have been the first of the Wizards to arrive in Middle-earth, although according to another story he was asked by Aule's spouse Yavanna to bring the Wizard Radagast with him. The Wizards' mission was to help the free peoples of Middle-earth in their struggle against Sauron without seeking domination or power for themselves. He had turned to evil and sought to establish dominion over Middle-earth and the Valar decided to send emissaries oppose him. www.tuckborough.net /saruman.html   (5396 words)

Middle Earth: The Wizards Middle-earth: The Wizards, Middle-earth, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Return of the King, and all characters and places therein, and the Burning Eye are trademark properties of Tolkien Enterprises. The drawback is that it can be quite hard to visualise where you are trekking, and which regions to play, unless you are intimately familiar with Middle Earth geography. I doubt there is any fantasy background anywhere near as rich, deep and believable as Middle Earth and it remains the only fantasy book where I have been able to read 'silly' names without problems. www.gamecabinet.com /reviews/MiddleEarthTW.html   (5624 words)

Middle Earth: The Wizards I would highly recommend this book if you really want to advance your Middle Earth: The Wizards knowledge. If you are new to the whole collectible card game idea, the book Middle Earth: The Wizards Companion™ would be a good buy and a good read as it better explains things. It is a good idea to put two different wizards in your deck just in case your opponent plays the one that you so hoped to use. www.nggnet.com /games/cgs/ArticlesReviews/Back/middleearth.htm   (652 words)

evolution.html The first set, Middle Earth: The Wizards is aptly named, because as a player you will take the role of one of the Wizards, Gandalf, Radagast, Saruman, Alatar, or Pallando, sent to Middle Earth to fight the Shadow. So which base set does the initiate start with, Middle Earth: The Wizards or Middle Earth: The Lidless Eye? While the player is traveling around Middle Earth in an effort to gather resources his opponent is playing hazards on him in order to hinder or stop the player from interacting in the world of Middle Earth. www.guildcompanion.com /scrolls/1998/dec/evolution.html   (1260 words)

The Blue Wizards Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library The Blue Wizards are said to have come with him to Middle-earth, but again, they were not sent to bolster Elrond's forces, but rather to weaken Sauron's, to disestablish his influence in the East. However, in 1996, when the twelfth book of the History of Middle Earth, The Peoples of Middle-Earth, was published, a new perspective on the Blue Wizards was revealed--a perspective that ran against the very information contained in essentially all previous sources on the two missing wizards. That this contradicts such statements as Gandalf being the only Wizard to remain faithful is clear, however, statements such as these are given at time when earlier ideas of the Blue Wizards were in consideration, and were not published in Tolkien's lifetime. www.lotrlibrary.com /agesofarda/bluewizards.asp   (1408 words)

One Risus to Rule Them All... The most notable of the Maia remaining in Middle-earth are the dark lord Sauron, the wizards Gandalf, Saruman, and Radagast and the demons of shadow and flame known as Balrogs. Such is the case of Sauron, greatest of the Maiar on Middle-earth who was driven back again and again over the ages and who ever seeks to increase his power and influence over the world. The number of Maia in Middle-earth is intentionally small as the potential power each can wield could easily disrupt and destroy much which the Valar first built. mmkurko.home.att.net   (2510 words)

Books about J.R.R. Tolkien - The Real Middle-earth by Brian Bates - critical review and essay J.R.R. Tolkien books on Middle Earth, like The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings, are told as if the story takes place in a real existing place in a time long forgotton. The Real Middle Earth presents a fine tour through the mythology of early medieval England, based on an original and compelling use of archaeological and literary sources. At its center was Middle Earth, a place peopled by humans, but imbued with spiritual power. tolkienlibrary.com /booksabouttolkien/realmiddleearth/description.htm   (909 words)

DVD Talk Forum - How many wizards are there in Middle Earth? Sauron was originally one of the maiar and therefore very powerful, and so in order to aid the peoples of Middle Earth in their fight against Sauron a few of the maiar were sent to help disguised as men. This comes from Tokien's "Unfinished Tales" in the chapter called "The Istari." For a more detailed understanding of the maiar and the gods of Middle Earth I would suggest The Silmarillion. As was previously mentioned 2 of the wizards went east and were never heard of again. www.dvdtalk.com /forum/showthread.php?t=260501   (1026 words)

Tolkien Frequently Asked Questions List: Istari (Wizards) The Wizards were Maiar (spiritual beings of lower "rank" than the Valar) sent to Middle-earth by the Valar in human form as Messengers to help in the struggle against Sauron: the term "incarnate angel" is approximately correct. No names given them in Middle-earth are recorded, just the title Ithryn Luin, 'The Blue Wizards' (for they were clad in sea-blue) (their names in Valinor were Alatar and Pallando). Being incarnated limited their power, and intentionally so, because their mission was to organize the resistance and to inspire the peoples of Middle-earth to help themselves, not to do the job for them. tolkien.slimy.com /tfaq/Istari.html   (593 words)

are wizards men? or something else? - THE TOLKIEN FORUM Wizards are Maia sent to Middle-Earth by the Valar early in the Third Age when it became apparent that Sauron was again taking shape. But I understand that Tolkien's point of view on 'wizards' is different from other fantasy writers: in most stories Wizards are wise, both young and old men, who practice differing volumes of magic. The maia (including the wizards, the balrog, and Sauron) are like angels. www.thetolkienforum.com /showthread.php?t=997   (772 words)
