Is there much known about the other wizards of Middle Earth?
Is there much known about the other wizards of Middle Earth?
There's a ton of stuff about Rhadaghast and J.R.R kicked the bucket before he could write anything meaningful about the other two.
The Blue Wizards are indirectly responsible for Sauron' downfall, for they've prevented the full host of the Easternlings from assembling under his banner, and were responsible for a number of successful rebellions against the Dark Lord.
>not knowing the weed smoking wizard who fucks rabbits
One is the Wizard of Interest Rates, the other is the Wizard of Debt, and the third is the Wizard of Tax Rates
nice fanfic
who gives a fuck. lotr sucks
They went east and did *something* Tolkien never gave a straight answer about them, he said that it was just a possibility that they prevented more Easterlings from falling under Sauron
Trip wizards
Which one is Jesus?
their virginity wizard levels vary, all at least level 70
One is radagast who has a role in the hobbit, the other two are the bloo wizards who either got corrupted due to the decadence of the orient (yes really) or prevented more easterlings from joining Sauron. Tolkien couldn’t decide officially but said there was potential for a story there

>the Blue Wizard on the left is jerking himself off
Seriously Tolkien? Jesus Christ!
Yea Forumscome bearing gifts
Damn his penor is fucked
Radaghast wasnt in the hobbit. No idea why he is in the movie.
Yes I was referring to the movie, he is in the appendixes and stuff in the books,
She's a quadroon herself anyway.
Blue Wizard? Never heard of em, I am but a simple enigmatic figure that lived throughout the history of Arda. I live with my wife Goldberry, Daughter of the River, Pipeweed is my game and trolling Maiar is my fame.
reject wizardry, fuck bitches, smoke pipeweed, sing songs.
Saruman killed the blue wizards
>the other two are the bloo wizards who either got corrupted due to the decadence of the orient (yes really)
Stuff like this reminds you that Tolkien was born and raised during the peak of the British Empire
It's in tolkien's letters.
They went to the east and created cults that subverted the religions of Morgoth worship Sauron used to exert his control.
They were basically setting up a 5th column that kept the full might of the east from crashing down on the west.
>No idea why he is in the movie.
Probably because his bit part got written out of the LOTR movies and they needed something to pad the run time.
>the decadence of the orient
He really was trying to tell us, wasn't he?
>>No idea why he is in the movie.
its obvious, they wanted to show another wizard and wanted to show 'what gandalf was doing' every time he left the fellowship on 'wizard business'. the wizard scenes were obviously constructed to turn the hobbit from just a simple children's story into an actual prequel to the lord of the rings by showing sauron's return.
Why was he such an asshole? The Ring didn't have any power over him, he could have easily taken it to Mordor and destroyed it, if he cared just a little bit about the other inhabitants of Middle Earth.
>*slaps roof of legendarium* We could fit so many fucking blue wizard stories in this bad boy before i die

He's switzerland.
Why should he care?
That's why I call him an asshole, because he doesn't give a shit about what happens outside his own isolated little home.
Just like the swiss
its a metaphor

Tolkien flat out said that LOTR doesn't have anything to do with any World War, so stop grasping at straws you fucking retards.
You think that's bad? Take a moment to think about how much Greek and Latin we've lost.
>Tolkien flat out said that LOTR doesn't have anything to do with any World War
Not exactly. He said that it wasn't allegorical, but places like gorgoroth in mordor were a hell on earth inspired by noman's land in the first world war.
Fuck that, go back even farther. Try to read a real translation of Gilgamesh. Half the thing is blank spaces that get filled in by context informed by a couple overlaping sources.
One of the reasons why I think that we should be working on a project, as a human race, to create as permanent of a repository of knowledge of the human race as possible. Just in case something happens to civilization there would be some way to keep whoever comes afterwards from having to start from scratch.
Wouldn't work, some people believe certain things should be forgotten.
it had no power over him precisely because he didn't care. if accepted the ring and took it to mordor to destroy it it would gain power over him.
So they are liberals ?
Seriously, the Tom Bombadil part in the books is comfy as fuck.
Whats his powerlevel?
fuck those people
Imagine being this retarded
>1 great semi-lost work compared to all the lost works of Greece and Rome
Not really fair to be honest.
>to create as permanent of a repository of knowledge of the human race
That's basically what the internet is.
The problem is, archaeology is a fucking meme in terms of funding, think about how many invaluable artifacts etc. are in the ground. I've grown to despise the infatuation there is of science/technology because of this. Technological and scientific advancement will happen regardless of how much money you throw at it, but what we have left of long gone civilizations is all we've got so we really should be investing as much as possible at digging up old sites, demolishing "newer" buildings to see what's underneath, etc.
Some people think the earth is flat. That's no reason to stop the space program.
Higher than Sauron at his peak.
>all white men

>1 great semi-lost work compared to all the lost works of Greece and Rome
If their most famous piece of religious lit was destroyed, how much else was lost to time.
I've always had this idea for a sci fi story in my head where a small group of people are sent back in time to protect all the great libraries and knowledge repositories from their inevitable destruction.
Like you send the corps of engineers to alexandria to make sure it doesn't fall into the ocean. Soldiers to Baghdad or Alamut to hold back the Mongolians, or protect the library of Constantinople. Maintain the lycaeum after aristotle dies, etc.
Could make for some pretty neat alt history /his/ porn.
ironic then that all the attempts at making it less of a children's story made it more of one
except maybe arguably the battle against the "necromancer", if going by the standards of today. though by the standards of the children's stories I grew up with it's perfectly in line with them
>If their most famous piece of religious lit was destroyed, how much else was lost to time.
It (probably I guess) wasn't all that noteworthy compared to what survived, same applies to Greek and Latin. Even though we today of course would love more, and even especially if it was lame shit just to read even that, but in general only the best survived and then chance saved whatever else came with.
Also a side note to this:
>muh christianity saved ancient greek and latin works!!1 they copied it for posterity!!
>also specifically decided what to save(for example Tacitus Annals not having the books that deal with the time that jesus the kike would have been running around) and in some cases even wrote over old works to write the same fucking dogshit b*ble they already have hundreds of
Some of the most important historical documents we have of Rome were tax and census data.
>Wizard of Debt
You mean Goldberg Rubhands?
the two blues are Harry Potter and Tom Riddle.
They used their magicks to escape their bigoted world. the came to middle earth. a place that is much more accepting of their love!
AAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HOLY BATMAN SHIT REDDIT!
GUYS GUYS GUYS UPVOTE THIS FUCKING POST
you mean Harriet Emeralzelda Black-Potter surely?
Tom Basedadil
You're both right, depending on the time.
Early on, it was that they did *something*, probably something bad.
Later in life, he wrote a letter about them saving the East.

Great work there, gods
What was rome's tax policy?
They are all liberals. Gandalf, Birdshit-hair, all of them. Only Saruman was corrupted.
they did some rough math to figure out how much wealth they thought a region had and so how much tax they could get out of it, then they hired out the process of its collection to randoms with the agreement that the collectors could keep whatever extra they were able to squeeze out of the population for themselves
nobody said that they were especially smart gods, or wizards.

>Over a month later, Tom became a topic of discussion at the Council of Elrond. There, Elrond, who had apparently met Tom in times long past, reminisced about him briefly before the question was put before the Council of whether or not to give the Ring to Tom, as it appeared as though Tom may have had power over even the Ring within his lands. However, Gandalf quickly dismissed the idea, saying that rather than Tom having power over the Ring, the Ring simply had no power over Tom. He was immune to its influence, but he could not alter it.
>Additionally, it was believed by Gandalf that while Tom might be willing to take the Ring if asked by all the Free People of the world, he might do so, but would not understand the reason. Due to this, Tom would have likely either forgot about it or thrown it away, as such things had little relevance to him.
>Despite his mastery within his realm, it was assumed that Tom would not have cared or been able to keep the Ring contained to his realm.

No - at least not in one-to-one combat. It is clearly stated that as well as being the herald of Manwe he was also the greatest of arms in Arda. As for Sauron's sorcery and shape-shifting powers though...
He was the best with weapons, but not necessarily the most powerful. I take that as maybe Sauron was more powerful overall (with his sorcery etc, yeah).
This guy has been fairly consistent and open to suggestions.

Divide and Conquer is not cannon.
Indeed if Switzerland had declared for the Allies in 1939, Berlin would have been under the Swiss hands by the end of next year.
>more powerful

Yea, they prevented the lost land of Nipponia from falling under the Dark Lord's shadow
Gandalf told you why in the first tome, but you didn't read the book!
I laughed like a retard, thanks user
Looks like Alfie
I like how we speculate as if it really happened - it's the sign of a great universe. Yeah likely if Tolkein had the time he would have written how the Blue wizards were assisting in the war in the north. Explains how 200,000 Easterlings were defeated by a small band of men and dwarves
because he is beyond that shit
but if sauron wins, he will be his slave too (gandalf words)
Old Flashy at it again
He didn't care (which is why the ring had no power over him), and he didn't have power outside his realm, speedreader
