: : : : And if no one does, could they have done anything? : : : Apparently the two blue wizards went into the east to fight Sauron and his supporters there, just as Gandalf did in the western part of ME. It is suggested, however, that they failed in this task and became leaders of some sort of a cult. : : : I can't remeber where I read this.... maybe somebody else can help out???? : : Unfinished Tales. : I meant did they or could they have done anything in the West of ME, before entering the East and leaving history. : Also, did Radagast do anything other than get fooled by Saruman? Sorry, I just thought you were looking for the text reference. I have no idea what the blue wizards did, if they did anything at all, in the West of Middle Earth, but another poster put forward the theory that they might have had something to do with getting Saruman elected to the head of the White Council. As for Radagast, apparently whatever he did, it was not enough as Tolkien considered him to have failed in his task.
