The Blue Wizards

"Istari" may include beings other than wizards. The term itself means messenger or emissary and note the text above saying that "the chiefs were five" indicating there were others, and different ranks. There may have been various classes of emissaries, not all of them Maiar incarnated into a wizard form. Glorfindal may have returned as one such and maybe there were other Amanyar sent to ME (although we have no text of them). Perhaps the Eagles of Manwe were cosnider "Istari". Prior to the first age Orome ofter rode through ME with a party of his Maiar and some enhanced hunting animals, hunting servants of Melkor, some of these may still be visiting ME.

And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me," Last edited by Lefty Scaevola : 02-24-2014 at 05:23 PM.
