Men of the Silmarillion - Page 32

Because he spends so much time with the part of middle earth that so many people neglect, not much of a surprise, as it was Yavanna that asked for him to be included in the group of Istari. Victory over evil sucks when you don't have anywhere to live, so he was important in his own way.
Sarumon writes him off as a fool, and that's kinda sad. I don't really think that he is, but because Radagast spent so much time with "beasts and birds" he was kinda left out of the loop when it came to treachery. At least when the battles occurred, Radagast personally stayed out of them, and stayed alive. I don't believe that he ever left ME, he prolly had become too attatched to it.
There's not much to go on, as he's really a minor player, at least as written into Tolkien's books, but the lack of info is what makes him so intriguing, and interesting to speculate about
Aiwendil is a prettier name than Radagast. I forget the exact translation of Radagast, but Aiwendil basically means lover of birds.
One thing that irritates me is that all of the (nine) pictures I've seen of Aiwendil portray him as the old man, Radagast the Brown, at the time of LOTR. He wasn't grey haired and old-looking to begin with, and being a Maia, he should be attractive.

Another of my favorite (and scarce, but at least he gets his own poems

) guys is Tom Bombadil...it seems that nothing in ME has power over him, and that's pretty cool. And he has an equally mysterious wife.

She digs guys who like furries?

Embladyne · 01-12-2005, 02:02 PM

um??

I said nothing about relationships with animals, or people dressed as animals, but sometimes it's nice to go after a guy who's not always getting himself into trouble.

Blackheart · 01-12-2005, 02:54 PM

Methinks she doth protest too much...

But it is nice to think that some women don't go after the bad boys...

After all we have too many fems chasing us as it is...

i still say Turgon is he who rules, the greatest of the elves, in my mind

Pytt · 01-13-2005, 09:40 AM

yay, agree with Chrys. the greatest elf. but not the greatest of all.

*sigh*

I try to get her to fall for Finrod, and it backfires.

Completely.

I personally don't care much for Turgon, but I don't feel like fighting today.

Thingol's new Wife · 01-13-2005, 04:55 PM

I like Thingol.

Are you *asking* me to harass you?

Don't worry, I'll be ready for more dinner conversations when you get back to school.

And Izzy will hate us.

Hey, I have the cp, so don't give me any crap. And Anna, no remarks about that or I'll show you all I've learned about useing it.

Yes, I am a Thingol hater, and with good reason.

Elemmire, where are you? I need backup here!!!

Thingol's new Wife · 01-14-2005, 12:26 PM

What you can't fight your own Thingol Hateing battles?

You know what, at least there are people I can call on that love Finrod. That's more than you'll find for Thingol. Almost everyone hates him. The big JERK!!!

Thingol's new Wife · 01-14-2005, 12:36 PM

I guess I've always loved a challenge.Unlike your prince who was totally predictable.

How is Thingol a challenge? He was a do nothing king that let his wife protect him and his people, while he sat around running his mouth and claiming lordship over Beleraind, and causing problems for everyone.

I am a fixer. Your prince bores me. He was too perfect, unlike my KING who needs me.

Finrod was not perfect, but wise and kind, but also very powerful.

I'm glad you can admit that your goof needs help. An attitude adjustment would be good.
