I know that they say that Olorin was the wisest of the Maiar, but then how did Curunir land the job of head honcho of the order of the Istari? IT DOESN"T MAKE SENSE!!

Galadriel wanted Olorin to have the job. But considering Curumo's ambition, it's no real surprise that he got the job.
It might also have been due to the fact that Olorin spent much of his time dealing with the different races of ME, while Curumo studied the arcane ways and knowledge of the Enemy (knowledge that eventually led to his destruction...), and thus seemed more suited the job. At least that's the way I see it. eh... sorry about the Quenya names. Curumo/Curunir/Saruman and the constant repetition of "the job" ![]()

yeah, I guess, I mean, Radagast disn't really do anything to stop Sauron, unless he trained a whole army of killer animals!

Yeah he did. To Isenguard, bringing news to Gandalf and Saruman. So in a way if it weren't for him the Ring wouldn't have been destroyed.

Oh, I was rereading part of the Silm last night, and I think I was reading that Aule created the ents because Yavannah wanted the trees to have some form of protector. ![]() |

The ents were originally just spirits, but they eventually turned into trees.
I just read something that said that Eru gave the Olvar(Flora) and the Kelvar(fauna) each a gift, he gave the Olvar mobility, and the Kelvar spirits so harm would not come to them because they could not move. I think that Aule and Ent thing is right, I'll check

Hey, people. You think all was this Radagasts doing? i think the ealges knew exactly was going on, and with their slightly dumber friend, Radagast, they planned it all out. so this ring it was such a rabble about, was destroyed.
