Even
as
the
first
shadows
were
felt
in
Mirkwood
there
appeared
in
the
west
of
Middle
-
earth
the
Istari
,
whom
Men
called
the
Wizards
.
None
knew
at
that
time
whence
they
were
,
save
Cirdan
of
the
Havens
,
and
only
to
Elrond
and
to
Galadriel
did
he
reveal
that
they
came
over
the
Sea
.
But
afterwards
it
was
said
among
the
Elves
that
they
were
messengers
sent
by
the
Lords
of
the
West
to
contest
the
power
of
Sauron
,
if
he
should
arise
again
,
and
to
move
Elves
and
Men
and
all
living
things
of
good
will
to
valiant
deeds
.
In
the
likeness
of
Men
they
appeared
,
old
but
vigorous
,
and
they
changed
little
with
the
years
,
and
aged
but
slowly
,
though
great
cares
lay
on
them
;
great
wisdom
they
had
,
and
many
powers
of
mind
and
hand
.
Long
they
journeyed
far
and
wide
among
Elves
and
Men
,
and
held
converse
also
with
beasts
and
with
birds
;
and
the
peoples
of
Middle
-
earth
gave
to
them
many
names
,
for
their
true
names
they
did
not
reveal
.
Chief
among
them
were
those
whom
the
Elves
called
Mithrandir
and
Curunir
,
but
Men
in
the
North
named
Gandalf
and
Saruman
.
Of
these
Curunir
was
the
eldest
and
came
first
,
and
after
him
came
Mithrandir
and
Radagast
,
and
others
of
the
Istari
who
went
into
the
east
of
Middle
-
earth
,
and
do
not
come
into
these
tales
.
Radagast
was
the
friend
of
all
beasts
and
birds
;
but
Curunir
went
most
among
Men
,
and
he
was
subtle
in
speech
and
skilled
in
all
the
devices
of
smith
-
craft
.
Mithrandir
was
closest
in
counsel
with
Elrond
and
the
Elves
.
He
wandered
far
in
the
North
and
West
and
made
never
in
any
land
any
lasting
abode
;
but
Curunir
journeyed
into
the
East
,
and
when
he
returned
he
dwelt
at
Orthanc
in
the
Ring
of
Isengard
,
which
the
Numenoreans
made
in
the
days
of
their
power
.
Ever
most
vigilant
was
Mithrandir
,
and
he
it
was
that
most
doubted
the
darkness
in
Mirkwood
,
for
though
many
deemed
that
it
was
wrought
by
the
Ringwraiths
,
he
feared
that
it
was
indeed
the
first
shadow
of
Sauron
returning
;
and
he
went
to
Dol
Guldur
,
and
the
Sorcerer
fled
from
him
,
and
there
was
a
watchful
peace
for
a
long
while
.

But
at
length
the
Shadow
returned
and
its
power
increased
;
and
in
that
time
was
first
made
the
Council
of
the
Wise
that
is
called
the
White
Council
,
and
therein
were
Elrond
and
Galadriel
and
Cirdan
,
and
other
lords
of
the
Eldar
,
and
with
them
were
Mithrandir
and
Curunir
.
And
Curunir
(
that
was
Saruman
the
White
)
was
chosen
to
be
their
chief
,
for
he
had
most
studied
the
devices
of
Sauron
of
old
.
Galadriel
indeed
had
wished
that
Mithrandir
should
be
the
Lead
of
the
Council
,
and
Saruman
begrudged
them
that
,
for
his
pride
and
desire
of
mastery
was
grown
great
;
but
Mithrandir
refused
the
office
,
since
he
would
have
no
ties
and
no
allegiance
,
save
to
those
who
sent
him
,
and
he
would
abide
in
no
place
nor
be
subject
to
any
summons
.
But
Saruman
now
began
to
study
the
lore
of
the
Rings
of
Power
,
their
making
and
their
history
.
Now
the
Shadow
grew
ever
greater
,
and
the
hearts
of
Elrond
and
Mithrandir
darkened
.
Therefore
on
a
time
Mithrandir
at
great
peril
went
again
to
Dol
Guldur
and
the
pits
of
the
Sorcerer
,
and
he
discovered
the
truth
of
his
fears
,
and
escaped
.
And
returning
to
Elrond
he
said
:
True
,
alas
,
is
our
guess
.
This
is
not
one
of
the
Ulairi
,
as
many
have
long
supposed
.
It
is
Sauron
himself
who
has
taken
shape
again
and
now
grows
apace
;
and
he
is
gathering
again
all
the
Rings
to
his
hand
;
and
he
seeks
ever
for
news
of
the
One
,
and
of
the
Heirs
of
Isildur
,
if
they
live
still
on
earth
.
And
Elrond
answered
:
In
the
hour
that
Isildur
took
the
Ring
and
would
not
surrender
it
,
this
doom
was
wrought
,
that
Sauron
should
return
.
Yet
the
One
was
lost
,
said
Mithrandir
,
and
while
it
still
lies
hid
,
we
can
master
the
Enemy
,
if
we
gather
our
strength
and
tarry
not
too
long
.

Then
the
White
Council
was
summoned
;
and
Mithrandir
urged
them
to
swift
deeds
,
but
Curunir
spoke
against
him
,
and
counselled
them
to
wait
yet
and
to
watch
.
For
I
believe
not
,
said
he
,
that
the
One
will
ever
be
found
again
in
Middle
-
earth
.
Into
Anduin
it
fell
,
and
long
ago
,
I
deem
,
it
was
rolled
to
the
Sea
.
There
it
shall
lie
until
the
end
,
when
all
this
world
is
broken
and
the
deeps
are
removed
.
Therefore
naught
was
done
at
that
time
,
though
Elrond
s
heart
misgave
him
,
and
he
said
to
Mithrandir
:
Nonetheless
I
forbode
that
the
One
will
yet
be
found
,
and
then
war
will
arise
again
,
and
in
that
war
this
Age
will
be
ended
.
Indeed
in
a
second
darkness
it
will
end
,
unless
some
strange
chance
deliver
us
that
my
eyes
cannot
see
.
Many
are
the
strange
chances
of
fee
world
,
said
Mithrandir
,
and
help
oft
shall
come
from
the
hands
of
the
weak
when
the
Wise
falter
.
Thus
the
Wise
were
troubled
,
but
none
as
yet
perceived
that
Curunir
had
turned
to
dark
thoughts
and
was
already
a
traitor
in
heart
:
for
he
desired
that
he
and
no
other
should
find
the
Great
Ring
,
so
that
he
might
wield
it
himself
and
order
all
the
world
to
his
will
Too
long
he
had
studied
the
ways
of
.
Sauron
in
hope
to
defeat
him
,
and
now
he
envied
him
as
a
rival
rather
than
hated
his
works
.
