Frequently asked questions and common misconceptions This Tolkien "FAQ's" intent is to address some questions and misconceptions about Middle-Earth which are often encountered. We have decided to base it to some extent on the immense amount of knowledge and facts in our Forum. More installments will be added over time. The installments so far are: NEW: How many Wizards were there? by Sharkû The question how many istari, wizards, there were is often asked and often answered slightly wrongly. Sharkû tries to dissect the source material for all it's got. Círdan the Shipwright's beard by Legolas All about the mystery that is Elven facial hair. Beorn by Legolas Beorn, the skin-changer in The Hobbit, brings up questions about his nature and origins. Here are some answers. Also, you might want to take a look at the comprehensive and in-depth article All about Orcs by HerenIstarion. Glorfindel by Sharkû Glorfindel of Gondolin (First Age) and Glorfindel of Rivendell (Third Age) -- are they the same? Half-Elven Mortality by Legolas What are the intricacies of the special nature of the Half-Elves Elrond, Elros, and Arwen? Mortals in Valinor -- The Passing West of the Ringbearers by Legolas Or, Just what did it mean to sail from the Grey Havens? Sauron: Physical Form by Legolas Sauron never leaves his fortress for us to see in the Ring War. Was he just an eyeball, incapable of taking a proper form, having been defeated time and again? (Hint: no.) The other Wizards by Legolas Of Gandalf and Saruman we know much, but there were other wizards sent to Middle-Earth. What do we know about them? |
