5 Istari

I read sumwhere that there were 5 istari at sum point who came 2 middle earth, who were they?

i know obviosly about Gandalf n Saruman, n vaguely of Radagast (or howeva u spell it)

who were the other 2 and what happened 2 them? Oh, n Radagast 2?

the other two were the blue wizard i believe and there idenity is still unknown

Istari means 'Wise Ones' and they came to Middle-Earth under a sort of mission of the Valar and they travelled to Arda, but Saruman was the most powerful. They came to Middle-Earth around the 1000 year of the 3rd Age

The five were Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, Alatar, and Pallando. These five were known as other names before they were sent to Middle-Earth, Gandalf was Olorin, and Saruman was Curunir/Curumo. Radagast was also known as Aiwendil. Alatar and Pallando were the Ithryn Luin, or Blue Wizards.

These two travelled with Saruman to the East of Middle-Earth but when Saruman came back, these two didn't.

Sauron is also a Maiar but these Maiars are more lower class and can't stand up to the power of the Valar or Illuvatar.

no one knows even their names?

curunir is saruman
mithrandir is gandalf
olorin was another but i don't know if it's gandalf?
radagast is another
and i'm missing one or two... ?

Yeah he is Gandalf. Look up

Well done, I thought Kitoky did rather well in Exas absence lol, na I think the post is pretty much cleared up. Nice one 😉

Wasn't there another type like Sauron?

Discos - Exa rules, but trojans don't

it is assumed that the blue wizards were killed in the east by dark forces but tolkien hints that they may have turned evil and become like cult leaders of the easterlings and southronsl.

Well....you know how Sauron is the called the 'Dark Lord' but he's the Second Dark Lord. Sauron was probably one of the first to come to Middle-Earth, he was there since the First Age. So he's lived for about........14 or 15 thousand years.

Sauron's name means "Abhorred".

But before he came to Middle-Earth while he was still this perfect little lower class Maiar, he was perhaps the most powerful of the Lower class. So really when he came to Middle-Earth, earlier in the First Age, the Melkor corrupted him and you know the whole story right?
