Come on people. All you have to do is look at a map of Beleriand. If you don't have one, there are maps at the Tolkien Archives.

If I know how to count, this is my 100th post, so I must become a Wight with this message. This means that Gandalf (my favourite character in Middle-Earth) will be the subject of this question:

If the power of Saruman was in his voice, what was the power of Gandalf?

Answer can be found in UT, but it can also be guessed.

The name 'Gandalf' actually means that; 'gand' for 'staff' and 'alf' for 'elf'.

Gwaihir is correct.
In LOTR it is said that the power of Wizards resides in their staffs, Gwaihir got this, but it wasn't what I was looking for.
I was looking for Gandalf foresight and his ability to put &quot;images&quot; or &quot;dreams&quot; in the hearts of those who spoke to him.
Ask away, great Eagle!

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/narya.jpg" align=absmiddle> Re: Gandalf

Just a question about your answer and not for the post since Gwairir gets to do that. But would each wizard get their certain power from who they studied under? Gandalf, the under-study of Irmo ends up with powers similar. Would then Saruman, have powers similar to Aule, and the blue wizards to Orome(weren't they of his order?). I think this would be right since Saruman was so interested in the ring and all.

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/narya.jpg" align=absmiddle> Re: Gandalf

Yes, Durelen, you would be correct. Maiar under Valar were helpers of their particular Power, so they had to share the same interests and skills.

It's a god thing that I mentioned foresight as well; I wasn't going to at first, but moved it may be by some deep premonition of danger I took the precaution. <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> Anyway; these two Elfs had two unusual twists each in their life stories that they shared; they were both women. Who were they?

Vana got it. Arwen and Luthien were the only two Elves ever to depart from the world as Men and dwell with Illuvitar outside the Circles of the World; they were also two of the three that were wedded to a Man.
