This gave me an idea for some fan fiction. Focused on the blue wizards fighting the dark lord's servants in the east, and how they came to rule in the east(they failed in their task) in an attempt to fight these servants, forming a persian or chinese like empire. And I recall reading in either the Unfinished Tales or the appendix of Lord of the Rings there were grey elves living in the east so they could make a good addition to it too. (do you think you can do a video on grey elves of middle earth?)
In the shadow of mordor game it talks about as a rumor The Black Hand of Sauron was once A King of men who brought the head of two of the istari in the east, meaning they must be dead if this is true, the info is in the Appendices under the section.
i think the blue wizard was seen in lords of the wings fellowship of the ring. u think u see them in bree when frodo was looking for the pony dance bar. u see 2 old dudes in blue robes for like 2 seconds. its easily missed but the 2 men were wearing blue robes. at 50:18 you will see 2 wizard looing people with hoods and they are blue robes. that look kinda like wizard robes
The info you gave is close, but not not close enough to be considered accurate e.g regarding Alatar and Pallando, he [Tolkien] never qualified which was Morinehtar & Rómestámo The names were of course Alatar and Pallando as per 'Unfinished Tales', and they were far from 'minor spirits' unless you consider the Balrog(s) and Gothmog in the 1st age minor? "Manwë summoned the Valar for a council at which it was resolved to send out three emissaries to Middle-earth and he asked who would go. They would have to lose might and clothe themselves in flesh to win the trust of Elves and Men but this would also imperil them, diminish their wisdom and knowledge and bring upon them fear, the care and weariness of the flesh. Only two came forward; Curumo [Saruman] and Alatar. Curumo was chosen by Aulë among "his" Maiar, and Alatar was sent by Oromë. Manwë asked where Olórin [Gandalf] was, and Olórin, just returning from a journey and coming to the meeting, asked what he wanted from him. Manwë said that he wished him to go as the third to Middle-earth. Olórin answered that he thought himself too weak for such a task, and added that he feared Sauron. Then Manwë said that that was all the more reason why he should go, and he commanded him to go as the third. There Varda broke in and said "Not as the third," and Curumo remembered that." The tale ends with the statement that Curunír (the original name given to Saruman as the leader of the Wizards/Istari who would first came to Middle-earth to combat the evils of Sauron)was obliged to take Aiwendil [Radagast] with him to please Yavanna, Aulë's wife, and that Alatar took Pallando as a friend. You also make several inaccurate assumptions that can be misleading - Yes, Tolkien did change his mind about their failure in his original statement going on to say in a text published in '96 "...[He said]... they arrived not in the Third Age, but in the Second, around the year 1600, the time of the forging of the One Ring. Their mission was to travel to the east and weaken the forces of Sauron. And it is here said that the Wizards far from failed; rather, they had a pivotal role in the victories of the West at the end of both the Second and the Third Ages. At the same time, Tolkien considered the possibility that Glorfindel arrived back in Middle-earth along with the Blue Wizards And so, by pure happy happenstance did they impact on the battle at the gate which happened a considerable time later than they were known to be active, and noting the Haradrim and Easterlings is both a huge leap in faith but also i suspect a simple, massive, inaccurate assumption If you're going to make a video to showcase fact (as in, Tolkien fact of a fictional setting heavily influenced by English and European folklore) for those looking for information on characters within the massive amount of lore Tolkien produced, characters as obscure as Morinehtar & Rómestámo (who he never actually qualified if they were renamed instead of just noting their names in a different tongue) you're just not quite Carlsberg... nice background tune mind and thumbs up for the effort you have put into making the video, great presentation skills
radagast became a hippie that cared more about animals than he did his job he still helped and somewhat followed his mission but he wasn't on topic for most of his time in middle earth he's no better than Saruman, the only difference is that Saruman became evil. Radagast just eventually stopped caring.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all! God bless you all! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is too difficult for the Lord our God, with Christ, ALL things are possible!
Thank you guys for watching! :) More videos coming soon!
Great video it was really interesting:)
Looking forward to seeing more great video about LOTR soon!!!!

We will surely put your request on our to do list ;)
I’ve always wondered about this. This should be very interesting.
So is Gandalf's line about forgetting their names a nod to Tolkien forgetting their names?
Whenever I hear your intro music I can't help but think I'm about to hear someone sing "Take Me Out to the black".
Damn a LotR Video!? NICE!
No idea you had another channel. Thanks for the upload and God bless

What is shown from 2:46-2:49?? I’ve never seen that before

I liked how you pronounced Morinehtar haha 😁
At first I thought this was the scoundrel's catina channel 🤣🤣
It is, kinda XD
XD I didn't realize till end of village
I thought you sounded familiar
Because we are the same people XD
Why is this called Lord of The Rings Lore instead of Lored of The Rings

This is cool I’m subscribing
Melkor became Morgoth... Probably caused Sauron to be more goth...
I like this channel
I hope we see more of the blue wizards on the amazon series they are making
Your voice is really relaxing.
Good video :)
Nice intro
In the pre woke era I would have loved to see a movie or series about these guys. The wizards are some of my favorite LotR charecters
Source of map at 1:36?
It's from the Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen Fonstad
awesome
interesting video hope to see more LOTR content:)
You surely will ;)
that great news:)
Smurfs.
is one of the Blue Wizards Merlin ? xD
That means Radagast failed?...
radagast became a hippie that cared more about animals than he did his job
he still helped and somewhat followed his mission but he wasn't on topic for most of his time in middle earth
he's no better than Saruman, the only difference is that Saruman became evil. Radagast just eventually stopped caring.

Jesus Christ is Lord of all! God bless you all! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is too difficult for the Lord our God, with Christ, ALL things are possible!
Your cadence makes it very hard to watch this video.
You are emphasizing the wrong words, making it difficult to catch the important terms you use.
