4 unusual facts about Blue Wizards


Blue Wizards

On this later, more positive interpretation, the Blue Wizards may have been as successful as Gandalf, just located in a different theatre beyond the borders of the map in The Lord of the Rings.

This could also be due in part to the film makers lacking the rights to Unfinished Tales, The Silmarillion and the History of Middle-earth series and as such they could not legally name them.

They are called the Blue Wizards on account of their sea-blue robes (each of the other Istari had robes of a different colour), and their individual names are given in the Unfinished Tales as Alatar and Pallando.

An alternate set of names in Quenya for both wizards is given in the 1996 The Peoples of Middle-earth as Morinehtar ("Darkness-slayer") and Rómestámo ("East-helper").
