The Blue Wizards

Only two came forward; Curumo and Alatar... and Alatar took Pallando as a friend

J.R.R Tolkien

Alatar really is the embodiment of that one friend who thinks going on a field trip in the middle of nowhere where you have never been before is a good idea.

It will be fun he said.

Alatar: Such fun we´re having!!

Pallando: Hmm...

Alatar: No?

Even as the first shadows were felt in Mirkwood there appeared in the west of Middle-earth the Istari, whom Men called the Wizards. In the likeness of Men they appeared, old but vigorous, and they changed little with the years, and aged but slowly, though great cares lay on them; great wisdom they had, and many powers of mind and hand.

I wonder how many, if any, elements of LOTR we have Edith to thank for.

I mean, her husband was writing this stuff throughout their entire marriage, and he must’ve run some of it by her, if not all of it. Plus he based an entire character (Lúthien) on her, which she must’ve known. I wouldn’t be surprised if she looked over an early draft of LOTR and said “honey, come on, put an interesting female character somewhere in here,” a wish he most certainly granted with my girl Éowyn.

I’ve heard rumors that JRR originally intended to pair Aragorn and Éowyn as a couple and then tragically kill off Éowyn, but Edith said “no way you’re making it that depressing” and insisted he change it. I’m not sure if this is true, but if so, thank you, Edith!

Also this may be a stretch - and it probably is - but I wonder if she had something to do with his drastic changes to the Blue Wizards’ story. In the 50s he wrote that they probably fell to Sauron and started evil magic cults; perhaps towards the end of their lives, Edith said “honey, come on, they had to have been more helpful than that.” It was 1972, the year after Edith passed, that JRR wrote his updates to the Blue Wizards saying they were actually successful in turning many Easterlings away from Sauron. Perhaps he did so to honor an idea of hers?

If anyone has any sources mentioning any contribution from Edith, I’d love to hear about it.

@tolkienofcolourweek day one | ainur | the blue wizards

Their task was to circumvent Sauron: to bring help to the few tribes of Men that had rebelled from Melkor-worship, to stir up rebellion and after his first fall to search out his hiding (in which they failed) and to cause dissension and disarray among the dark East... They must have had very great influence on the history of the Second Age and Third Age in weakening and disarraying the forces of East who would both in the Second Age and Third Age otherwise have outnumbered the West.

"The Blue Wizards: Underrated Heroes of The Middle Earth" series: art 1: The Path. Alatar Morinehtar (ahead) and Pallando Romestamo. It's said Gandalf looked older than other Istari, so I never imagined them totally grayhaired and all... Hope you like my interpretation. <3

I thought about designs for the Blue Wizards inspired mostly by the Near East as it is told that they went somewhere far east/south, so here we go.

Two magical dudes

the blue wizards

in watercolor and pencil.

Tolkien OC Week: Day 4 Forgotten Characters. Not exactly forgotten, but Tolkien ignored these dudes enough in LOTR they might as well be. I suspect they were already killed by the events of LOTR since being missionaries and revolutionaries can be a dangerous job. RIP blue wizards.

I think Pallando is the guy on the left and Alatar is the guy on the right because the guy on the left has a very friendly expression while the guy on the right is more solemn. The guy on the left just seems like the friendly friend you need for a mission. But interpret it how you want. I don't really care who's who. Their appearances were inspired by how I imagine Easterlings and Haradrim would look. So central Asian (with a Vietnamese hat because I saw it on fan art and I liked it) and Persian.

Because I waited so long between drying layers I barely got this in before midnight.
