Description

Gandalf, also known as Mithrandir (Elves), Incanus (Men of the South), and Tharkûn (Dwarves), plays an important role in the War of the Ring. A Maia of Manwe, Lord of the Valar, his true name is Olorin. Sent along with four others (Curumo, Aiwendil, Alatar, and Pallando) to Middle Earth to fight Sauron, he was chosen by Manwe himself for his humility and compassion. Gandalf is known for his mastery of fire, and bears Narya, the Elven ring of Fire. Of the Five Istari (wizards) Gandalf alone was loyal to his task, and was instrumental in Sauron's defeat. In-game, Gandalf is seen in:

  • The Dwarf intro
  • The Prancing Pony
  • The Last Homely House (main location)
"Also known as the Grey Wizard (his Sindarin name Mithrandir means "Grey Pilgrim"), Gandalf is perhaps Middle-earth's best-known inhabitant. Although he sometimes appears to be old and frail, Gandalf the Grey is actually one of the most powerful allies of the good folk of Middle-earth and a guide to the Free Peoples in their struggle against the darkness. In addition to being a powerful wizard, Gandalf wields Glamdring, the Foe-hammer, a magical Elven-sword forged in the First Age and greatly feared by the creatures of evil. Calling no land his home, he is friend to many, especially Hobbits, and revered by Elves. Since he is often at the center of world-changing events, he is also feared by many as an omen of difficult times ahead.
Gandalf serves as a wise leader in LOTRO, rarely seen, but always guiding events through his dealings. Players will often hear mention of Gandalf in the lands between Bree and Rivendell and may occasionally cross his path, since his activities in these early days of the War of the Ring serve to guide not only the quest to destroy the One Ring, but also the heroic activities of all the adventurers who seek to stand against evil." - from lotro.com
