Gandalf
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.
