The information you want is actually so much that you should read some books to understand everything.
I'll help you about wizards.They are Maiar (a kind of gods,servants to Valar-other gods),they are immortal spirits,just like Sauron,and only thier body can die.They are sent in ME about 1000 year of III ages by Manwe to help peolpe to stop Sauron.Wizards have enough power to stop Sauron,but they should not use their powers,cause people should defeat him by their own powers.The idea is that ME is created for men and they have to learn how to survive,so they have to defeat Sauron with some Maiar's help.Five wizards come to ME.Curunir(Saruman the White),Aiwendil(Radagast the Brown),Olorin(Gandalf the Grey) and other two who were blue wizards.
As I said the information is too much so if you have read TLOTR read The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.
Welcome Spidr
 
Thx that helped :D:D
i know it wass a lot to ask hehe bt maybe there will come one with a lot of time else i must buy a loooot of books *G*
And thx for W :)
 
Thx a lot :) if everone post a bit like that it really would be great :D:D
 
There's a little bit of broad information about Elves in Appendix F of Return of the King, which you may find useful. I'd also suggest reading through Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age in The Silmarillion, which contains some infomation about the Istari (Wizards).

But still, I'd go with Gil-Galad's view and suggest that the best way for you to learn is to read LotR, and perhaps even before that read The Silmarillion. ;) It's okay to glean infomation from the books, but in order to understand the full scope of what is read, reading the books (in my case, multiple times) entirely is the best way to learn and understand.

The elves, were the children awaiting from Eru. When the world was first made, Eru wanted to populate the world with others besided Valar. These were elves, and they waited until the age of the Trees to be awakened in the West. They dwelt in Aman, or the Undying Lands, and soon after went to middle earth when the Silmarills were captured. There was Noldor, Sindar, and Quendi. They together were the Eldar.

They inhabited Belriand.

Were did you guys learn about the blue wizards?!?!?! I did not know this!
Speak!
 
I think they may also have been briefly mentioned in The Sil or the Appendices to LotR, not directly though, it pretty much just said that there were 2 others, but it is not really known how many Istari (wizards) there are, only in the North of Middle-Earth is the number known.
 
Yes, i have the hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, Unfinished tales, and soon to have Lost tales. Im working right now on finishint ROTK, and im halfway trhu Silmarillion. I know its stupid to be reading both, so im saving The Silmarillion for when im done with others.
And does it make much sense that there are 2 Blue Wizards? That sounds strange. There should be a Red! Or better yet, Black!
It wouldve been cool if Sauraman was transformed into the Black Wizard when he turned evil.

Gandalf the White
Sauraman the Black
Radagast the Brown
Alatar the Red
Pollando the Blue

Now theres rankings for ya ;)
 
Morgulking there are 2 Blue Wizards because Allatar was the original one, and Pallando came only as his friend, Allatar requested it. Or maybe Pallado was the original and Allatar was the original, but that does not matter, the point is thats the reason why there were 2.
 
K thx but wat those lowing stuff up and persuading means? sry my english is not so well :D
 
ha ha ok well blowing stuff up is basically creating explosions, or fireworks if you will. Persuading means they basically tell them what to and try their hardest to get them to listen.
