What was the reason that Aiwendil/Radagast came to Middle-earth - or rather what/who/how made it happen - and why??? confused? OK! try anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Curumo took Aiwendil to please Yavanna.

Yes - go on!

Which of the Istari had a name that referred to dreams and visions?

Olorin?

That's the one! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What act did Saruman secretly imitate from Gandalf?

Smoking

Correct as usual, Bruce!

Smoking Pipe-weed. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Which of the Istari was the "Man of Craft"?

That is correct.

In Jeopardy! style.

This is why the Istari came to the north of Middle-Earth.

Judges? Correct.

Here's one that isn't actually about the Istari, but involves one of them.
How long was it after Thráin left his people that Gandalf found him?

2 years? Anyone for a stab in the dark?

9 years from TA 2841 to TA2850!

Nine years is correct! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/biggthumpup.gif

Which Istar said that he had attacked Dol Goldur? .... he did use the word 'attack'.

That would be Gandalf, who persuaded the Council to attack Dol Guldor, before that pesky Necromancer attack Lorien.

well zifnab - it was gandalf, but he was talking about a one-man attack - the before mentioned in 2850 - it was actually because he called it an 'attack' that I posted the question, as I was rather puzzled by his choise of words, in his talks with Thorin ei. before the white counsils attack in 2941...

Ask a new one, please

I see, Telchar. Thanks.

Who did Yavanna “beg” to take Aiwendil?

Curumo

Passes the torch to Bruce. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

What did Gandalf have to drink, and how much of it, after spending the day "picking out bear tracks"?

A quart of mead.

Your turn, Joy.

Sorry, it took so long. Couldn't find the thread again.

Correctomundo... Your turn Zifnab.

In "The Hobbit" where did Radagast live near?

The Southern Borders of Mirkwood.

Correct!

When the Istari first became known in Middle Earth, what did Men hold them to be?

Of Elven-Kind?
