In the Silmarillion it is said that:
Quote:
Wisest of the Maiar was Olórin. He too dwelt in Lórien, but his ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her learned pity and patience.

And in the Unfinished Tales, it is explained that in early versions Gandalf was a counsellor of Irmo (Lórien); before this was changed and he became a maia of Manwë and Varda. Should this change have also been reflected by changing the place where Gandalf lived in Valinor? In my opinion, it is somewhat strange that a maia of Manwë lives in Lórien; but I may be wrong
