Grimbold, if you have read "The Istari" in UT, you will get the answer to your question.

Some possibilities are:
1. They felt that ME is a very hopeless place, so they packed their bags and returned to Valinor (a very loose translation [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) or...
2. They easily got burdened of their errand to ME from the Valar so they did the same as they did in #1 and lastly...
3. They found their way to Mordor and became Sauron's minions (although they are all Maiar). Really. This was mentioned there.

I might be wrong, so somebody correct me if I am! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

By the way, sorry for straying from the topic! I just felt the need to answer Grimbold's question. Hope it helped.

Welcome to the Downs, Suardeloth! Enjoy being dead.
