Yes, I was interested in the speculative value of knowing that the blue wizards came from Orome, the great hunter; but UT already speculates that it was due to knowledge of further lands; on the other hand, if P and A were "Maia of Orome", we may infer that their gifts somehow lined up with Orome's interests and strengths. Tamer of Wild Beasts? Great Hunter? I don't have The Sil in front of me; what other titles and strengths could we propound onto the blue (in keeping with Tolkien's characterizations of the other 3) based on Orome?
