Of Beorn

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

Good point. Presumption is dangerous on the Barrow Downs Forums. Bold statements that can be argues are ten times deadlier. The coincedence that Tolkien put Radagast near Beorn for Gandalf's benefit; iffy. Remembering Tolkien first wrote the Silm during WWII, he probably had some idea at least which Maiar Gandalf and Radagast were. Of course, that doesn't really say anything. But that whole Radagast, master of shapes and hues thing is pretty good evidence. I'll be the first to admit I'm shooting into the breeze here. I just like debating good points, especially when it's one of those dead ends that Tolkien himself may have only thought about and hadn't ventured into. Maybe looking up the history of Beowulf will help. If those tales make mention of his father being a powerful wizard, consider me closer to the truth. Peace.
