How did Gandalf regain his staff? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Very good , The staff is not merely a stick just as the grot box, it is an instrument into which to exhibit one's force, power, expression, feelings.
AHHH a worthy mind to exhibit true meanings.

The Istari arrived in Middle-earth after the first shadow had fallen on Greenwood. Why do you insist, Barahir, that Gandalf's staff was made from the wood of this forest? I just can't think of any source which suggests this.

I think it likely that the Istari brought staffs with them over the Sea; after all, they were in the bodies of old men and needed walking sticks. There's a thread near the top of the N & N forum about wizards and staffs. It's interesting.

Edit: It is called The True Istari. I'd link but I'm not sure there's such a thing as 82nd time lucky. ;-)

My friend if you read, it's in the 1st shadows when the Isatri arrived (Greenwood the Great) and this is the place where Gandalf first befriended the grey elfs, legolas's people. The mirkwood trees were full of good still at that time before the final shadows. My suggestion is to start yours readings with the Silmarrillion and work through the tales and so forth.

Remember we are what keeps this Earth alive.

Yes, Gandalf went to Mirkwood; but he went to other places too. We can make up anything we want but if you could provide a textual source for what you're claiming it would be great!

Besides, it's the Earth that keeps us alive.

Of course my Lad, The silmarillon page 299. However thats in my book which is a 1st edition. Look in the chapter the power of the ring the third age. You are so most Welcome.

If that's the case then why was the extra information cut from later editions of the Silmarillion?
