What if Saruman had repented at Orthanc ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Looking at all these "what if''s" , I'm beginning to think that if Saruman had repented it might have caused more trouble than it was worth !

I think that if I'd been Gandalf I'd have sent Saruman to northern Wilderland, to help the Beornings, the Elves in the Woodland Realm in Mirkwood and the Dwarves and Men around the Lonely Mountain and Esgaroth.

Sending him to attack Dol Guldur would also have been tempting but I think I agree that Galadriel and Saruman might not have got on, so getting him away from the environs of Lorien was probably a good idea.
