THE RADAGAST CONSPIRACY


THE 9 QUESTIONS OF THE RADAGAST CONSPIRACY
Who is the last Wizard standing, at the beginning of the Fourth Age?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Who never exposes himself to danger or discovery during the whole War of the Ring? Who’s nowhere to be found when things get out of hand in the battles with Sauron?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Who, by virtue of being the Wizard who dwells the most easterly, is the logical connection to the West for the so-called “lost” Istari, Allatar and Pallandro?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Note: there are those who believe that the beautiful sorceress Allatar is indeed the power behind Radagast, and that the proof of this is in her reappearance later in the Fourth Age as the goddess Ishtar. (Istari = Ishtar, not by coincidence!).

Which Wizard did the Nazgul continually avoid confronting?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Which Istari’s skillfull manipulation sets the two powerful wizards Gandalf and Saruman at each other’s throats just at the time when their collaboration might prematurely defeat Sauron?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Who taught the dark elf seductress Arwen all she knew about talking to birds and animals, and used her as his link into the Council of Elrond?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Who craftily spies upon—and manipulates the transportation of—the remnant of the Fellowship (Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas) as he springs his plan to defeat Saruman and distract Gandalf?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Who sends in air support at the last minute, thereby sealing the doom of Sauron and earning the gratitude of the Hobbits Frodo and Samwise? Who may have sent the Eagles to assist Bilbo in returning the ring to the control of the five Wizards?
Answer: The only Wizard who speaks ‘Eagle’: RADAGAST! RADAGAST!

Who played the “long game”? Who never bothered pursuing the doomed One Ring and its cheap trickery, understanding that in the end the real power lay in a cunning manipulation of all the players?
Answer: RADAGAST!

Unanswered questions: What’s the REAL meaning of “Merlyn” in Sindarin? Did not Merlin wear a brown cloak? Who’s the only wizard we know of who survived into medieval times to control Camelot—at the time the most powerful realm in the West? I think you know the answer.
