The Wise

Title of the most far-sighted of Elves and Wizards

Years of the TreesFirst AgeSecond AgeThird AgeFourth Age

 

A title used for various individuals across the Ages, denoting particular knowledge, understanding and insight. Among the Elves it was first used of Nerdanel the wife of Fรซanor, but later also for King Turgon and Lord Celeborn. It was especially associated with the Wizard Saruman, but was also used for his fellowWizard Gandalf the Grey.

 

Gandalf It is perhaps surprising that Gandalf is only described as 'Gandalf the Wise'on a single occasion, and that in The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen written long after he had left Middle-earth. Perhaps Gandalf discouraged the title (unlike his fellow Wizard Saruman, who used it of himself) but by the second century after his departure it had become at least somewhat established among the Gondorians.
