Summary
Manwe forms the Istari and sends them over the sea, from Valinor to Middle-earth. He expects them to aid in the fight against Sauron and bring the errant Maia back to Valinor, so the Valar can kick his ass. The Istari do not want to go, except Saruman who, apparently, was once Mairon's sex slave.
Why is Radaghast sitting at the top of the ship's mast talking to an albatross?
How does Olorin arrive at the name Gandalf the Grey?
Will Cirdan wait forever or will he one day know happiness? Will Gandalf take good care of his ring?
Just how will the five wizards managed on the voyage over, and why does Saruman think he can order them about when he is the butt of the other Istari's jokes?
Read on and find out!
