The Riders of Rohan are awesome, and Gandalf the White comes just in time to save the poisoned mind of their King. Tolkien based much of their culture and background on Anglo-Saxon tradition, and I just love it. It needs a methodical man of great wisdom and intelligence it needs a stagiest: it needs a new white wizard now that Saruman has changed his colours. So Middle-Earth needs a man (or Istari) with far sight that can unite the scattered forces of Rohan and manipulate events in order to ensure that the King does, indeed, return.

And Middle-Earth no longer needs such a figure, darkness is now on her doorstep it is no longer hidden. He was an unearther of dark secrets and mysteries. But he was also a great wonderer and a great quester. Gandalf the Grey was charming and quirky he was everybodyРІР‚в„ўs friend and advisor. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him. But we have One, mightier than they: the White Rider. РІР‚СљDo I not say truly, Gandalf,' said Aragorn at last, 'that you could go whithersoever you wished quicker than I? And this I also say: you are our captain and our banner.
