You're right. They went further east and stayed there.

Though rumour has it that they returned to the West, but we can only assume not much is written about the Blue Wizards.

I read that they went east with Saruman who returned without them.

What success they [Alatar and Pallando] had I do not know; but I fear they failed, as Saruman did, though doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were the founders or beginners of secret cults and 'magic' traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron.'

Yes that is true, though I haven't read Letters of JRR T. myself, but at another forum they talked about the Blue Istari quite often and you tend to pick things up

Ok here a question -Gwaihir the Windlord carries Gandalf 4 times during the Hobbit and LOTR series. (I'm POSITIVE it's four, I read thru and counted)

In order, where were they? (From ... to ...)

No one has answered this? Ok, I'm trying to think of this off the top of my head, so here goes:

-In The Hobbit he rescues Gandalf, Biblo, and the dwarves from the wargs.
-In LOTR he first rescues Gandalf from Orthanc, then he carried him, once he was reborn, from the peaks above Moria, then he bore him to find Sam and Frodo on Mt. Doom...

Correct?
