He seems to have created his own fiefdom away from the world for his own reasons.
Gandalf was not tempted by the ring in the conventional sense, but by the fact that he would try to use its power for good, something it would not tolerate. If the consequences of such action would terrify Gandalf, I'm glad we never found out what they were. |
Good info! I just read through that part of the books again and kept thinking - "The way that guy keeps singing and stuff... he must be one of the higher ups!" (The world has been created through song after all...I think)
I was even entertaining the thought, that he might be Radagast... or not... it was just him being so close to nature and stuff that the idea just popped into my head...
