[Chancellen the True]

I believe that Radagast would have had a bigger role in the events that afterwards took place, if he hadn't been tricked by Saruman. I think his spirits were destroyed by the deception and that he never forgave himself.

I also believe that Radagast was somewhat more powerfull and successfull than most people think. The Istari's main purpose was to push and motivate the peoples of Middle Earth to stand up and fight for themselves. He was different than Gandalf and Saruman in that he affected nature instead of people. If you look at it, he did have a relationship with most of the powers of nature. Maybee his unseen initial push to Treebeard, Beorn, Gwahir(sp?), ect. is what started them getting involved. These creatures/spirits are also very stubburn, making the job all the harder. If he hung in there, he may have made a considerable contribution. Who knows, maybee he could have motivated Tom Bombadil to action. Ah, it's nice to dream. In battle, his unrivaled summoning power may have made him more formadible than he seemed. Of course, this is a lot of speculation, but I believe there is a method to my madness (at least that's what I'm telling myself). Thanks.
