The names Pallando (which seems to mean "far wanderer") and Alatar are in the notes following "The Istari" in the Unfinished Tales. I had thought that Tolkien named which of the Valar each of the five chiefs of the Istari served as emissaries, or mentees (reciprocal of "mentor") of. I can find Olorin as form Lorien and Nessa, Curunir from Aule, and Radagast from Yavanna, but from whom come the blue? Anybody know?
