Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar · 12-17-2003, 06:12 PM

In response to the previous post, I am almost sure that Gandalf was not aware that he was going to become gandalf the white. The way I see it, he did not have, in his 'gandalf the grey' body, all of the knowledge and power that he had in the west as Olorin. Also, I am not sure exactly how he became gandalf the white (I have not read HoME), but he did not bring it about with his own power, so he could not really have known about it. Plus, he did not really have any communications with the west, so there was no way he could have found out, after he came to ME.
What gandalf was probably trying to say to the company was something like, "get out of here, before you die, too!!!'
