The Blue Wizards dissapeared just North of Mordor on a mission. We don't know of their fate, Tolkien apparently decided to have a little mystery about them.

The One Ring was an amplifier, I agree.

Where do you get that from- the "North of Mordor" bit? Everything that I've ever heard says that the Blue Wizards went East- in Rhûn, way east of Mordor, and we simply have no idea what happened to them. (Tolkien gives us a few "canonical" speculations, and fanfics abound, but you're correct that it is truly a mystery).

Rhun is North of Mordor, plus I have a copy of the Unfinished Tales.

Formy limps off, a broken & humiliated shadow of his former self...

No, Rhûn is East. It means it, to begin with, and secondly, the name "Rhûn" runs down the East side of the map. The land north of Mordor is Rhovannion, and it runs right up to the Sea of Rhûn. Rhûn, or East, is all the lands East of there.

There! It was all a feint on Formy's part - unbeknownst to Rhod Formy also owns Unfinished Tales!

HAs everyone read it????

Read what?

Rhun is North of Mordor. Or North-East if you want. No offence, but what next? Will you deny that Harad is South of Mordor?
