Re: Maiar
Fingolfin

Hey Danny, just wanted to complete the list of Maiar for you. The 'good' Maiar mentioned in Tolkien's writings are: Ilmare (Varda's handmaid), Eonwe (Manwe's herald and the most powerful Maia), Osse and Uinen, (Ulmo's vassals) Melian (Elu's wife), Arien (the sun's pilot), Tilion (the moon's pilot), Olorin (Gandalf), Curunir (Saruman), Radagast, and the two Blue Istari.
The 'bad' Maiar are Sauron (originally a Maia of Aule but corrupted by Melkor), the Balrogs, and Ungoliant (the spider).

Hope I have helped,

Fingolfin
