Introduction

hough warriors may brave fierce battle, rogues amass precious trea-
sure, and nobles achieve fantastic glory, loremasters and magicians
lie closest of all these to the heart and soul of Middle-earth. It is the
business of these, the learned orders, to comprehend the rich layers
of tradition, custom, and history that characterise Middle-earth. They under-
stand most fully what lore the tides of time and calamity have left untouched,
and they feel the keenest pangs over what has been lost to those tides. They
know better than anyone else what it means to live in Middle-earth.
‘For not in doing or contriving . . . can
I avail; but only in knowing what was
and is, and in part also what shall be.’
— Galadriel, The Fellowship
of the Ring
And yet, it is easy to overlook
them. Magic is uncertain and subtle in
its workings. Lore-craft seems a poor
weapon, compared to swords of steel,
to wield against the Enemy. What
have learned characters to offer? But
only the foolish dismiss magicians
and loremasters, for those who com-
mand the power of spellcraft may
turn the tides of battle or undo the
most baneful curses. And in Middle-
earth, all manner of knowledge—even
lore from the distant past written
in languages no longer spoken—may
unlock mysteries of the present. The
virtue of magicians and loremasters
lies not in doing or contriving, but in
knowing. That is a greater virtue than
many imagine, for it is easier than
doubters reckon to translate knowl-
edge into power.

‘I fancy now that she could do some
wonderful things, if she had a
mind. I’d dearly love to see some
Elf-magic, Mr. Frodo!’
