Dates of death of Alatar and Pallando
What's your source for the dates (years) of Alatar's and Pallando's deaths? --Earendilyon 16:49, 4 September 2006 (EDT)
- It says on their articles that they joined Saruman on his journey into the East. This is most likely where he was corrupted by Sauron and chances are Alatar and Pallando didn't cooperate and were executed. It is impossible for this to have not occured sometime before III 3019.

- I regard that as conjecture on your part. I don't think the Professor ever wrote anything about their lot/doom in the East, whether or not they were killed or corrupted. I certainly don't think Saruman was already corrupted by Sauron when in the East (no direct contact between the two before Saruman got hold of a Palantir), let alone that Saruman (or Sauron?) "executed" the two Blue Wizards. There's at least no evidence for that in JRRT's writings, as far as I can tell. --Earendilyon 17:02, 4 September 2006 (EDT)
