Gondorian Istari

The Istari are the five ancient Numenorian Magi who protect the Kingdom of Gondor. The Istari were created in ancient Atlantis by the Pantheon before the Pantheon was corupted, and for centuries protected the region of Gondor.

Early History
Main Article : The Pantheon

The Pantheon in their creation were designed to want to constantly improve the Empire of Numeron, and in one of their plans for improvement they attempted to create beings a level of power just below them, that could act as commanders, and gaurdians for the Empire.

In this ancient time their were hundreds of these creations that they called the Elur. The Elur built itself into a mighty council of the creations of the Pantheon, and for centuries they continued their assigned tasks with perfection. When The Pantheon fell to the power of the soul of Malekor, the Elur were some of the first to become corrupted. During this time one of the Pantheon sent 30 of the Elur, the only ones that were not corupted, and he sent them to Europe, to escape the coming madness.

Exodus and protection of Gondor
Main Article : Atlantis

When Atlantis was destroyed the Order that once at its peak had 1200 Elur in it, was now reduced to only 30. Each of the 30 devided themselves into smaller councils that would work to defend specific areas of the Empire.

Of these new groups one was the Istari, and they maintained control over Gondor. At this ancient time there were seven members of the Istari, but by the Downfall of the Numeron there number was reduced to five.
