Though Tolkien never said much regarding the Blues, he did write in a letter that they had probably failed their task. However, in Unfinished Tales (haven't actually read it, but I have looked on various sources) it states rather on the contrary that both these wizards had succeeded in weakening Sauron's power in the east. Unfinished Tales was more recent than the letter, and means that Tolkien probably had changed his mind in this regard, and hence, both wizards would have been good-guys. I never said that Pallando became evil, they both assisted in weakening Sauron's forces. Pallando with Xeldor, and Alatar with the Free Easterlings.

AlatarOfGram, they did not make magic cults as in the Unfinished Tales Tolkien changed their fate. he did? huh the more you know.

i thuogh they started cults of magic Originally but Tolkien changed their fate in the Unfinished Tales.

Yes but remember as of the lord of the rings that's what we thought they were and since that is are time period it overrules some of the unfinished tales.
