Gandalf StormCrow

[WallRocker]

Okay, does anyone know what the old Theodyn King meant when he called Gandalf 'StormCrow'? I'm guessing it's in the books somewhere, bus I haven't read TTT again since the movie, and I've forgotten a lot of the book.:(

It is one of Gandalf's many names. He is also known in various places as Gandalf Greyhame, Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim, and Olorin. Gandalf Stormcrow is just a name given to him by Theoden of Rohan.

Perhaps he was called Stormcrow because he was always bearing bad news.

Yes, that was the reason given in the books.

Thanks. I guess I'm going to have to go and read the books again. *sigh of happiness*

I agree. I think it's because he is seen as a bearer of bad tidings.
