Here he learned the stories of the people who had come to the Elven Sanctuary for peace and council. Once Frodo had healed, he was given the chance to wander around Rivendell. The two wizards fought each other, however Gandalf was captured until Gwaihir arrived and allowed him to escape. There, he discovered that Saruman had made contact with Sauron with the Palantir of Isengard, and that he was building up his own power to work with the Dark Lord, while secretly waiting for an opportunity to overthrow him. While Frodo traveled across Eriador, Gandalf the Grey went to Orthanc to seek the council of Saruman, the head of the Istari and the leader of the White Council.
