I asked AI what Gandal'f Daily Routine might be for all the aspiring wizards out there. Here's what it came up with...
Here's what I imagine Gandalf's daily routine might look like:
Dawn:
- Wakes at first light
- Meditates while smoking Old Toby pipe-weed
- Communes with eagles or other creatures about news across Middle-earth
- Studies ancient texts or maps
Morning:
- Light breakfast of lembas bread or whatever his hosts provide
- Tends to Shadowfax if traveling together
- Walks for hours, observing the land and its peoples
- Stops in villages to gather news and watch for signs of darkness
Afternoon:
- Holds counsel with elves, wizards, or local leaders
- Studies lore in various libraries
- Practices spells and magical crafts
- Helps common folk with their troubles when needed
Evening:
- Enjoys a hearty meal (especially if visiting hobbits)
- Tells tales and shares wisdom around the fire
- Creates magical fireworks if the occasion calls for it
- Plans journeys and contemplates the growing shadow
Night:
- Gazes at the stars while smoking his pipe
- Communicates with Elrond or Galadriel through magical means
- Rests lightly, always alert for danger
- Often continues studying ancient prophecies by candlelight
Of course, this would vary greatly depending on whether he's:
- Traveling on urgent business
- Staying in Rivendell or other havens
- Investigating threats
- Fighting darkness directly
- Simply wandering as a gray pilgrim
I always imagined him in a magical cottage somewhere, but I guess Gandalf the Grey is homeless?
