Gandalf tried to protect everyone. He considered himself the steward of Middle-earth. Pippin in particular needed his help after looking in the palantir of Orthanc.

Can I have a flying mount on Lord of the Rings Online?
Lord of the Rings Online follows Lore that was written many many years ago by J.R.R Tolkien. Flying mounts break this lore, and there are not any flying mounts in-game. At the time of writing, Developers have not even as much as hinted at the release of flying mounts even in the far future.Many people complain about the fact that in both the movies and the books, an Eagle comes and retrieves Gandalf from Orthanc. They automatically assume that this is a tame eagle, but in fact it is not. Gwaihir (the Eagle) is a King among Eagles, and a long-time friend of Gandalf's who heard of the wizard's trouble and rescued him.

What is a 'fool of a took'?
A fool of a took is an insult that the wizard Gandalf uses twice the Lord of the Rings triology: once when Peregrin (Pippin) Took idly tossed a stone into a deep well in the dwarf-hewn caverns of Moria, and again, in the form "tom-fool of a took" after Pippin gazes into the Orthanc panlantir after it was hurled to the ground by Grima, the troubled servant of Gandalf's wizard colleague Sauruman. The Tooks are a family of hobbits that are regarded as being dimwitted. When Gandalf calls Pippin a "fool of a Took" he's saying in effect that Pippin is living up (or down, in this case!) to his familiy's reputation. // This has become one of the most popular quotes from the Lord of the Ring books, as a quick Google search can verify. NOTE: These are a couple of the *very* few times that Gandalf loses his temper with close friends: normally he is extremely kind-hearted and supportive - and not given to being quick tempered!! It should be noted however, that he never holds a grudge: he comforts and protects Pippin after his terrible encounter with Sauron via the seeing-stone, and in the battle of Minas Tirith defends Pippin even at risk of his own life.
Which wizard lives in the black tower?

What are the names of the places in the Lord of the Rings the fellowship of the rings?
The first tower is Barad-dur, the great fortress in Mordor where Sauron dwelt. When, in the movies, we see the "Eye of Sauron", the tower it is on is Barad-dur. The other tower referred to is Orthanc, in Isengard, where Saruman the White lived. The second book takes its title from these, since Sauron and Saruman are the bad guys. It must be noted that Saruman is much, much less powerful than Sauron, and is defeated by the end of the second book. The two towers that are most important in the book the two towers are Orthanc and the Hornberg. Orthanc is were Saruman dwelt. The Hornberg is the tower in Helms deep. Though it's not clear exactly what the "Two Towers" were but it is said that "The Vala Aulë forged great towers, Helcar in the furthest north, and Ringil in the deepest south. Illuin was set upon Helcar and Ormal upon Ringil"
