The power that is Rivendell and Lorien however is explicitly stated as being the power of the rings and those that control them. It is Elrond (or Gandolf I don't remember exactly) who states that he (Elrond) made the flood. Even more to the point of it not being the powerfull who control the land but rather the rings they weild however is Galadrial's sadness in not being able to see Lothlorien in the summer or fall again since with the passing of the ring will come the passing of the forest as she knows it. The Eternal spring (or something to that effect) that is Lothlorien is directly tied to the rings of power. Bombadill on the other hand does not remake the land, he is the land. Older than even the earth, Bombadill may talk and control individual creatures, but he revells in the land as it is. Otherwise the old forest would be alot nicer pace than it is.Gandolf however is not the only powerfull wanderer. All the wizards but Sauruman are wanderers. It is Gandolf who is the only powerful wanderer who gets directly involved in the lives of the people.</blockquote>
