Some of Aragorn's adventures before LotR.
The culture of the southeastern lands of Middle Earth would be a romantic blend of various southwest Asian cultures. Tap GURPS: Arabian Nights and GURPS:Castle Falkenstein: Ottoman Empire for the details. From what I've heard of Tolkien's notes the Blue Wizards count as more misdirected than evil. Which would keep you away from standard evil wizard tropes.
