Remuniating on this, Tolkien layer described the Ithryn Luin by saying ‘Their task was to circumvent Sauron...’
I think if we stick to that core, we could introduce them in the First Age. Knowing Sauron goes tot eh East, as do they, their simultaneous arrivals and collision course (with the ‘fall’ of the Two Blue) could provide the narrative arc for Sauron next season.
All five were present at Cuivienen plus Melian.So they knew at last the east a little bit...
If the two arrived innthe second age it makes sense they circumvented Sauron in Mordor and maybe had dealings with Kamul and the other eight, one organising in Rhun,the other in Harad. Possibly Saurman was looking for them when he went on his trip to the east inmthe tnird age... did he ever find out about them? Who knows...
Btw. Do we need maps of East and South? I recently drew some updated sketches for possible future works..
