The day when Isengard tour wasn't that bad |
Welcome to Isengard and the tower of Orthanc! Home of the white wizard, bane of Fangorn and the breeder of Uruk-hai.
If you've read the novel or at least seen the movie, you might realize that Isengard wasn't a den of foul creatures as it is now. When Saruman of many colours was called the white wizard, when he was still wise, Isengard was baeutiful place to look upon.

Isengard and the Tower of Orthanc |
After Saruman's betrayal, his lust for power turned his home into a house of flame and smoke. But if you see it in diferent perspective, Saruman is not an enemy but a pioneer of technology.
Saruman wanted to industrialize Middle-earth and he thought the time of daydreaming and past-dwelling is over. He was a revolutionist and technology leader. Although, Middle-earth wasn't ready for such rapid advancement, thus resistance was greater than he knew, which lead to his failure.

Saruman of many colour, perhaps he was a pioneer after all |
If he kept his plan until 4th age, when land is at peace, people might actually greet his idea. But that's just my thought. White hand's revolution was short-ended and it was crushed under the hooves of Rohirrim horses.
