I spy

[Azrakhor Akallabeth]

Getting warmer. Fantastic guess, but no. Not Mitheithel. You are on the right track with stones. But it is specific thing of stone, and not a Palantir. As you said before think big!

[Azrakhor Akallabeth]

Perhaps if I bent the rules and gave a small clue? Don't Censure me if I take too much liberty, just boo me down...

I spy with Saurons Eye
An object grey and cold-
Not caverns deep,
nor vaulted Keep,
still, something new
yet old.

You're alowed to give any kind of clues you want.


Helm's Deep?

[Azrakhor Akallabeth]

"nor vaulted Keep"

Helms Deep falls under this. So, Helm's Deep- No.

[Galadriel55]

...Misty Mountains?

That was random.

I spy with Saurons Eye

Misty Mountains: No, and Too generic

"still, something new
yet old."

Old would cover the Misty Mountain Range but something new? Think of a thing newer than it's host object of origin. Here is another clue...

Beyond the tall
and frothy falls,
The Faithful's
northern lands-
not marked by gates
or fortress walls,
but stern majestic hands.

Even the least inquisitive of Hobbits could guess this one, now.

[Galadriel55]

I'd say the argonath, but they are near Gondor, not Arnor.

Unless the clue means to the north of the land, and then it makes more sense.
