Palantiri

[Adanadhel]

More useless knowledge form a topic often discussed... but it is one of my favorites.

The question is not where were they, but where are they.

1. Orthanc Stone - In Minas Tirith, with Aragorn.
2. Arnor Stone - In Minas Tirith, in the hands of Denethor in the tomb of the stewards.
3. Ithil Stone - Destroyed? Was in Barad Dur with Saruron... but who knows.
4. & 5. Amon Sul & Annuminas Stones - Lost at sea north of the Grey Havens.
6. Osgiliath Stone - Lost in the Anduin in the kinstrife wars.
7. Tower Hills Stone - Taken back to The Undying Lands by Gandalf and Co. (IMO, It should have been given to Aragorn, since it was rightfully his, but it was only good for looking toward the Undying lands so not such a big loss... but I'm sure Arwen would have liked it to keep in touch with family.)

The stones are one of my favorite topics in Tolkien. (Along with the Elessar and the forging of the rings..........)
