Ithil-stone : The palant�r that stood in Isildur's ancient fortress of Minas Ithil.It was captured by the Nazg�l in the mid-Third Age and was used by Sauron to entrap Saruman and Denethor during the War of the Ring.
Orthanc-stone : One of the seven palant�ri or Seeing-stones brought to Middle-earth by Elendil and kept in the ancient stronghold of Orthanc.It was discovered there by Saruman when he took Isengard as his base and used by him in his treacherous dealings with Sauron.
Palant�ri : The Stones of Seeing;powerful crystalline globes that enabled their users to witness events and communicate with one another over great distances.Seven of these were brought to Middle-earth by Elendil.
Phial of Galadriel : The glittering phial that was Galadriel's gift to Frodo Baggins in L�rien and which later helped him to escape from Shelob's Lair on the borders of Mordor.
Seeing-stones : The powerful orbs known as the palant�ri made in ancient days by the Elves in Aman and indeed said to have been the work of F�anor himself.In appearance they were dark,perfectly smooth globes of various capabilities and sizes;some were small and portable,others so huge that they could not be lifted by a Man.The Elves gave certain of these stones to the N�men�reans and seven of these N�men�rean stones were rescued from the Downfall of that island by Elendil and his sons.So these seven were brought to Middle-earth and the D�nedain set them up at distant points in their lands: at Amon S�l,Elostirion and Ann�minas in the north and at Osgiliath, Orthanc,Minas Anor and Minas Ithil in the south.The chief stone of the north was that of Amon S�l,lost with Arvedui in the cold northern seas.The greatest of the southern stones stood beneath the Dome of Stars in Osgiliath and was lost during the Kin-strife.During the Third Age,three of the stones were known to have been lost (Arvedui also had the Stone of Ann�minas with him when he was lost at sea).The Ithil-stone was captured by Sauron and almost certainly destroyed in the Downfall of Barad-d�r and the palant�r of Elostirion in the Tower Hills was taken back into the West on the Ring-bearers' White Ship.At the beginning of the Fourth Age,then,there were just two Seeing-stones left in Middle-earth,the Anor-stone and the Orthanc-stone.The Seeing-stones of Middle-earth were not the only palant�ri to exist.Many remained with the Elves in Aman,including the so-called Master-stone held in the Tower of Avall�n� on Tol Eress�a.Indeed,it was said that,before the stone was removed from the Tower Hills,it could be used to look along the Straight Road to the Undying Lands themselves.
Seven Stones : The Palant�ri,the seven Seeing-stones rescued from the wreck of N�menor and brought to Middle-earth by Elendil and his sons.
Star-glass : More commonly called the Phial of Galadriel,the Star-glass was Galadriel's parting gift to Frodo Baggins when the Company of the Ring departed from L�rien.In appearance,it was a globe of crystal that held a shimmering fragment of the light of the evening star.
Stone of Osgiliath : The greatest of the seven palant�ri of Middle-earth was the Stone that stood in Osgiliath,the ancient capital of Gondor.For 1,500 years or more,it was held beneath the Dome of Stars that gave the city its name.While most of the palant�ri were small and portable,the Stone of Osgiliath was much larger and could not be lifted by a Man.The greatest of the Seeing-stones was also the first to be lost.During the early reign of Eldacar,a rebellion arose that came to be known as the Kin-strife.During this civil war,the city of Osgiliath was besieged and burned by the rebels and the Stone was lost in the waters of the River Anduin.
Stones of Seeing : A name of the palant�ri,the seven stones brought out of the destruction of N�menor by Elendil and his sons.
