Palantir Lore - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Did Feanor craft the Palantiri? How could Sauron control others through his palantir? Did the Elves who gave them to Elendil know of their sometimes unsafe use? Why did the palantiri age prematurely those who used them? I welcome all who would like to discuss these topics and other related items.

I used the search function to find more information on the Palantiri and found some interesting discussions here, here, here, here, here, and here...

There's an entire chapter devoted to them in Unfinished Tales.
