The Palantír of Elostirion, also known as the Elendil Stone was one of the Palantíri brought by the Faithful from Númenor.
The stone was aligned westwards towards the Master-stone in the Tower of Avallonë, along the length of the Straight Road; because of this, it could not communicate with the other six of Middle-earth. Only Elendil was able to use it to look west across the Sea and see the Undying Lands;[1] Elendil also tried to see the fallen Númenor with the stone but failed.[source?]
It was stored in the tower Elostirion and after Elendil's death the Elves took it under their care and no Man used it again.[2]
Even after the fall of Arnor, Wandering Companies of Elves made pilgrimages to visit the Towers and see the Stone, in order to catch a glimpse of Varda. One such company, led by Gildor Inglorion just returning from Elostirion, was encountered by Frodo, Sam and Pippin on September 24, T.A. 3018.[3]
It remained in its tower until the end of the Third Age; it was then taken back into the West aboard the White Ship.[4]
