The [[Exiles of Númenor]] built the [[Tower of Orthanc]] on what were then the northern borders of the realm of [[Gondor]], and set the palantír in the unbreachable fortress. As the [[Third Age]] wore on, the line of Kings came to an end, and the [[Rohirrim]] came to dwell in the lands south of Orthanc, so that in the last years of the Age, the remote Stone of Orthanc was all but forgotten by the [[Stewards of Gondor]]. The [[Wizards\|Wizard]] [[Saruman]] had not forgotten the Stone, though, and when he took over the stewardship of Orthanc a great part of his reason was the hope that the Stone would still be held there.	+	The '''Stone of Orthanc''' was one of the seven [[palantíri]] brought to [[Middle-earth]] by [[Elendil]] and his sons at the end of the [[Second Age]].
