Background
Palantirs can be used to communicate across both Space and Time
There are believed to be 9 Palantirs.
Palantirs were created by Lastar to control the Pentagram Gates (not the natural portals) and lock them to their host dwarrowdelfs. Some of the Palantirs were formed using material from the natural portals.
Every Palantir thus has a natural planar alignment but this is not immediately obvious.
It was the act of removing the Palantirs from their host dwarrodelfs that caused the gates to become unlocked
Current ownership of Palantirs:
1 - Astral (Maedus) - Orcus (taken from Fremar the Norseman when Gos fell?)
2 - Inwe
3 - Earth (Aarda) - Demogorgon
4 - Prime/Control - Gwendolyn had one when she fled Sutur - where is it now (need to ask her!)?
5 - Perion?
6 - Yishmay
7 - Ichsoos
8 - Lord Marin (Morgul en route to Maedus - did we reclaim it?)
9 - Lan Zi Bao (was Balfor's? Found by us in Olga)
Fremar (Norseman) had a palantir (from Maedus - now with Orcus?) and used it to speak with Perion.
Perion who also had one (Delivered to Gos by Bavarik himself) - see above re Fremar
Rantor/Tuar Chan had one but we took it
Yishmay has one (that we gave her)
Planar Alignment
Lastar set up his pentagrams after the swap between fire and water the Drow had brought about; the palantirs should match the original pentagrams:
Air - Emras; Zem (living in Minas Emras) receives the blue Ring of Air.
Earth - Aarda; Hamar (living in Minas Aarda) receives the green Ring of Earth.
Fire - Tiris; Dor (living in Minas Tiris) receives the indigo Ring of Water.
Water - Morgul; Ishtur (living in Minas Morgul) receives the red Ring of Fire.
Astral - Maedus
Ethereal - Olga
Negative - Zundar
Positive - Blaven's Pool
Sutur - Control/Prime
Some relevant history
