   IDHTBIFOMATM, but I seem to recall that Elendil (or Gil Galad?)   
   would look into this stone to see Numenor (and/or Tol Eressa).   
   Maybe it only showed him these places as they were before the   
   world was changed. Also, wasn't there some super dupa master stone   
   somewhere in the West (and I don't mean the one in Osgiliath)?   
   There's an essay somewhere on Palantiri that would probably tell.
