When Pippin retreived the Palantir after Wormtongue threw it from Orthanc, it is described as having a glowing red center. He later steals it from Gandalf and looks into it and it again glows red. Was it glowing red because Sauron was using his Palantir to contact Saruman? Was Pippin drawn to it because Sauron was attempting to summon Saruman or anyone at the other end or was it the Palantir's nature which compelled him to look in it?

were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000004>Mithadan </A> at: 11/30/00 9:20:47 am
