You may be right that both kingdoms need not have been intact. Perhaps just a pooling together of them as a united front would be enough and they could rebuild later. There'd probably be a greater watch on the lands with the extra users of the Palantir and they might not have been reluctant to use them as Eärnil II was due to the loss of one of them to the enemy.
