Birdland has just left Hobbiton.

It might be possible that the Palantiri could be used for future evil. It's said that two "seeing stones" remained in M-E in the Fourth Age. The Anor Stone, which was damaged by the suicide of Denethor, so it would only show his withered burning hands, and the Orthanc Stone, which was held by King Elessar (Strider).

But what about the stone that was in Barad-Dur? (Ithil Stone) History claims it was destroyed when Sauron's tower fell, but the Palantiri were made of very tough stuff, so there is speculation that it still survived.

As for Sauron surviving in some form, if he wasn't utterly destroyed and dispersed, then yes, he could rise again. It would probably take 1000s of years for this to happen, so he's probably due back - oh - right about...NOW!!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

News Flash: "A mysterious, crystaline orb, dating back thousands of years, and of an unknown origin, was stolen from it's glass case at the Smithsonian today..."
