One in the tower of Elostirion on Emyn Beraid, two lost in the Icebay of Forochel, one in Orthanc, one in Minas Tirith, one lost in the waters of Anduin, one in Barad-dûr.

I fully agree with Pitchwife, I'm just pointing out here that since you have not specified that these must be the palantiri of M-e one could also add the Master-stone in the Tower of Avallone on Tol Eressea.

BIngo, Pitchwife, and good point, the might. Pitchwife's turn.

Thanks!

Wow, seriously, I don't know if this is too easy and I'm just too dumb to notice the obivous answer, or if it's that hard that I just don't know enough lore, but I cannot come up with any answer for this.

A small hint perhaps?

Hint: he's quite prominent, but his physical handicap is only mentioned once. In LotR.

Wow, Pitchwife, you never stop amazing me! Without the tip for LotR I still would be searching.

The answer is Thráin II, who was injured at the battle of Azanulbizar.

Quote:

None the less in the morning Thráin stood before them. He had one eye blinded beyond cure, and he was halt with a leg-wound; but he said: 'Good! We have the victory. Khazad-dûm is ours! ' ~ Appendix A of LotR, Durin's Folk

I'll have to dig through the books long and hard to find something matching this question!
