Many
treasures
and
great
heirlooms
of
virtue
and
wonder
the
Exiles
had
brought
from
Numenor
;
and
of
these
the
most
renowned
were
the
Seven
Stones
and
the
White
Tree
.
The
White
Tree
was
grown
from
the
fruit
of
Nimloth
the
Fair
that
stood
in
the
courts
of
the
Bang
at
Armenelos
in
Numenor
,
ere
Sauron
burned
it
;
and
Nimloth
was
in
its
turn
descended
from
the
Tree
of
Tirion
,
that
was
an
image
of
the
Eldest
of
Trees
,
White
Telperion
which
Yavanna
caused
to
grow
in
the
land
of
the
Valar
.
The
Tree
,
memorial
of
the
Eldar
and
of
the
light
of
Valinor
,
was
planted
in
Minas
Ithil
before
the
house
of
Isildur
,
since
he
it
was
that
had
saved
the
fruit
from
destruction
;
but
the
Stones
were
divided
.
Three
Elendil
took
,
and
his
sons
each
two
.
Those
of
Elendil
were
set
in
towers
upon
Emyn
Beraid
,
and
upon
Amon
Sul
,
and
in
the
city
of
Annuminas
.
But
those
of
his
sons
were
at
Minas
Ithil
and
Minas
Anor
,
and
at
Orthanc
and
in
Osgiliath
.
Now
these
Stones
had
this
virtue
that
those
who
looked
therein
might
perceive
in
them
things
far
off
,
whether
in
place
or
in
time
.
For
the
most
part
they
revealed
only
things
near
to
another
kindred
Stone
,
for
the
Stones
each
called
to
each
;
but
those
who
possessed
great
strength
of
will
and
of
mind
might
learn
to
direct
their
gaze
whither
they
would
.
Thus
the
Numenoreans
were
aware
of
many
things
that
their
enemies
wished
to
conceal
,
and
little
escaped
their
vigilance
in
the
days
of
their
might
.
It
is
said
that
the
towers
of
Emyn
Beraid
were
not
built
indeed
by
the
Exiles
of
Numenor
,
but
were
raised
by
Gilgalad
for
Elendil
,
his
friend
;
and
the
Seeing
Stone
of
Emyn
Beraid
was
set
in
Elostirion
,
the
tallest
of
the
towers
.
Thither
Elendil
would
repair
,
and
thence
he
would
gaze
out
over
the
sundering
seas
,
when
the
yearning
of
exile
was
upon
him
;
and
it
is
believed
that
thus
he
would
at
whiles
see
far
away
even
the
Tower
of
Avallone
upon
Eressea
,
where
the
Masterstone
abode
,
and
yet
abides
.
These
stones
were
gifts
of
the
Eldar
to
Amandil
,
father
of
Elendil
,
for
the
comfort
of
the
Faithful
of
Numenor
in
their
dark
days
,
when
the
Elves
might
come
no
longer
to
that
land
under
the
shadow
of
Sauron
.
They
were
called
the
Palantiri
,
those
that
watch
from
afar
;
but
all
those
that
were
brought
to
Middleearth
long
ago
were
lost
.
Thus
the
Exiles
of
Numenor
established
their
realms
in
Arnor
and
in
Gondor
;
but
ere
many
years
had
passed
it
became
manifest
that
their
enemy
,
Sauron
,
had
also
returned
.
He
came
in
secret
,
as
has
been
told
,
to
his
ancient
kingdom
of
Mordor
beyond
the
Ephel
Duath
,
the
Mountains
of
Shadow
,
and
that
country
marched
with
Gondor
upon
the
east
.
There
above
the
valley
of
Gorgoroth
was
built
his
fortress
vast
and
strong
,
Barad
-
dur
,
the
Dark
Tower
;
and
there
was
a
fiery
mountain
in
that
land
that
the
Elves
named
Orodruin
.
Indeed
for
that
reason
Sauron
had
set
there
his
dwelling
long
before
,
for
he
used
the
fire
that
welled
there
from
the
heart
of
the
earth
in
his
sorceries
and
in
his
forging
;
and
in
the
midst
of
the
Land
of
Mordor
he
had
fashioned
the
Ruling
Ring
.
There
now
he
brooded
in
the
dark
,
until
he
had
wrought
for
himself
a
new
shape
;
and
it
was
terrible
,
for
his
fair
semblance
had
departed
for
ever
when
he
was
cast
into
the
abyss
at
the
drowning
of
Numenor
.
He
took
up
again
the
great
Ring
and
clothed
himself
in
power
;
and
the
malice
of
the
Eye
of
Sauron
few
even
of
the
great
among
Elves
and
Men
could
endure
.
Now
Sauron
prepared
war
against
the
Eldar
and
the
Men
of
Westernesse
,
and
the
fires
of
the
Mountain
were
wakened
again
.
Wherefore
seeing
the
smoke
of
Orodruin
from
afar
,
and
perceiving
that
Sauron
had
returned
,
the
Numenoreans
named
that
mountain
anew
Amon
Amarth
,
which
is
Mount
Doom
.
And
Sauron
gathered
to
him
great
strength
of
his
servants
out
of
the
east
and
the
south
;
and
among
them
were
not
a
few
of
the
high
race
of
Numenor
.
For
in
the
days
of
the
sojourn
of
Sauron
in
that
land
the
hearts
of
well
nigh
all
its
people
had
been
turned
towards
darkness
.
Therefore
many
of
those
who
sailed
east
in
that
time
and
made
fortresses
and
dwellings
upon
the
coasts
were
already
bent
to
his
will
,
and
they
served
him
still
gladly
in
Middle
-
earth
.
But
because
of
the
power
of
Gil
-
galad
these
renegades
,
lords
both
mighty
and
evil
,
for
the
most
part
took
up
their
abodes
in
the
southlands
far
away
;
yet
two
there
were
,
Herumor
and
Fuinur
,
who
rose
to
power
among
the
Haradrim
,
a
great
and
cruel
people
that
dwelt
in
the
wide
lands
south
of
Mordor
beyond
the
mouths
of
Anduin
.
When
therefore
Sauron
saw
his
time
he
came
with
great
force
against
the
new
realm
of
Gondor
,
and
he
took
Minas
Ithil
,
and
he
destroyed
the
White
Tree
of
Isildur
that
grew
there
.
But
Isildur
escaped
,
and
taking
with
him
a
seedling
of
the
Tree
he
went
with
his
wife
and
his
sons
by
ship
down
the
River
,
and
they
sailed
from
the
mouths
of
Anduin
seeking
Elendil
.
Meanwhile
Anarion
held
Osgiliath
against
the
Enemy
,
and
for
that
time
drove
him
back
to
the
mountains
;
but
Sauron
gathered
his
strength
again
,
and
Anarion
knew
that
unless
help
should
come
his
kingdom
would
not
long
stand
.
Now
Elendil
and
Gil
-
galad
took
counsel
together
,
for
they
perceived
that
Sauron
would
grow
too
strong
and
would
overcome
all
his
enemies
one
by
one
,
if
they
did
not
unite
against
him
.
Therefore
they
made
that
League
which
is
called
the
Last
Alliance
,
and
they
marched
east
into
Middle
-
earth
gathering
a
great
host
of
Elves
and
Men
;
and
they
halted
for
a
while
at
Imladris
.
