The '''''palantíri''''' or ''Seeing Stones'' were a means of communication created by the Elves. They were perfectly ball-shaped, black in colour, and looked like made from crystal or glass. Their size could range from only a foor in diameter to very lage ones that could not be carried. By looking into a ''palantír'' one could see faraway places, and "talk" to other people using another of the ''palantíri''.

Seven ''palantíri'' were brought to Middle-earth by Elendil when he fled the destruction of [[Númenor]]. These were put in the tower of Elostirion in the [[Emyn Beraid|Tower Hills]], the Tower of [[Amon Sûl]], the cities [[Annúminas]], [[Osgiliath]], [[Minas Ithil]], [[Minas Anor]], and the tower [[Orthanc]].

===Red Book of Westmarch===
The '''Red Book of Westmarch''' is a fictional book written by [[hobbit]]s, from which many of Tolkien's writings are supposedly "translated". Among many other things it also contains the stories of ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings''.
[[Bilbo Baggins]] began writing the story of his journey titled '''''There and Back Again''''', which is also part of the full title of the published ''The Hobbit''. The story of the War of the Ring and the events of ''The Lord of the Rings'' were begun by Bilbo and mostly written by [[Frodo Baggins]], titled '''''The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King'''''. Added were three volumes of '''''Translations from the Elvish, by B.B.'''''. The Red Book was given to [[Samwise Gamgee]], who added the events of the beginning of the Fourth Age, before passing it on to his daughter Elanor. The Red Book was also copied several times, kept by the Shire and the Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor.
