[edit] The Emyn Beraid west of the Shire

A name for the Emyn Beraid, the hills west of the Shire, home of three ancient Elf-towers. The tallest of these held the Elendil Stone, the last of the palantíri of the North.

[edit] Footnotes

1

The towers were said to have been built by Gil-galad for his friend Elendil. The tallest of these was built to hold one of the palantíri of the North-kingdom. They must therefore have been raised after Elendil and his sons had settled in Middle-earth, and after the division of the Seeing-stones had been agreed upon, so II 3320 is the earliest possible date.
