The Master-stone was the most powerful of the palantíri, and the only one to never have travelled to Middle-earth.
History[]
The Master-stone was made at an unknown time by the Ñoldorin prince Fëanor while he was still in Aman.[1][2] Its exact location during the rest of the Years of the Trees of the First Age is untold. The stone is only mentioned in the history of the Dúnedain in the time of Elendil's rule of the exile kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor in Middle-earth after the Fall of Númenor, as being in the Tower of Avallónë on Tol Eressëa in the Undying Lands. It is recorded that Elendil, while using the palantír of Elostirion to gaze into the west, was able to see the Tower of Avallónë where the Master-stone was kept.[3][4]
