Tower Hills

Excellent quote reference. It's interesting that men lived not only East but perhaps West of the Shire at the time it was inhabited by the Hobbits.

I think they should reimburse Aragorn for that Palantir! Hey wait a minute, does this mean that Arwen can borrow her husband's Palantir and make long distance calls to dad?

As soon as the Númenóreans started to explore the seas and coasts that were allowed to them they also sailed about Middle-earth(~S.A: 600). And when they set foot on those west-coasts they found them inhabited by men. Those had grown weak and fearful during the years under the shadow and were - at first - tought many things by the Númenóreans. And lateron the Númenoreans started to found settlements and establish dominions on Middle-Earth (~S.A:1800).

hi guys!

Anybody remember a reference to the Palantir being put in the tower so that Elendil could look back west and perhaps see Tol-Eressa?

And the peak of Meneltarma was still above the sea

Welcome Eonwe. You speak truth and it is from the Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, "...It is said that the towers of Emyn Beraid were not built indeed by the Exiles of Numenor, but were raised by Gil-galad 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 Master-stone still abode, and yet abides."

Surely the 'sons of Arvedui' retreated to the Grey Havens, and being elf-friends there may have been some who lingered there with the elves as they did at Rivendell. Surely the womenfolk and the young did while the Rangers rode about.

Good answeres here!
