The '''Palantír''' is a dangerous seeing stone, part of a network of them, and two of them are each in part responsible for the madness of Saruman and Denethor. In this game, Palantír is an [[item class]], and therefore a [[loaded keyword]], albeit an unusual one. It only appears on three [[artifact]] cards, all of which have the same [[unique]] persona: "The Palantír of Orthanc". However, the keyword is totally meaningless. Item class keywords only prevent characters from [[bear]]ing multiple cards with the same item class, but only one of the three can be borne by a character, they all have the same unique title anyway, and no cards mention the Palantír item class by name. | The '''Palantír''' is a dangerous seeing stone, part of a network of them, and two of them are each in part responsible for the madness of Saruman and Denethor.

Furthermore, these cards are unusual in that they're the only [[Shadow Alignment|Shadow]] and [[Free Peoples]] cards in the entire game that share a single persona. If the Free Peoples player plays {{Card|The Palantir of Orthanc, Recovered Seeing Stone}}, that discards {{Card|The Palantir of Orthanc}} or {{Card|The Palantir of Orthanc, Seventh Seeing-stone}} from play and prevents them from being played again as long as Recovered Seeing Stone remains in play | Furthermore, these cards are unusual in that they're the only [[Shadow Alignment|Shadow]] and [[Free Peoples]] cards in the entire game that share a single persona.

Further confusing things, there's a fourth card representing the same orb, {{Card|Seeing Stone of Orthanc}}. However, this card does not have the Palantír keyword, nor does it have the same unique persona, so it's possible to have it in play at the same time as any of the three versions of the Palantír of Orthanc. | Further confusing things, there's a fourth card representing the same orb, {{Card|Seeing Stone of Orthanc}}.
