Palintir? Weren’t they created by Feanor? One wonders how the faithful were able to smuggle them out of Numnenor.

Yes, Palantir from Lord of the Rings was that crystal-ball thingy that allowed the user to see far-off things.

A palantír (sometimes translated as "Seeing Stone" but literally meaning "Farsighted" or "One that Sees from Afar"; cf. English television) is a spherical stone that functions somewhat like a crystal ball.

Good catch...
