Palantír of Elostirion

(1/14) > >>

CragLord:
I am starting this topic to share ideas and find best solution for appearance of "Palantír of Elostirion" in game.
What we know about "Palantír of Elostirion"?

From Tolkien Gateway:
It was one of seven Seeing Stones brought by Elendil from Númenor. It was stored in the tower Elostirion on the Emyn Beraid by Elendil, and in later years was guarded by Círdan and the Elves of Lindon. The stone was aligned westwards towards the Master-stone in the Tower of Avallonë, along the length of the Straight Road, because of this, it could not communicate with the other six of Middle-earth. Only Elendil was able to use it to look west across the Sea and see the Undying Lands. Elendil also tried to see the fallen Númenor with the stone but failed. Even after the fall of Arnor, Wandering Companies of Elves made pilgrimages to visit the Towers and see the Stone, in order to catch a glimpse of Varda. One such company, led by Gildor Inglorion just returning from Elostirion, was encountered by Frodo, Sam and Pippin on September 24, T.A. 3018.
It remained in its tower until the end of the Third Age; it was then taken back into the West aboard the White Ship.
Different representations of this palantir:


Currently in game, on picture of "Palantír of Elostirion"  is Saruman's hand over palantír (While he is communicating with Sauron), and this need to be changed.
Current look in game:

Change that with some neutral image of palantír, image that associate on western shores of Aman,(This palantír could only be used to watch into the West, and it was later delivered by Cídran into Aman, where it remains.), some image like:

That is image of palantír of Osgiliath, so I propose some similar look. :)
Also there is image of Cirdran's ability "Into the West". This picture is really nice, and I my opinion it's integration inside palantir look/image is perfect from Lore aspects. But previous suggestion is maybe better because of diversity. (Same picture for 2 different things in faction.)

Some images which could be nicely integrated into palantir look:




Any similar ideas? What do you think about this?

TiberiusOgden:
I agree. Why not? It's only "cosmetic change" which is more suitable ... ;)

CragLord:
Yes, it's only "cosmetic change".  ;)
Presume there will be some work in photoshop, but don't think it's hard or very long work.  :)

Tienety:
I like this idea. 8-)

Bogdan Hmel:
Great idea!
