The Palantiri were Stones of Seeing that were able to communicate with eachother over great distances. They enabled both sight and conversation. Elendil brought 7 Palantiri to Middle-Earth and they were used by the Kingdom of Gondor to guard the empire. Sauron got his hands on the Palantir of Minas Ithil and used it to corrupt Saruman who had the Palantir of Orthanc and Denethor who had the Palantir of Minas Tirith.
