This mystery/comedy fills a Movieverse gap: did Denethor have his very
own palantir and if so, what happened to it? The tale also illustrates
some of Tolkien's themes in his essay "The Palantir" in "Unfinished
Tales."
"Dead Steward's Gift" was begun for the 2007 Halloween challenge at
the LOTR GEN fic Yahoo Group.
