I also wonder, though, that inherited authority has got to be pretty broad.
I mean, right now it only applies to the stewards and to the stewards' immediate heir.
But during the time of the kings, remember, we read that the kings didn't really use them.
There were people who were essentially the stewards of the palantirs.
They were the attendees.
They sat there.
Their job was to monitor the stones.
They would have to be operating under inherited authority.
Which is so interesting because how would the stone know that?
That's what I'm wondering, yeah.
Like, how does it, do I have to introduce the deputy?
Do I say, hello, my name is King, you know, whatever, whichever one I'm, and this is my deputy so-and-so, go ahead and put your hand on it.
You know, so it's like the two hands to launch a nuclear missile type of deal.
It's silly to think about that in some sort of mechanical sense.
But it is weird.
How would the stone know this?
These are more tool and less sentient than things like the ring.
or even the other three rings, but let alone the one ring.
So how do they work?
We don't know, but it's interesting to think about.
