But Gandalf's mind was at the same time earnestly busy with the stones, considering the bearings of the revelation at Dol Baran upon many things that he had observed and pondered.
such as the wide knowledge of events far away possessed by Denethor, and his appearance of premature old age, first observable when he was not much above 60 years old, although he belonged to a race and family that still normally had longer lives than other men.
Undoubtedly, Gandalf's haste to reach Minas Tirith, in addition to the urgency of the time and the imminence of war, was quickened by his sudden fear that Denethor also had made use of a palantir, the Anor Stone, and his desire to judge what effect this had had on him.
Whether in the crucial test of desperate war, it would not prove that he, like Saruman, was no longer to be trusted and might surrender to Mordor.
Gandalf's dealings with Denethor on arrival in Minas Tirith and in the following days, and all things that they are reported to have said to one another, must be viewed in the light of this doubt in Gandalf's mind.
This is great.
That's right.
And still, even though Gandalf gathered a lot of intel for the council, it was all about the ring.
And given the risk, of course, that makes sense.
I mean, that's where their focus was.
That's what they're there for, right?
Yeah.
They're here for that.
But it means that he didn't study anything about the stones, unlike Sauron.
So the council just wasn't aware of the possibilities.
Right.
If only they'd had a stone that could help them see.
I know, isn't it?
Could there have been an eighth one?
It might've been helpful.
