I kekahi manawa ma kahi o 1930, ua hoʻomaka ʻo JRR Tolkien i ka hana holoʻokoʻa Lord of the Rings ma ka haʻi ʻana i kāna mau keiki i nā moʻolelo e pili ana i kahi ʻano liʻiliʻi āna i kapa ai ʻo "The Hobbit." Ua moeʻuhane ʻo ia i ka honua o ka Hobbit mai kona wā kamaliʻi. I ka hana ʻana pēlā, ua haku ʻo Tolkien i ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa "Fantasy Adventure with Elves and Dwarves" ma ka lima hoʻokahi.
Ua hāʻawi pū ʻo ia i ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻenehana kelepona hālāwai kūkā o nā manawa āpau, ʻo Palantíri, a i ʻole ʻike ʻana i nā Pōhaku o Númenor. ʻO kēia nā pūʻulu o nā pōpō aniani 7 hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka hālāwai wikiō mai Eressëa a hiki i ka Honua Waena.
I kēia mau lā hope loa, ua nalowale nā pōhaku, ua holo nā Elves i ke Komohana, a ʻo ka "poʻe liʻiliʻi" he ʻūlū wale nō i ka pā. I kēia lā hiki iā mākou ke koho i kā mākou mau kelepona mai kā mākou "ʻeke" a me ka hālāwai wikiō me ʻekolu poʻe i hoʻolaha ʻia ma ʻekolu mau ʻāina no ka manuahi.
Akā inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ke koho, ʻo wai ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi: he kelepona ʻaha kūkā, a i ʻole he ʻike Pōhaku o Númenor?
Ua lanakila maoli ka Palantíri kumu ʻoluʻolu. ʻAʻole hiki ke luku ʻia lākou. Ua hana ʻia lākou ma nā ʻāina Undying e Fëanor ponoʻī, ma ke ʻano he pumehana no nā Silmarils, ma mua o ka hāʻule ʻana o Númenor ma lalo o nā nalu.
A ʻehiku wale nō lākou.
ʻO kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ko lākou wahi nāwaliwali. No ke kiʻi ʻana iā ʻoe iho i ʻIke Pōhaku o Númenor, pono ʻoe e pili i ka laina o nā aliʻi hapa-elven, a i ʻole e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā Ki o Orthanc a i ʻole kekahi wahi like. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa, pono nā mea a pau e hoʻonohonoho i kahi Paʻi Pūnaewele he polokalamu kelepona, a loaʻa i kēlā me kēia kanaka kekahi o ia mau mea. Kuhikuhi i ka teleconferencing.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, he mea koʻikoʻi ka maikaʻi o ke kani i ke kamaʻilio ʻana, a ʻo ka ʻenehana haʻahaʻa e like me Skype a i ʻole VOIP nā kelepona kūkā e hiki ke hopena i ke kamaʻilio ʻana i hope e like me nā ʻuhane disembodied o Orcs, Balrogs a i kekahi manawa ʻo Nazgûl. ʻO wai ka mea e pono ai kēlā mea hoʻowalewale?
ʻOiai ʻaʻohe oʻu Palantír iaʻu iho, ma nā moʻolelo a pau, ua like ke kiʻi a me ka maikaʻi o nā leo i nā pō aniani o Fëanor. Hiki iā lāua ke hōʻike i ka laulā a i ʻole nā pani pani, a me nā pale he nui i ka manawa hoʻokahi. Loaʻa iā lāua ʻelua ka maikaʻi o ka leo akaka. ʻOiai ʻo Palantíri e hoʻolālā i kā lākou leo leo i loko o kou lolo pololei, hiki i kēia ke lilo i mea maikaʻi loa i kekahi manawa, e like me ka ʻike ʻana o Pippin i kāna kamaʻilio me Sauron ma "The Two Towers."
ʻO kekahi ala kelepona ʻaha kūkā hou ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o Palantíri Nā Mana Hoʻohālike e hoʻopau i nā leo Skype, a e hōʻoia i ka pololei o nā pae leo no kēlā me kēia kanaka. A ʻoiai ʻoe e akahele ʻaʻole e hoʻouna Nā kono a me nā hoʻomanaʻo i nā Haku ʻeleʻele daimonio, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokuʻi i kāu kelepona kūkā.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻike ʻana i nā Pōhaku o Númenor ma mua o nā kelepona kūkākūkā e nānā hiʻona pū kekahi. Ma nā lima akamai, hiki i ka Palantíri ke ʻike i hope a i hope i ka manawa, a me ke ākea. He nani loa kēlā. ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki i nā kelepona ʻaha kūkā lawe i kekahi manawa e hoʻonohonoho, a ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke puke i nā kelepona kūkā mamua me Kelepona Hoʻolālā, ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kāhea iā Tolkien iā ia iho i ka makahiki 1940 a nīnau iā ia no ke aha ʻo ia i hoʻohui ai i nā Accënts ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia Nâme i kāna mau Bōōks.
E kuhikuhi i ka Palantíri.
A e like me nā kelepona ʻaha kūkā, hele pū ʻo Palantír me ka hale i kūkulu ʻia Helu manuahis a hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hana Kāhea hou. Ua ʻike ʻo Pippin i kēia i kona wā i ʻohi ai i ka Saruman's Seeing Stone ma waho o Orthanc, ka mea i kelepona wikiwiki iā Sauron. ʻO kēlā ʻoiaʻiʻo i aʻo iā ia e komo i nā hana a nā kupua!
Akā ʻo ka mea kaumaha, ʻo ka ʻōnaehana hana ma Fëanor's Palantíri i mua i ka mea i hoʻokumu ʻia o ka World Wide Web, no laila ua kāhea ka ʻaha kūkā. ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana i nā pōhaku ma kekahi mau ʻano no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke komo i loko ʻFerlelo kūkākūkā pūnaewele a Nā ʻ .lelo Palapala. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻenehana kelepona ʻaha kūkā i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
E noʻonoʻo i nā pilikia a pau i hiki i ka Fellowship of the Ring ke hoʻopakele inā loaʻa iā lākou ka ʻenehana kelepona ʻaha kūkā democratic a hiki ke maʻalahi! ʻAʻole pono ʻo Boromir e hele i ka ʻākau i Rivendell mai Minas Tirith no ʻeono mahina e hele ai i ka ʻaha kūkā o Elrond. Akā, laki paha ʻaʻole i haku ʻo Tolkien i ke kelepona ʻaha kūkā e like me kā mākou i ʻike ai, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka leʻaleʻa o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā puke me ka ʻole o lākou.
No laila, ma muli o ka hoʻohālikelike hiʻohiʻona, e hōʻuluʻulu mākou. Inā he mamo pololei ʻoe na Isildur, ke keiki a Elendil, he mau koho maikaʻi loa ka Palantíri no ka launa pū ʻana me kāu mea aloha ʻo Arwen Evenstar, kou makuahōnōwai make ʻole ʻo Galadriel (e noho nei i Elvenhome me Gandalf a me Elrond), a ʻeiwa mau aliʻi o kānaka a me ʻehiku mau dwarves. A hiki paha iā ʻoe ke hoʻi hou i ka wanaʻao a ʻike i ka lima ikaika o Fëanor Curufinwë ma ka hana.
Akā, inā ʻoe he hobbit maʻamau, a ʻaʻole makemake ʻoe e komo i nā hana a nā wizards (ʻo ia ka manaʻo maikaʻi mau), ke ʻimi nei ʻoe i ka ringtone hoʻokahi e ʻike ai i kāu mau hoaaloha, e hui pū iā lākou a pau, a, "i ka pilina e hoʻopaʻa iā lākou," koho i ka mea haʻahaʻa a hauʻoli hoʻi ma kāu kelepona.
No ka hapa nui o nā hobbits o kēia wā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kelepona kūkā ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana i nā pōhaku.
E kau i kou mau wāwae huluhulu ma luna o ka pahu o "Old Winyards", a hoʻohana i ka teleconferencing e hōʻiliʻili i kāu mau hoa hana, a i ʻole ʻohana, i hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hele i lalo i kahi kūkākūkā ola no nā mea nui o ke ola, e like me ke ʻano o ka ʻohi ʻana o kēia makahiki o "Old. ʻO Toby" e hele mai ana, a i ʻole kēlā kumuhana kumu mua i kekahi hobbit hanohano:
"He aha ka ʻaina ahiahi?"
Hana i kāu moʻokāki FreeConference.com a kiʻi i nā mea āpau āu e makemake ai no kāu ʻoihana a i ʻole hoʻonohonoho e kū i ka honua, e like me ke wikiō a Nā ʻ .lelo Palapala, Kelepona Hoʻolālā, ʻO nā leka uila leka uila, nā hoʻomanaʻo, A oi.
