First the Palantiri only might have been made by Feanor. Which would answer your question why they were not consumed by Ungoliant. Even if they were they were not kept with the Silmarils, which were kept at Formenos. The Palantiri: Crystal globes wrought by the Noldor in Eldamar. The Master-stone was kept in the Tower of Avallone, but the Eldar gave seven palantiri to Amandil of Andunie. These globes were used to see far off places. Whereas the Silmarils were the greatest of Feanor's treaures, and they shone with the light of the two trees; it was that light that Ungoliant hated and wanted destroyed not the art. That is why the Palantiri weren't consumed. At the fall of Numenor, Elendil brought the palantiri to Middle-earth and placed them throughout his realm. In short they were at different places that is why. |
