@Two9A@hachyderm.io @JoshuaACNewman@xeno.glyphpress.com @angusm@mastodon.social They weren't made in Numenor; they were brought from Numenor ("seven stars and seven stones and one white tree", the palantiri are the seven (seeing) stones) but were gifts from the elves and were in their origins the work of Fëanor. Who, yeah, greatest of the elves, but also one of those responsible for the disaster of the First Age. (More or less the Elves' Original Sin made flesh.) "All-seeing, inescapable, and obeying the greater will" aren't positive traits.
