    Why would you even name yourself after the Palantiri, they’re literally tainted with bad omens.

    They are implied to be made by Fëanor, who in rage perpetuated a mass-slaying of his kin because they refused to give him their boats, which he needed for his crazy revenge quest.

    Some were then literally used by Sauron, who literally is the servant of basically Satan, to gain knowledge so he could conquer Middle-earth.

    Like why would you think that’d be a good name for a company.

      Probably because you have the hubris necessary to believe that if the One Ring were in your hands, you would be strong enough to wield it without becoming corrupted.
