Although there is no exact parallel to the Horcruxes in LOTR (or 
JRRT's other works), I am also reminded somewhat of the Palantiri.  
There were seven of these, if you recall.

The one at Orthanc ended up 'summoning' the Dark Lord ('He whom we do 
not name' is the precise Gondorian apellation) if you looked in it - 
shades of the diary - while the Anor stone ended up tied to Denethor.

David, who can't get his head round all this simplicity
