Checked the planned features and FAQ and didn't find this. What it would be is a decorative block or orb that could be placed (unless Mevans wants to give it special powers or some) it could maybe be used like a table of command for evil faces but the main thing is that it would just be for some extra decor. When you walk near it it could begin to glow, eye of sauron could appear, or maybe the hands of Denethor. In the future it could be used for more powerful once all the other more important thing are taken care of like getting so, the factions added. If you have a certain amount of evilness it could be made to where it would randomly spawn troops for you that were hired or could act as a more powerful banner. It could do the same thing for good aligned people or it could give you advanced warning if an invasion is going to spawn or if a player is coming into a biome. That's a bit more complicated and the first part is probably better.

Acquiring: 1. once structures are made there could be some in lore related locations such as the Orthnac or Minas Tirith

2. Could be crafted using special materials like Mithril or something.

3. Rare drop from barrow wights and can be found in barrows

Also if you aren't a certain alignment to use one it could cause blindness and do an effect where you just see the eye of sauron and hear him saying some things in black speach until you right click the Palantir again or try to break it.
