Missing Tears of the Prophets

During the occupation of Bajor the Cardassians stole 9 Orbs.
Later in the DS9 series some of the Orbs were returned.
Are all Orbs now accounted for?

I don't think so, I think they ditched most of the Orb stuff when they realised stories about the Prophets weren't the thrillers they thought.

Some of the Bajoran episodes were good, like the 3-parter at the beginning of season 2. That had one orb reference, and it must have lasted a minute (and the end result was seeing Kira partially naked
). If all "orb" episodes had Kira taking her clothes off, I'm sure they would have thrilled the audience. Too bad that's the only good orb
and bajoran episode(s) I can think of.

AFAIR The Bjorans have had all the Orbs returned to them. The last was purchased by the Grand Negus and from them to the Bjornans. Though this all happened in on of the books, it was a good book. We got to see the Ferengi Fleet in action, kinda.

Negative, as of the Avatar books(presuming we accept those) only four orbs are possessed by Bajor, the Orb of Prophecy, Time, one that I can't remember, and Memory(memory being recovered during the course of Avatar's two books

I believe the books are non-canon. If we go by books there are 3 red ones that when brought together in Quarks Bar they open a red wormhole which destroys the station and later merges with the regular one, thus destroying the universe.
That's just one facet of the utterly bizarre DS9 Millenium series.

Which one did Sisko go recover to re-open the wormhole after Dukat closed it?

That was the Orb of the Emissary, buried in a desert on Tyree.

I'm inclined to accept the Avatar series conditionally, as its not like there's going to be any additional material from DS9 episodes to draw upon, and there is actual consistency between that duology and the Section 31 book that followed.

The first book was great, the second moreso but the third was just fucked IMHO.
