They carry through their role as a faithful remnant when they serve the rest of ME as rangers. Is this perhaps Numenor's greatest legacy, both the larger failing and the deliverance and faithfulness of a few? What do you all think?

I think that you have a valid point.

What really struck me about the account of the fall of Numenor was the central place of worship (and lack thereof) of Eru. That was not something that had come up, that I can recall, even in the various elvish rebellions and grumblings.

And Maedhros answered: 'But how shall our voices reach to Ilúvatar beyond the Circles of the World? And by Ilúvatar we swore in our madness, and called the Everlasting Darkness upon us, if we kept not our word. Who shall release us?'

Even after the Noldorian revolt, they still held Eru in his proper place. Great point indeed.
