Ar Pharazon? What? He wasn’t the first man to stand up against the mutuality of men, many men had done it before him. And what the is the ‘curse’ of men? Do you mean the ‘fate’, ‘gift’ or ‘doom’ of men that they will one day die? This is not a curse. In the end, even the Elves and the Valar would envy the doom of men and freedom toe escape the world, and it is only the insolence of the first generation men, who worshiped Melkor that it is referred to in a negative manner. never remember reading a post on Ar-Pharazon ‘scaring’ Sauron, it was really Sauron being clever and manipulative. He knew his armies would get a *** -kicking form the Numenoreans, and he knew that the only way in which he could destroy Numenor was to ‘destroy’ it from the inside, which he did.
