Actually, beren was sent there because he asked i think, and how his story went.
In the book of lost tales part one theres a long part that tells about how he DOES have jurisdiction over the fate of men. But, i think this idea was thrown away.
anyway its something like this
When men die they go to a place thats near the place where the elves die (in mandos) but from there it can go three different ways.
The first option was that they could sent to Melkor to labor on and on and on. This was alike to our hell.
Or they could be sent to this ship called Mornie thats docked near mandos (his hall not him) and go to Arvalin\. I think thats some empty plain near valmar. This was supposed to be similar to purgatory
The last option (if you were a really good boy [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ) was to go dwell with the gods in valmar. This was supposed to be like Heaven
