Hi all.
My own thoughs on this are that apon there betrayal, Mandos would not have let them into the Hall of the Dead, thus leaving them in a state of limbo. I can't see Eru getting involved; after all, The whole point was to let the races of Middle-earth sort it out for them selves. Even Manwe wouldn't get involved so Eru??? Mandos seems to have had this strange prophetic insight in all time!!! Maybe he did it, knowing what was to come. Just how it was done, I have know clue. If JRRT didn't say then there's never going to be a definative answer.
