Well, I think if we are dealing with the latter days of Numenor, then the captives almost certainly were sacrificed in Sauron's cult, offerings to Melkor, the Giver of Freedom...
Unpleasant, and thought-provoking, and an excellent rebuke to any who see Tolkien as any form of colonialist or, insipid word, racist.
