Not to this passage from The Valaquenta anyway--I would modify Nazgūl-King's statement, however, to remove any reference to Mandos consulting Ilśvatar. Communication with Eru from within Arda seems to normatively, if not exclusively, be the prerogative of the Elder King.

However, insofar as this nuance is sort of contained in the quoted statement from The Valaquenta, it's more of an emphasis than a disagreement on my part.
