I know I'm out in the left field here, but Ealasaide do you suppose Naiore craves power/control, or feels entitled to it? I would think that if she did, she might find her style worked in Sauron's realm, where it was probably suspect among the elves, viewing her lack of compassion etc. In a way she was more accepted and valued there in Mordor. But would that have been a factor in reinforcing her behavior? Is any part of her self worth tied to those successes?
