Heureka! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] at last I found it (at least I think this must be it, it's just in the narrative.)
It is in the Akallabêth, when Sauron has corrupted most of the Númenóreans, so that they worshipped Melkor. They arrested and sacrificed many of the "Faithful" on the pretext that they were plotting against the king.
"These charges were for the most part false ; yet those were bitter days, and hate brings forth hate."
