Fascinating idea... An RPG or fanfic germ, perhaps?

Some sort of second Númenor from which the descendents of Aragorn would return to Middle-Earth with a massive avenging army, to take on a somewhat complacent Sauron and his atrophied armies, in the grand tradition of Tar-Calion?

Sorry about the tangent... I just had to say what an intriguing thought this would be. After all, if NOTHING can work in Eru's despite, it follows that Sauron must be defeated by some means, sometime- even if he were to recover the Ring. And what a very different scenario it would be...
