Numenorean has just left Hobbiton.
Question

Perky, I would hazard a guess that Amandil did indeed arrive at Valinor and with his dieing breath pleaded mercy for the Faithful and for the vain folly of the King and his people.

I feel the Valar must have granted mercy of sorts for the Faithful, for the armadas of Elendil, Isildur and Anarion were born uncannily aloft to safety and Middle Earth, on the same dark tidal waves that swamped Númenorë before their eyes.
