My point is, however, that in my opinion the most likely event in any "Faithful Númenor" scenario seems to be to be a war for the "soul" of Middle-earth, as it were, not unlike the War of the Last Alliance and the War of the Ring, perhaps, but on a vaster scale and potentially far more catastrophic. Given that Sauron's greatest problem at the end of the Second Age was that Gil-Galad had managed to rebuild his military strength during the years of Sauron's absence in Númenor, an earlier war against the Noldor which did not give them recovery time and against a not fully militarised Númenor might have simply resulted in an inconclusive struggle which wore down both sides.

The example of Tar-Palantír shows that it was, for the majority, "too late" for redemption even before the reign of Pharazôn.
