The whole reason Ar-Pharazôn captured Sauron in the first place though was because he wanted to eliminate him as a rival for world domination, so why would he send Sauron back to Mordor where he could easily rebuild his power? Wouldn't that put everything back where it started? Maybe a faithful Pharazôn could have somehow restored communication with the Elves and in doing so arranged for Sauron to be transported to Aman to face the judgement of Manwë - now that's an interesting idea if I do say so myself. But I don't think Sauron would have permitted himself to be captured by faithful Númenóreans. Going to fallen Númenor was safe. If they'd still been allies of the Elves and the Valar I imagine he would never have come to Umbar and submitted. In that scenario the Valar would have had to deal with the Ring, though, and whether even one of the Powers could bring themselves to have it unmade. Quote:
Also I think no matter their amount of their success the Noldor would have waned in the Third Age because it was not in their nature to stay in Middle-earth. They would have faded in any event.
