Thereafter
the
fire
and
smoke
went
up
without
ceasing
;
for
the
power
of
Sauron
daily
increased
,
and
in
that
temple
,
with
spilling
of
blood
and
torment
and
great
wickedness
,
men
made
sacrifice
to
Melkor
that
he
should
release
them
from
Death
.
And
most
often
from
among
the
Faithful
they
chose
their
victims
;
yet
never
openly
on
the
charge
that
they
would
not
worship
Melkor
,
the
Giver
of
Freedom
,
rather
was
cause
sought
against
them
that
they
hated
the
King
and
were
his
rebels
,
or
that
they
plotted
against
their
kin
,
devising
lies
and
poisons
.
These
charges
were
for
the
most
part
false
;
yet
those
were
bitter
days
,
and
hate
brings
forth
hate
.
But
for
all
this
Death
did
not
depart
from
the
land
,
rather
it
came
sooner
and
more
often
,
and
in
many
dreadful
guises
.
For
whereas
aforetime
men
had
grown
slowly
old
,
and
had
laid
them
down
in
the
end
to
sleep
,
when
they
were
weary
at
last
of
the
world
,
now
madness
and
sickness
assailed
them
;
and
yet
they
were
afraid
to
die
and
go
out
into
the
dark
,
the
realm
of
the
lord
that
they
had
taken
;
and
they
cursed
themselves
in
their
agony
.
And
men
took
weapons
in
those
days
and
slew
one
another
for
little
cause
;
for
they
were
become
quick
to
anger
,
and
Sauron
,
or
those
whom
he
had
bound
to
himself
,
went
about
the
land
setting
man
against
man
,
so
that
the
people
murmured
against
the
King
and
the
lords
,
or
against
any
that
had
aught
that
they
had
not
;
and
the
men
of
power
took
cruel
revenge
.

Nonetheless
for
long
it
seemed
to
the
Numenoreans
that
they
prospered
,
and
if
they
were
not
increased
in
happiness
,
yet
they
grew
more
strong
,
and
their
rich
men
ever
richer
.
For
with
the
aid
and
counsel
of
Sauron
they
multiplied
then
:
possessions
,
and
they
devised
engines
,
and
they
built
ever
greater
ships
.
And
they
sailed
now
with
power
and
armoury
to
Middle
-
earth
,
and
they
came
no
longer
as
bringers
of
gifts
,
nor
even
as
rulers
,
but
as
fierce
men
of
war
.
And
they
hunted
the
men
of
Middle
-
earth
and
took
their
goods
and
enslaved
them
,
and
many
they
slew
cruelly
upon
their
altars
.
For
they
built
in
their
fortresses
temples
and
great
tombs
in
those
days
;
and
men
feared
them
,
and
the
memory
of
the
kindly
kings
of
the
ancient
days
faded
from
the
world
and
was
darkened
by
many
a
tale
of
dread
.
Thus
Ar
-
Pharazon
,
King
of
the
Land
of
the
Star
,
grew
to
the
mightiest
tyrant
that
had
yet
been
in
the
world
since
the
reign
of
Morgoth
,
though
in
truth
Sauron
ruled
all
from
behind
the
throne
.
But
the
years
passed
,
and
the
King
felt
the
shadow
of
death
approach
,
as
his
days
lengthened
;
and
he
was
filled
with
fear
and
wrath
.
Now
came
the
hour
that
Sauron
had
prepared
and
long
had
awaited
.
And
Sauron
spoke
to
the
King
,
saying
that
his
strength
was
now
so
great
that
he
might
think
to
have
his
will
in
all
things
,
and
be
subject
to
no
command
or
ban
.
And
he
said
:
The
Valar
have
possessed
themselves
of
the
land
where
there
is
no
death
;
and
they
lie
to
you
concerning
it
,
hiding
it
as
best
they
may
,
because
of
their
avarice
,
and
their
fear
lest
the
Kings
of
Men
should
wrest
from
them
the
deathless
realm
and
rule
the
world
in
their
stead
.
And
though
,
doubtless
,
the
gift
of
life
unending
is
not
for
all
,
but
only
for
such
as
are
worthy
,
being
men
of
might
and
pride
and
great
lineage
,
yet
against
all
Justice
is
it
done
that
this
gift
,
which
is
his
due
,
should
be
withheld
from
the
King
of
Bangs
,
Ar
-
Pharazon
,
mightiest
of
the
sons
of
Earth
,
to
whom
Manwe
alone
can
be
compared
,
if
even
he
.
But
great
kings
do
not
brook
denials
,
and
take
what
is
their
due
.

Then
Ar
-
Pharazon
,
being
besotted
,
and
walking
under
the
shadow
of
death
,
for
his
span
was
drawing
towards
its
end
,
hearkened
to
Sauron
;
and
he
began
to
ponder
in
his
heart
how
he
might
make
war
upon
the
Valar
.
He
was
long
preparing
this
design
,
and
he
spoke
not
openly
of
it
,
yet
it
could
not
be
hidden
from
all
.
And
Amandil
,
becoming
aware
of
the
purposes
of
the
King
,
was
dismayed
and
filled
with
a
great
dread
,
for
he
knew
that
Men
could
not
vanquish
the
Valar
in
war
,
and
that
ruin
must
come
upon
the
world
,
if
this
war
were
not
stayed
.
Therefore
he
called
his
son
,
Elendil
,
and
he
said
to
him
:
The
days
are
dark
,
and
there
is
no
hope
for
Men
,
for
the
Faithful
are
few
.
Therefore
I
am
minded
to
try
that
counsel
which
our
forefather
Earendil
took
of
old
,
to
sail
into
the
West
,
be
there
ban
or
no
,
and
to
speak
to
the
Valar
,
even
to
Manwe
himself
,
if
may
be
,
and
beseech
his
aid
ere
all
is
lost
.
Would
you
then
betray
the
King
?
said
Elendil
.
For
you
know
well
the
charge
that
they
make
against
us
,
that
we
are
traitors
and
spies
,
and
that
until
this
day
it
has
been
false
.
