Ar-Pharazôn’s plan to attack the Valar is the final act that will divide the Elf-friends from the rest of Númenor forever. They won’t involve themselves in the fight—they’ll abandon the enemies of the Valar to their fates. Amandil, though, still has pity on Númenor, corrupted by Morgoth’s residual influence and Sauron’s control, and tries to beg for mercy for them. Eärendil is the only one to successfully petition the Valar and reunite them with the world, however, and Amandil won’t manage it a second time.
