Não. Os Valar estavam cuidando dos homens o melhor que podiam, mas estavam hesitantes em se envolver muito, por causa da natureza mortal dos homens e de sua experiência anterior com os elfos. Lembre-se de que os Homens também caíram rapidamente em desgraça, então eles estavam em um "estado" mais parecido com os rebeldes Noldor do que eles eram, digamos, os Vanyar.
To Hildórien there came no Vala to guide Men, or to summon them to dwell in Valinor; and Men have feared the Valar, rather than loved them, and have not understood the purposes of the Powers, being at vari- ance with them, and at strife with the world. Ulmo nonetheless took thought for them, aiding the counsel and will of Manwë; and his messages came often to them by stream and flood. But they have not skill in such matters, and still less had they in those days be- fore they had mingled with the Elves.
(Silmarillion, dos homens)
Earendil não foi especificamente visado para pisar em Valinor - homens mortais e Noldor foram banidos de Valinor, o primeiro por uma boa razão (coisas muito ruins podem resultar de Men passar muito tempo em Valinor), e o último por causa de seu assassinato e rebelião. Earendil foi na verdade um agressor duplo.It is told among the Elves that after Earendil had departed, seeking Elwing his wife, Mandos spoke concerning his fate; and he said: ‘Shall mortal Man step living upon the undying lands, and yet live?’ But Ulmo said: ‘For this he was born into the world. And say unto me: whether is he Earendil Tuor's son of the line of Hador, or the son of Idril, Turgon's daughter, of the Elven-house of Finwë?’ And Mandos answered: ‘Equally the Noldor, who went wilfully into exile, may not return hither.’
But when all was spoken, Manwë gave judgement, and he said: ‘In this matter the power of doom is given to me. The peril that he ventured for love of the Two Kindreds shall not fall upon Earendil, nor shall it fall upon Elwing his wife, who entered into peril for love of him; but they shall not walk again ever among Elves or Men in the Outer Lands. And this is my decree concerning them: to Earendil and to Elwing, and to their sons, shall be given leave each to choose freely to which kindred their fates shall be joined, and under which kindred they shall be judged.’
Como você pode ver, apenas o autor Mandos disse alguma coisa sobre isso, e a "punição" de Manwe foi muito leve, já que os Elfos não iam mais de Valinor para a Terra-Média, exceto por arranjos especiais.
No caso de Numenor, Manwe enviou muitos emissários. Eru e os Valar não destruíram Numenor até que eles realmente pousassem em Valinor, dando a eles todas as chances de se arrependerem e voltarem.
Primeiro Manwe enviou mensageiros:
The Eldar reported these words to the Valar, and Manwë was grieved, seeing a cloud gather on the noontide of Númenor. And he sent messengers to the Dúnedain, who spoke earnestly to the King, and to all who would listen, concerning the fate and fashion of the world.
Em seguida, Manwe efetivamente sancionou-os, depois que eles começaram a perseguir os fiéis e cometer vários outros crimes ou pecados:
This was known to the kings, but they hindered it not, so long as the Elendili departed from their land and did not return; for they desired to end all friendship between their people and the Eldar of Eressëa, whom they named the Spies of the Valar, hoping to keep their deeds and their counsels hidden from the Lords of the West But all that they did was known to Manwë, and the Valar were wroth with the Kings of Númenor, and gave them counsel and protection no more; and the ships of Eressëa came never again out of the sunset, and the havens of Andúnië were forlorn.
Então ele enviou suas advertências:
And out of the west there would come at times a great cloud in the evening, shaped as it were an eagle, with pinions spread to the north and the south; and slowly it would loom up, blotting out the sunset, and then uttermost night would fall upon Númenor. And some of the eagles bore lightning beneath their wings, and thunder echoed between sea and cloud.
Then men grew afraid. ‘Behold the Eagles of the Lords of the West!’ they cried. ‘The Eagles of Manwë are come upon Númenor!’ And they fell upon their faces.
(todos da Silmarillion, Akallabeth)
Os Numenoreanos tiveram toda a chance de se arrepender e escolheram não fazê-lo.
