Hundreds of years later, the Men of Númenor decide to capture Sauron to demonstrate their might, unaware of the One Ring and the power Sauron wielded when he wore it. As it is described in Akallabêth, Sauron is brought to Númenor as a hostage and appears to show remorse for his deeds. However, he has taken on a beautiful appearance and his seeming goodness and persuasive tongue soon corrupts most Númenóreans and he becomes the chief adviser to the King. Sauron encourages the Númenóreans to cast aside their traditional reverence for Eru Ilúvatar and to take up the worship of Melkor, or Morgoth, Sauron's former master, and make human sacrifices to him. Under Sauron's influence, the Númenóreans finally decide to challenge the Valar by invading Aman. As a punishment for their transgressions, their fleet is annihilated and Númenor itself is destroyed and sunk beneath the waves, but Sauron again escapes and flees to Middle-earth.
Only a few survivors leave Númenor before it is too late, and led by Elendil the Tall and his two sons Isildur and Anárion, they settle in Middle-earth. They create realms governed in the Númenórean way — Elendil rules over Arnor in the North, and Isildur and Anárion rule together in the great country of Gondor in the South. However, Sauron survived the disaster too, and although he has lost his fair appearance, both he and his One Ring return safely to his stronghold of old in the land of Mordor.
Years pass, and Sauron, who had renewed his might, decides to attack the new realms while they were still weak. His onslaught fails, however, and Elendil, his sons, and the Elven kings fight back. For many years the great coalition (The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, as it became known) besiege Mordor. At last the host breaks through into Sauron's fortress of Barad-dûr. Anárion died first before Sauron broke the siege and the mighty king of the Elves, Gil-galad challenges Sauron to a duel, and is slain in combat. Finally Elendil fights Sauron, and though he is mortally wounded he manages to overcome Sauron before he dies. Isildur, Elendil's son, approaches Sauron's body and cuts off his finger with the One Ring, breaking Sauron's power and causing his spirit to depart from his body. Sauron later returns as the Necromancer in The Hobbit, and returns later to Barad-dûr by the time of the Lord of the Rings.
