Part 8/9:
The narrative culminates with an episode involving Eärendil, who committed a transgression by sailing to immortal lands, a capital crime. Manwë, recognizing Eärendil's noble motives, not only spared him from punishment but also sent Valinor’s hosts once more to Middle-earth. However, having learned from past mistakes regarding Melkor, he decisively rejects Melkor’s latest plea for forgiveness, sealing his fate in a void until the end of times.
This highlights a pivotal lesson about the necessity of balance between mercy and justice, illustrating that excessive kindness can lead to catastrophic outcomes when it disregards accountability.
