*After his encounter with Lisse, goes back into "Hide in his Dad's study and read books he's not supposed to" mode.*
Proudest of all the Kings was Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, and no less than the kingship of all the world was his desire. But still he retained enough wisdom to fear the Lords of the West, and turned his thoughts to Middle-earth. Now Sauron knowing of the dissension in Númenor thought how he might use it to achieve his revenge. He began therefore to assail the havens and forts of the Númenoreans, and invaded the coastlands under their dominion. As he foresaw this aroused the great wrath of the King, who resolved to challenge Sauron the Great for the lordship over Middle-earth. For five years Ar-Pharazôn prepared, and at last he himself set sail with a great navy and armament, the greatest that had yet appeared in the world.
If Sauron had thought to decoy the King to Middle-earth and there destroy him, his hope deceived him. And Ar-Pharazôn landed at Umbar, and so great was the splendour and might of the Númenoreans at the noon of their glory that at the rumour of them alone all men flocked to their summons and did obeisance; and Sauron's own servants fled away. The land of Mordor he had indeed fortified and made so strong that he need fear no assault upon it; but he was in doubt now, and even the Barad-dûr seemed no longer secure.

Dear diary,
Must stop being a scaredy. Be more like Attô. Attô was COOL...well, maybe not the stuff about wanting to be the king of the world but the stuff about calling Sauron's bluff and beating him. Wow.
*Decides to go...OUTSIDE!*
