I understand, but it doesn't really make it any easier. Remembering the time someone else gave me a clue which I more or less ignored and still got the answer, I'm going to say Lorien. He was the only one who did not make some sort of sacrifice/gamble (Gil-Galad destroying Sauron at the cost of his own life, Nimrodel willing to endure perils to reach Amroth, Borondir running a gauntlet to reach Eorl, Earendil taking on the burden of the doom of the Children of Illuvitar).
