I think I've finally caught up... but one thing: at this point and time, wouldn't the only Men in prison be of the Elendili? It says that they were often times slaughtered, put to prison, or any of the likes. Should they escape eastwards and find Elendil anchored off the east coast towards Middle-earth?
