Therefore I think Nuin can't wacke Ermon and Elmir an dhas to leave the newly awoken Men to same self for a time.

The text in the NoME doesn't necessarily mean that the original Men had messengers sent to them immediately after their Awakening (especially since the said text outright states that Eru sent messages to the original Men too).


Also, Men have notoriously unreliable memories - especially across multiple generations!
