I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you meant.

hS

Yeah, that IS what he is saying.

Miriel isn't even mentioned here.....

My bad, she was, but only as a footnote. She is more than a footnote. This needs fixing asap.

Imagine, if you will, a world where Tar-Palantir was more politically savvy. Imagine a world where he entrusted his only offspring to Amandil to raise her. They spread the word that she died shortly after birth to protect her until the time is right. Imagine a world where Pharazon ascended the throne unmolested, and over time grew careless, believing that no one could challenge him. Imagine him being killed in his sleep by a Faithful loyalist. Imagine if they started clamoring on who would inherit the throne. Imagine, at that point, Amandil revealing the child of Tar-Palantir, who didn't die after all.

The Faithful assassinating people in their beds feels way more Martiny than Tolkienish.

Reviving this

Why did Eru kill her but spare him? If anything, it should have been the other way around, even from Eru's perspective. In the Bible, the God rewarded the faithful and punished heretics. She is the faithful one; he is the heretic.
