Right. Númenor. Big fancy island, best blokes in Middle-earth, then they get ideas above their station and decide to invade heaven on earth. Because that always ends well. Enter Sauron—smooth talker, professional gaslighter—who convinces them to bin their common sense and pick a fight with the gods.

Spoiler: it doesn’t end well.
