In briefanswer capsule

Under King Tar-Ancalimon the Númenóreans divided. The larger party, the King’s Men, became haughty and withdrew from the Eldar and the Valar. The smaller Elendili, or Elf-friends, stayed loyal to the King and the House of Elros yet sought Eldarin friendship and the counsel of the Lords of the West; they also used the name Faithful. Death troubled them too. The realm’s power grew; the Ban was not openly broken, and ships sailed only east.
