          There's a theory out there based on one of J.R.R. Tolkien's letters that they start a new cult of Morgoth in the Fourth Age.

What success they had I do not know; but I fear that they failed, as Saruman did, though doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and "magic" traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron.
