Now its your time to say that warcraft lore is stolen from fantasy. Oh wait..
You can say in the same way that CSI ny stole a lot of ideas from Agatha christie. You know, because they are investigating the crime. All fantasys have a lot of common, because they are fantasys..
Damn i read review in comunistic newspaper from 80ties that whole lotr is metaphore for cold war, and that evil orcs are hard-wroking peoples who work on creating our ideal socialitstic world, while frodo and fellowship are impreial agents from the west. Last awesome thing there, Saruman was an example of industrial worker, and imperial Aragorn was just against new technologys.
Er, i just wanted to say that that all sci-fi books have a lot of things shared, and that you can really look on something in many ways. You can see Lotr as cool fantasy book, or you can see it as an attack from west capitalism. Hehe i really loled when i read it
Hope in t10 robe though, and in option to close that damned helm..
