Isn't "athelas" Tolkien-inspired? The Tolkien estate isn't super friendly with regards to this kind of reference. Try to find out how much Palantîr paid for an agreement with them (my understanding is that it's a very large number), and ask if that really makes sense...
- icebraining 9y agoThe Tolkien estate is full of shit, they have no leg to stand on. Names aren't copyrightable and the book certainly doesn't give them a trademark over these industries.
