Forgive me if this is already mentioned in the preceeding 32 pages ;) but surely someone else must have noticed that Valar and Morghul (as in valar morghulis) are both high elven in LOTR. Tha Valar being founding higher beings, tying in nicely with Valaryia. I like the historical parallels as well. Particularly the Targaryans / Romanovs, who were famously either brilliant or insane.
