Has anyone added the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn (Tad Williams) reference to the dwarf that rides the wolf (Binabik and Qantaqa) as being made fun of by GRRM's Tyrion and Sansa? Also Tyrion is a city in the Silmarillion which eventually gets abandoned by the elves. Earendil spends a while wandering around it in his blond, bearded half-elf glory.
