Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien LOTR and Wheel of Time

Has anyone else noticed some similarities between LOTR and Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. I'm not saying that he copied Tolkien's ideas. I'm just noting that there seems to be a number of available names and geographic features that are almost common between the books.

For instance: in both books the Dark Lord resides near a mountain stuck in an uninhabitable plain surrounded by more mountains.

Has anyone else noticed these similarities...
