But it stole basically everything from Tolkien, and didn't have nearly as much detail in world development. In what way did it steal from Tolkien? The only relations I saw were the general shape of the coast and elves and dwarves. Since the coast is not a big deal and Elves and Dwarves are norse in origin not something made by Tolkien I don't see anything completely Tolkien that was stolen. Sure both elves are proffecient in magic, live in the woods, and are immortal but that is all just Norse. Again on Dwarves living underground, believed to be of stone, and living in the mountains are all Norse ideas. So I really don't see any relations.
