But, England already had a mythology. Tolkien knew that since he drew from it as well. The Balrog is based on Balor of the Fomorians, enemies of the Tuatha Da Danan.

That’s celtic, doc! JRRT wanted a mythos for the Anglo-Saxons who settled in England.

Fer shure.

Did you know he was such a language geek that he created the word “Emnet” (as in Rohan’s East and West Emnet) and defined it as the Mercian word for steppe or prairie. He felt this is what the Mercians would have called a steppe if they had ever actually seen one.

It is to laugh!

Well, if anyone would know what the Mercians would have called it, he was the one.
