I’ve had a question brewing for a while, about the name ‘Calmiríë’… have you played Warlords II, back in the day, or is the name coincidence?

I have, but it’s still coincidence. Mine came first.

(Well, technically, Tolkien used it first as the capital of Rohan back when Rohan was Calenardhon, but I didn’t know that until afterwards, either.)

Ah, indeed. I just recognised the name ‘Calmirie’ as the name of the capital of the ‘Kingdoms’ (dark blue) faction in the Erythea scenario for Warlords II. I can easily see this being coincidence.
