[edit] EdenAgain

Is EdenAgain REALLY that similar to Tolkien's Arda, though? Arda is an allegorical "time before" - while Eru Iluvatar (God) created the world, it is a time long, long before He sent His son to redeem mankind (the end of the Fourth and dawn of the Fifth Age, it is commonly believed, corresponds with the birth, life, and death of Christ). Nor, unlike Narnia, is it an allegorically Christian world; Tolkien's legendarium has far more in common with the pre-Christian mythologies of Europe (as well it should; his goal with Middle Earth was to create anew the pre-Christian mythology of England).
