I'm not sure if this is what you mean but, my character Ankhel is a not so very subtle reference to Ancalagon the Black from Tolkien's Silmarillion, which I have never read, in combination with transforming dragon people from Fire Emblem like Dheginsea.

Christopher Tolkien has died

JRR Tolkien's son worked diligently to bring us the Silmarillion and related Middle-earth texts

But he also repackaged material in multiple commercial releases and published drafts JRR did not want seen

Where does Tolkien scholarship go from here?
