There aren’t many. The main one is really the AI called Meridian who is basically a cupertized version of Johnathon Strider with the elven attributes of the elf Lord Glorfindel created by John’s father, Richard Strider out of humor and love of the Tolkien novels. A few others are there. The was a UNSC ship called the UNSC Gondolin during the last fight against Zorath. It was named after the elven city of Gondolin from Tolkien’s Silmarillian. There was a UNSC base hidden on Earth called Eriador Station. I was only mentioned once in a long lost Roleplay. Also, the Albatross dropship that John uses as a personal transport is called the Shadow Fax, a reference to Gandalf’s horse. The oldest son of Dark Charger, Asfaloth is named after the horse of Glorfindel that Frodo uses to escape the Ring Wraiths on. The Ranger Organization of which Acelin Valameer is a part of is a nod to the Rangers that Aragorn was a part of in the northern regions of Middle Earth.Then, there is Johnathon Strider who’s last name is a direct reference to Aragorn’s alias that he used during his time as a ranger.
