BeleWhat?

40K add copy:

...Belegost is a dead world, covered in sandy desert and ruins of some unknown civilization long dead...

I thought Belegost was a Dwarven City (along with Nogrod?) From The Silmarillion.

Is my memory playing tricks on me?

GW steals from everywhere I guess.

So as part of the licensing with NWC they can sneak in an Easter Egg place-name to 40K from Middle Earth ?

I suppose Tolkien's heirs will be pursued for retroactive copyright infringement

In the Silmarillion there is a bit about one of the named heroes of the (2nd ?) age hiding in the ruins of Belegost (after the Dwarves abandon it).


Planet with ruins / Ruined city = Belegost


Kinda using the name for the same-ish thing.
