User blog comment:Awobbie/Elder Scrolls and Lord of the Rings... Same Universe?/@comment-5469467-20140723042719

I can see the similartities, but they're more examples of tropes than evidence that Elder Scrolls and Lord of the Rings take place in the same universe. Especially when you take into account the fact that Tolkein-esque fantasy has become something of a generic brand, in the sense that it gets mirrored or copied in other literature.
