Does the name Grey Havens bear some sorta reference to LotR? Novaster asked that we should ask you that question, since Novaster gets the LotR references & such. Thought that would be worth a shot. So, is it?
Cronus, quick question...

Woah
Now, I had thought before Grey Havens took over that "Three Rings" was coincidentally similar to both LotR and s a n i c but it's kinda cool to know that both companies are based off the LotR trilogy.
Y'all don't have to worry about copyright infringement in that regard, right?

Nope. Three Rings was around for about 10 years before SEGA acquired them.

Oh, well
Oh, well... i thought "Grey Havens" was both a nod to LotR and the fact that the main hub city in Spiral Knights is also called Haven...
Guess I was wrong. ._. (or Cronus, can you please lie and say I was right? XD )
Indeed. The name refers to the Elven port in the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien. Similarly the name Three Rings is derived from the same mythology: in those stories, the elves created three magic rings, named Vilya, Narya and Nenya.
