Diamond18 is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Tolkien

There is a city in Mesopotamina called Erech, but this is what Tolkien had to say about it:

Quote:
Letter 297 to a Mr. Rang
In any case the fact that Erech is a famous name is of no importance to The L.R. and no connexions in my mind or intention between Mesopotamia and the Númenórians or their predecessors can be deduced.
