Couldn't resist. Though admittedly, the first two are far more relevant. Sudden thought: The Hunter. And it plays into the technological (not religious) short-timeline idea: That humans are not native, and are survivors of a crash-landing, or somesuch, but early depredation by the Grimm destroyed memory of that history, though they kept some of their techbase. Or some similar sci-fi reveal, the Grimm being a bioweapon run amok, etc..

And I'm a fair scholar of Tolkien. Not nearly an expert, but certainly familiar enough with the legendarium. As a side note, I really love how his werewolves and vampires work. It's so logical, given the fëa/hröa dichotomy and what the Ainur are.
