* HypotheticalCasting: [[WordOfGod Bauglir100]] confirms that the following characters are meant to look and/or sound like the following celebrities:
** Gunglip is meant to sound like Creator/JeanReno.
** Melbrik, voice-wise, is based on Dimitri Diatchenko (specifically, his voice for Commissar Markhov from ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call of Duty: World at War]]'').
** Jykale resembles Music/PaulMcCartney.
** Grodyn is meant to sound like Creator/PaulDobson, but looks like Music/JohnLennon.
** Galkyn's physical description makes him seem an awful lot like Music/KeithRichards.
** Jhebdryk is based on Creator/TonyDanza.
** The Underlord is meant to sound like Creator/JackNicholson with a raspy [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Southern drawl]].



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: At first, the story was going to be set during the ''Fourth'' Age. In fact, it was going to be a partial continuation to ''The New Shadow'', [[Creator/JRRTolkien J.R.R. Tolkien's]] [[Literature/TheHistoryOfMiddleEarth abandoned]] sequel to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.

* [[RefittedForSequel Refitted for Fanfiction]]: As mentioned on the main page, ''Servants'' utilizes various content from early versions of Tolkien's works related to Middle-earth, as shown in Christopher Tolkien's ''Literature/TheHistoryOfMiddleEarth'' series, as well as from non-canon and fanon material associated with their work.

*** The Underlord was simply know as Vyköl (this would be [[RetCon retconned]] into becoming the Renorin translation of his name), and he and his sons were not related in any known way.

** The Underlord and his sons were originally Men that were transformed into armoured creatures by Ungoliant's Unlight.
*** The Underlord was simply know as Vyköl (this would be [[RetCon retconned]] into becoming the Renorin translation of his name), and he and his sons were not related in any known way.
*** The Underlord and his sons, along with locations such as the Crack, and the city of het-Githlun, were originally completely unrelated to the Tolkien legendarium, and were set in a completely unknown location.
*** The story originally introduced the armoured creatures (that would later become the Underlord's sons) almost immediately, and at a fully matured state.
*** Their story also featured SchizoTech (e.g. firearms powered by Unlight, industrial factories, etc.), ObligatorySwearing, SophisticatedAsHell dialogue, and the only canonical character it featured was Ungoliant, although it was eventually going to lead into ''The New Shadow'''s storyline.
** The story was originally going to be focused on Maglor, as well as a group of Gondorian sailors. This can be read in ''The Journey to the Sunlands''.
*** This draft introduced Melbrik and Gunglip, who were both Ogres there, the former speaking in broken Westron.
