			* In the November 2001 patch, [[The Gathering Storm]], and just before the release of the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Ulgrim the Unpleasant would sometimes say: {{tell\|"Give me any rings you don't want. I've been collecting them ever since I found one near the water the other day."}}. This is a reference to how The One Ring from The Lord of the Rings was lost and then found again in a river.

			* In October 2001, prior to the release of Dark Majesty, the article [[Microsoft Zone Archive/Asheron's Lore/Queen in the Storm\|Queen in the Storm]] was released. This piece contains the line, ''"Strange wizards hiding away in towers distributing arrows is no way to inherit the divine right of kings!"'' which is a reference to the line, ''"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."'' from the film ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''.
