The Ogier are literally the ______ of Randland

This is probably not a new revelation for most people, but it has been a long time since I watched/read LOTR. Been rewatching it with my wife and realized that the Ogier storyline is very nearly the same as the story of the Ents. They are an ancient race with long lives that take care of trees. Each group has a long meeting to decide whether or not to join the war (the Entmoot and the Stump). Both seem as if they won’t join, and then will. They both prove to be formidable warriors.

To be honest when others have compared WoT to LOTR, I have never seen this brought up, but I’m sure most people have noticed. Just thought it was interesting that I consumed each series so far apart that I hadn’t noticed it before
