Page 6 is a joke about copyright, if anybody doesn't get it. The Tolkien estate has a copyright on ents, so they use treants to get around it. Beholders are one of the few monsters from Dungeons and Dragons that Wizards of the Coast has a copyright claim on.

Author is being too real

Author shouldn't beat himself up so much about the names. Tomme and Johnne aren't actually too far off from what I'd expect from cognates of the original names and I could see them happening in Europe. John itself comes from Yohanan of Hebrew origins as a theosophic name praising god which at some point came to become a name for toilets when it crossed over into English. Johan, Juan, Ivan, Yahya, Jean - they all are cognates of John so Johnne isn't as bad as he seems to think.
