The Wheel of Time™ World

ID #0

Is it just a coincidence that "al'Thor" and "Merrilin" sound a lot like "Arthur" and "Merlin"?

It certainly isn't. Robert Jordan combined bits and pieces from the mythology and legends of many different cultures. He then jumbled everything around so, for instance, "Artur" Hawkwing lived a thousand years before Thom "Merrilin" instead of them being contemporaries.
