The languages and backstory he created resulted the only fantasy story that actually creates the impression of a world with its own history and culture that genuinely sparks the desire to know more about it and experience more of it. You know, like a fantasy. It's the only fantasy novel that compares with RPGs in that regard. It stands head and shoulders above all its imitators, which try to do the same thing and fail because they can't come up with enough backstory or imaginary history. Even if they do, they either incorporate it too much or too little in to the novel (usually the former). And then you have a million hacks - who shall remain nameless - who think they can get away with gibberish languages and boring cities and peoples that are just historical ones or ones from previous fantasy works, disguised with a paper thin veneer pic unrelated.
