Seriously, though. He was insanely learned in linguistics and etymology and worked the historical languages of Europe into all of his fictional languages. The entire series was really just him playing with languages and creating his own; the stories really came later.
One of the Elvish languages (I forget which) was based on Welsh (which as a Celtic language, specifically a Q-Celtic one, is related to/similar to Gaulish.
Another historical European thing I noticed is the similarities between the battle of helmsklam and the siege of Vienna In both the defendants were vastly outnumbered and in both they were saved by 3000 cavalrymen
If you're referring to the "Cauaros" at the beginning that means Fighter and the faint voices in the background are saying "your will fall again and you will end again"
I'm assuming the God is "Esus", the title of the song but the u is replaced with the roman "v", so it's "Esvs". They did this with other titles of their songs as well. The God Lugus is Lvgvs, Nantosuelta is Nantosvuelta, Sucellos is Svcellos, Caturix is Catvrix, etc.
As with all things in the religion of the Gauls, it is about cycles. Life and death, the year, etc. Esus is a god which is worshiped along with Teutates (God of the People) and Taranis (The Thunderer) as a trio. His name means "Good Master, Respected One, etc" and ritual human sacrifices were offered in his name. These sacrifices ranged in purpose from purifying the land to giving the tribe strength in the battles to come. He was equated to the Roman gods Mars and Mercury, suggesting a role in warfare.

@@Araanim Perhaps because Tolkien was primarily a linguist? 😆
This is eye-opening.
