Éa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fantasy world of Earthsea created by Ursula K. Le Guin, Éa is an island in the Sea of Éa, between Enlad and Havnor. According to the Earthsea creation myth, The Creation of Éa, the island of Éa was the first land raised by the creator, Segoy, above the waters.
The similar Eä appears in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as Quenya for "Let it be!" and is used by Ilúvatar, Tolkien's God-figure, to bring the world into existence. Despite the similar spellings and usages of the words, this is almost certainly a coincidence as the Silmarillion was written long before A Wizard of Earthsea but published after.
