The word for the sun in elvish is elgara.
So I would surmise that this primeval deity, Elgar'nan's father, is called Elgara to the elves.
The Land/Earth is a little harder to discern, because I can't find any instance of land/earth having an equivalent in the elven tongue.
The closest guess I would have is "An" - as An is added to elven words to give an indication of place/location. Eg. Arlathan, Solasan, Elvhenan, Abelasan, etc.
I've also seen on the wiki that the land/earth is called 'Alas' or 'Vhen'alas', but I've been unable to find a source for that claim.
So;
The Sun = Elgara
The Earth/Earth = unknown, possibly "An", "Alas" or "Vhen'alas"
But never have the elves ever called these 'deities' by anything other than the english 'sun/land/earth'. I just thought it was worth mentioning the elvish.

I feel like we could have been friends should we meet irl :) thanks for covering the dragon age!

[@PrettyPinkPersephone]

It kinda sounds like Elgar’nan was made tranquil?

[@ladysulevin]

I really like that idea - I wonder if the possibility of tranquility in Elvhenan will be addressed in the new game?
