Eilan and Teleri. Eilan is identified as Adsartha at the beginning of "The Forest House". Dierna recognizes Teleri as Adsartha the very first time she sees her.

Helena. While on Glastonbury, Helena has a vision of an old man who tells her that she is Tiriki (although he never bothers to explain to her what he means). Igraine is also quite possibly Tiriki/Eilantha, in accordance with the dream/vision she has of herself and Uther while in Londinium.
