Answer: Caillean and Viviane

When Eilan is speaking to Caillean soon after meeting her she recognizes her as Isarma. When Ana is in labor she calls Viviane Isarma. Dierna is also most likely Isarma, since it is she who recognizes Teleri as Adsartha.

Answer: 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. Ana is also most likely Adsartha, since it is she who recognizes Viviane as Isarma. (It is my personal opinion that Morgaine is also meant to be Adsartha, although there is nothing in the books to support this theory).

25. Which of the following is an incarnation of Tiriki/Eilantha?

Answer: 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.
