Soléa

Soléa, or Solea, was an island near Taon and Ea. It was sunk about a thousand years before the events of A Wizard of Earthsea by the Enemy of Morred. The island's former location is marked on modern maps with a white space or whirlpool.
== History ==
Soléa was home to some of the original mages of Earthsea, the Rune Makers, along with Ea. It is likely non-magical forms of writing originated from the area as well. 
As told in the Song of the Young King, King Morred of Enlad passed by Soléa on his way back from a diplomatic mission to Havnor. There he saw Elfarran amongst the orchards of Soléa. Instead of continuing onto Enlad, he stayed with Elfarran and they fell in love. As a symbol of their love he gifted her a bond ring and they married. 
However, a wizard known only as the Enemy of Morred or the Wandlord desired Elfarran for himself and threatened to destroy all of Earthsea if she was not given to him. They couple refused so he used an enchantment to turn Morred's people against him, causing a war. Elfarran returned to Soléa with their son Serriadh. The Wandlord followed her, but her power was strongest in the Sprrings of Ensa where she hid so drove him back.
As he fled the Enemy made her brother Salan into a gebbeth, or instrument, of his evil plans. Using Salan, he lead Morred into a trap in the Jaws of Enlad. Morred's forces were decimated but miraculously Morred discovered his enemy's true name in raindrops in the dust. He was then able to counter his enemy and they fought until they killed each other in the Sea of Ea. Enraged the Enemy sent a great wave to destroy Soléa. It was unable to be stopped by anyone except Morred himself.
Elfarran knew of the calamity upon Morred's death. She evacuated the island while sending her son on a basket of willow wood along with the ring which would bear her name. Elfarran remained on the island, singing The Lament for the White Enchanter until the island drowned.
