Sedenya. After all, she's a Sun goddess and not an Earth goddess, and is known to be the sun goddess of the elves. (I can't remember where I know this from, but it's pretty certain). And the Teshnan Sun God is Somash, not Solf (opium, deviance and suicide).

Apart from these two basic mistakes, I'm sure the rest of your brainwave is brilliant... what do you mean, "there's nothing left of it"?

Eating horses scares horse-nomads who depend on them. We don't yet know about any Teshnans who are *that* dependent on elephants. (It would be mean to pick on Sandy's Long-Nose Praxian "tribe"). And horse-eating is Yara Aranis's speciality, not Gorgorma's, making the parallel suspect.
