I'm just starting the Lightstone-about 100 pages in. I really like it and I really don't mind the similar references-there's so much to take in that a little similarity helps.
There is a "good Goddess" named Astoreth ala Tamara Ten-Astoreth
There is a tribe of the Sarni called Danladi-Danladi wave
Val's rap on the Ishkans for using the word "I" is reminicient of Alexzandar Soli's hardcore upbringing of Leopold on Simoom
The rare shatterwood trees

Ea was initially founded by "star people" so shared names may not that far fetched. No reason not to think that this is a planet that shares some kind of proximity to Icefall's galaxy so The Ieldra and The Vild could be understandable-Maybe Ea is a Silicon God construct, for all we know, or it could simply be one of the multitude of Hanuman's incredibly speed-up "Doll" worlds
