* '''Doron Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Doron''; Nor. ''xotá Dôron'' (from a mythological figure of Western Púrítonen natives); Chl. ''kaitajašu ga mairān'' (from ''Kāitazashu'', "East Water" in the Toyubeshi language)), lying between Márusúturon, Púríton, and the northern shores of Queáten. Its northern border is internationally agreed as the northern Polar Circle between the continental islands associated to the two continents. | * '''Doron Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Doron''; Nor.

* '''Northern Polar Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa púrodon časúnnon''; Nor. ''xotá pureħ kjosîħ''; Chl.: ''lalla kehamyuñci mairān'' <small>"High Northern Ocean"</small>), the ocean lying north of all continental landmasses up to the North Pole. Due to the continents' position, the geographical "Polar Ocean" actually extends as far south as 27°N in central Márusúturon. | * '''Northern Polar Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa púrodon časúnnon''; Nor.

''kartoig euriħ''; Chl.: ''etekleṃrān šimbroe''), a series of skerry-filled straits lying between northwestern Márusúturon (and far northeastern Evandor) and the "orcish continent" of Gurdugal. | ||

''kix prait Xkirdaigiħ''; Sky.: ''skyrdegan szavyk''; Chl.: ''ṣurṭāgi jaryā'' <small>"Sea of Skyrdagor"</small>), a sea inside Márusúturon named after the Skyrdegan islands that are the most prominent geographical feature inside it. It is, practically, a closed sea for about half of the year, as the only possible connection to the other seas is by the Orcish Straits (both of whose ends are above the Polar Circle, and usually freeze during the winter), as circumnavigating either Gurdugal or eastern Márusúturon would mean reaching latitudes of over 84°N, well into the permanent sea ice area. | ||
* '''Southern Polar Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa púrodon quéšonion''; Nor. ''xotá pureħ hexuniħ''; Chl.: ''lalla maichleyuñci mairān'' <small>"High Southern Ocean"</small>), the ocean lying south of all continental landmasses up to the South Pole; its northern limits are the southern coasts of the three southern hemisphere continents. | * '''Southern Polar Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa púrodon quéšonion''; Nor.
