** '''Térasen Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Térasen''; Nor. ''kix Terasen''; Central Dabuke koiné: ''Terasi tambazi''; Chl.: ''dabūki camivṝṭheya'' <small>"Great Dabuke Bay"</small>), the northernmost inlet of the Rondian Ocean, reaching the shores of the isthmus of Tabal, usually considered the border between Védren and Márusúturon. | ** '''Térasen Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Térasen''; Nor.

* '''Antipodal Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa táserótodon''; Nor. ''xotá taseroitiħ''; Chl.: (partially) ''maichleyutei camimairān'' <small>"Great Southern Ocean"</small>, (partially) ''lanāyumi mairān'' <small>"Ocean of Islands</small>), so called because it lies on the opposite side of the planet to Evandor (even if not all Evandorian areas are actually antipodal to it), lying between eastern Márusúturon, Ogúviutón, southern Púríton and northwestern Ceránento, including most of Queáten inside its waters; its northeasternmost limit - between Márusúturon and Púríton - is usually considered to be the Equator, which cuts across Ecáréton, the main landmass of Queáten. Chlouvānem sources consider most of it to be part of the Great Southern Ocean, but the eastern third of the Evandorian definition (east of a line starting from the southernmost point of Tanomaliė island at the southeastern end of Márusúturon, cutting through the Nukahucė atoll chain, and reaching the northeasternmost point of Ogúviutón) is known as a separate ocean, the Ocean of Islands (''lanāyumi mairān''), so called because of its large number of high oceanic islands. | * '''Antipodal Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa táserótodon''; Nor.

** ''' | ** '''Jahībušanī Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Jaíbošaní''; Nor. ''kix Djaħibuxaní''; Chl. ''jahībušanī ga jariā''), a large sea inside the Antipodal Ocean which is surrounded on three sides by territories of the Chlouvānem Inquisition, including some of its most densely populated parts such as the Jade Coast or the eastern part of the Lāmiejāya-Lāmberah-Lirāh plain. | ||
* '''Doron Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Doron''; Nor. ''xotá Dôron'' (from a mythological figure of Western Púrítonen natives); Chl. ''kaitasašu ga mairān'' (from ''Kāitazashu'', "East Water" in the Kans-Tsan 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 rátóndon''; Nor. ''xotá pureħ ratiħ''; Chl.: ''lalla kehamyutei 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 rátóndon''; Nor.
