** '''Jahībušanī Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Jaíbošaní''; Nor. ''kix Gjaħibuxaní''; 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. | ** '''Jahībušanī Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Jaíbošaní''; Nor.

* '''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.

''xotá pureħ kjosîħ''; 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. | ||
** '''Orcish Straits''' (Cer.: ''cárotósio orógiodon''; 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. | ** '''Orcish Straits''' (Cer.: ''cárotósio orógiodon''; Nor.

** '''Skyrdegan Inner Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion terósi Sucirodágoron''; Nor. ''kix prait Xkirdaigiħ''; Sky.: ''skyrdegan szavyk''; Chl.: ''ṣkurdauri jariā'' <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. | ** '''Skyrdegan Inner Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion terósi Sucirodágoron''; Nor.

''xotá pureħ hexuniħ''; Chl.: ''lalla maichleyutei 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. | ||
