Its northern limit is usually defined as a straight line between the northernmost point of Evandor (on Holenagika) at 71ºN and the northernmost point of Púríton at 67ºN; its southernmost limit between Védren and Púriton is considered to be between Cape Sóroten on Púríton (5ºN) and the westernmost point of Cáren Island off Védren (8ºN). | * '''Nadrenic Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Nadoréneo''; Nor.

''kix Êvandurin''; Chl.: ''hålinaici jaryā'' <small>"Sea of Holenagika"</small>), the inner sea of Evandor, officially a part of the Nadrenic Ocean, delimited by the main landmass to the south (whose shores are mainly divided between Ceria and Nordúlik) and Holenagika to the north. Its western end, the Holenagic Strait, connects to the main Nadrenic Ocean, while the northern end, the Gathura Straits (whose narrowest part is just north of the Polar Circle), connects to the Northern Polar Ocean. | ||
** '''Carpan Sea''', '''Najian Sea''', or '''Eastern Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Cáropo''; Nor. ''kix Naig''; Chl.: ''vīṭadælti jaryā'' <small>"Sea of Wírdaryȁngdé"</small>), the inner sea which is the easternmost part of the Nadrenic Ocean, enclosed insider Márusúturon and Védren except for a small passage at its western end - the Ránon Strait - at the westernmost point of Márusúturon. | ** '''Carpan Sea''', '''Najian Sea''', or '''Eastern Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Cáropo''; Nor.

* '''Védrenian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Védurenon''; Nor. ''xotá Vêdrenin''; Chl.: ''šortumi mairān'' <small>"Ocean of Harpies"</small>), the ocean lying between Védren (NE), Fárásen (SE), Ceránento (SW), and Púríton (NW). The northern limit is the southern limite of the Nadrenic Ocean; the western limit is a line from Cape Ħaig, the northwesternmost tip of Ceránento, to Bérin Point, the southernmost point of Púríton; while the eastern limit is a line from Cape Tunar, the southernmost point of Védren, to Cape Áburon, the northernmost point of Fárásen. There is no internationally agreed limit to the south between Ceránento and Fárásen, nor internationally agreed definitions for that area of the world ocean. | * '''Védrenian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Védurenon''; Nor.
