* '''Rondian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Róndenon''; Nor. ''xotá Rûdanys'' (from Róndan, an area in northwestern Védren); Chl.: (partially) ''maichleyuñci camimairān'' <small>"Great Southern Ocean"</small>; (partially) ''naleiyuñci kūdrivi mairān'' <small>"East Fárásenian Ocean"</small>), the large ocean between Védren, western Márusúturon, Ovítioná, and reaching to the northeastern shores of Fárásen. Its eastern limit is not clearly defined, as it is a line from Cape Dhūrandēvi - the southernmost point of Márusúturon and of the core area of the Chlouvānem Inquisition - to one of five different points on the central part of the northern coast of Ovítioná depending on the source. Chlouvānem sources have a completely different definition as they consider the waters from Fárásen to a line from the southernmost point of the Keros Peninsula in Védren - also the southernmost point of the Védrenian mainland - to the westernmost point of Ovítioná (a line very close, in its southern part, to the Cerian Prime Meridian) to be a different ocean, the East Fárásenian Ocean (''naleiyuñci kūdrivi mairān''), and the core Rondian Ocean is not distinguished from the Antipodal Ocean to the east, forming a larger ocean called the Great Southern Ocean (''maichleyuñci camimairān''), as it lies south of most of the Chlouvānem Inquisition. | * '''Rondian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Róndenon''; Nor.

** '''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.

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 Tandameipa island at the southeastern end of Márusúturon, cutting through the Nukahucē atoll chain, and reaching the northeasternmost point of Ovítioná) is known as a separate ocean, the Ocean of Islands (''lanāyumi mairān''), so called because of its large number of high oceanic islands. | ||
** '''Jahībušanī Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Jaíbošaní''; Nor. ''kix Gjaħibuxaní''; Chl. ''jahībušanī ga jaryā''), 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.

''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.
