** '''Carpan Sea''', '''Nähärian Sea''', or '''Eastern Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Cárpo''; Nor. ''kix Neħer''; Chl.: ''eppillænani jariā'' <small>"Sea of Eppilläinen"</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''', '''Nähärian Sea''', or '''Eastern Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion Cárpo''; 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.

* '''Rondian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Róndenon''; Nor. ''xotá Rûdanys'' (from Róndan, an area in northwestern Védren); Chl.: (partially) ''maichleyutei camimairān'' <small>"Great Southern Ocean"</small>; (partially) ''naleiyutei kūdrivi mairān'' <small>"East Fárásenian Ocean"</small>), the large ocean between Védren, western Márusúturon, Ogúviutón, and reaching to the northeastern shores of Fárásen. Its eastern limit is not clearly defined, as it is a line from Cape Dhūrandėvi - 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 Ogúviutón 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 to the westernmost point of Ogúviutón (a line very close to the Cerian Prime Meridian) to be a different ocean, the East Fárásenian Ocean (''naleiyutei 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 (''maichleyutei camimairān''), as it lies south of most of the Chlouvānem Inquisition. | * '''Rondian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Róndenon''; Nor. ''xotá Rûdanys'' (from Róndan, an area in northwestern Védren); Chl.: (partially) ''maichleyutei camimairān'' <small>"Great Southern Ocean"</small>; (partially) ''naleiyutei kūdrivi mairān'' <small>"East Fárásenian Ocean"</small>), the large ocean between Védren, western Márusúturon, Ogúviutón, and reaching to the northeastern shores of Fárásen.

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 Ogúviutón (a line very close, in its southern part, to the Cerian Prime Meridian) to be a different ocean, the East Fárásenian Ocean (''naleiyutei 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 (''maichleyutei camimairān''), as it lies south of most of the Chlouvānem Inquisition. | ||
** '''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. ''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. | ||
* '''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.
