A general question, largely for Delphinus who is the current Geography master: if a Sea is a smaller region of an Ocean, is it exclusive to one ocean? For example, there are mentions of Lemnian Sea being part of Notic and Eusian oceans. I realize it represents the border between them, but for consistency, should there be one single, proper designation?

: The Lemnian Sea seems to be an area of the sea all on its own. For example, sailing northward, locale in ship info will show Notic Ocean, and past a certain latitude, it'll show Lemnian Sea, then some while later, The Eusian Sea. Continuing northeastish, you then get The Riparium Reaches of the Eusian Ocean. I'm going to guess at going by the font sizes on that massive map of his. --[[User:Kunama|Kunama]] 14:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC) | : The Lemnian Sea seems to be an area of the sea all on its own.

::By the by, yes, seas are contained within single oceans. As for which seas go where, that gets a bit sketchier; tritonic territories could easily cross oceanic borders, though I've gotten confirmation that the Caspiite Reaches are within the Borean Ocean. On remembering that, I guess that means I should change the [[Bay of Dardanos]] article. --{{User:Delphinus/sig1}} 15:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC) | ::By the by, yes, seas are contained within single oceans.

We can say that -some- seas are contained within single oceans (because it's true!), but that relationship is not true for all seas, especially Reaches! If there are multiple designations, by all means we should include all oceans to which a sea's or Reaches's location is pertinent! Everything looks good so far, though.
