Category talk:Oceans and Seas

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? Gnaash 17:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

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. --Kunama 14:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Code-wise, all named areas are their own tangible area, which can be viewed via SHIP INFO (like using SURVEY) and are thus mutually exclusive. Lore-wise, this is not the case. Everything exists within Achaea's four major Oceans with Seas and/or Reaches within each (and sometimes spanning more than one ocean too). Asara 15:06, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
