Ocean
From Paragon
An ocean is a large body of water which covers much of the surface of Tela. To distinguish oceans from other bodies of water, a broad and largely ambiguous method of classification is employed by geographers.

Oceans
Usually, only the three largest bodies of water are called oceans. These oceans sometimes referred to as world oceans, as they cover much of the surface of Tela. These are:
Seas
Smaller bodies of saline water are may be too small to meet the traditional criteria of an ocean and thus are given titles of a smaller connotation. Seas of note are:
- Olanderrean Sea, marked by mainland Elora and the island of Antaria
- Dehontor Sea, bordered by eastern Qia, Kanelara and Hydrosia

Straits
A strait is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses. Some straits of note are:
- Asch Strait, separating Elora from Nafrea
- Bergougnoux Strait, separating Sro Jhapun from mainland Kanelara
- Lasban Strait, separating eastern Qia from Kanelara
- Strait of Paguay, separating North and South Alondia
Rivers
A river is a large natural waterway, typically of fresh water, as opposed to salt water found in oceans, seas and straits. Some rivers of note are:
- Mahr River, the traditional border between north and south Elora
- Skyang River, the longest river in Qia
- Rosal River, the river upon which civilisation was founded
- Raezon River, the river which fosters the growth of the dense South Alondian jungles
- River Albans, the river that demarcates the border between the Bapine and Affolk regions of North Alondia
- Tirbes River, which nearly splits Kanelara into two
- Wachusitt River, former site of the United Affolk Republic and current home to some of the world's richest nations.
