| The '''Dramidj Ocean''' circles the continent of [[Telchuria]] and, thus, the north pole of the world of [[Oerth]], interrupted on occasion by ice bridges. The [[Icy Sea]] may be part of it; the Jothumheim Sea, Sea of Hyperboria, and the [[Gulf of Ghayar]] certainly are.

| *The green waters near the [[Baklunish]] states of [[Ekbir]] and [[Zeif]] are unnaturally warm, keeping the [[Baklunish Basin]] more temperate than it would otherwise be. In winter, fogs and icebergs are still a hazard. Beneath the water swim deadly puddings and dragon turtles, and in the skies fly [[dragon]]s and [[roc]]s. On the coast of [[Blackmoor]], the Baklunish-descended [[Guryik]] hunt. The [[Mouqollad Consortium]] sends merchant fleets across the ocean regularly on journeys through the various archipelagos that may last months or years.

| *The Gulf of Ghayar is the southernmost arm of the Dramidj Ocean, dividing the [[Baklunish]] lands from north-central [[Oerik]]. It is populated by [[merfolk]], especially between the [[Janasibs]] and the nation of [[Komal]].
| |
| | |
| *The Sea of Hyperboria borders Telchuria, the [[High Khanate]], and [[Orcreich]]. On the western edge of the sea, a huge ice bridge known as Gigantea forms around a chain of islands that is also the largest mountain range in the world.
| |
| | |
| *The Icy Sea is considered either part of the Dramidj Ocean or part of the [[Solnor Ocean]]. It remains frozen except during [[Greyhawk Calendar|High Summer]]. The waters are dangerous even in summer due to thick fogs and icebergs. Whales and [[leviathan]]s swim these chill waters. The [[Suloise]]-descended [[Zeai]] and [[Thillonrian Peninsula]] barbarians sail these waters.
| |
| | |
| *The Jothumheim Sea lies on the other side of Gigantea between Telchuria and the elven lands of [[Ravilla]].
| |
| | |
| ==Islands==
| |
| The [[Ataphads]], Janasibs, and [[Qaya-Bureis]] are archipelagos within the Dramidj near the Baklunish lands. The [[Pinnacles of Azor'alq]] also protrude from these waters.
