The Ocean of Tears surrounds the land of Ea believed to be the seat of Blimnorian civilization. Much of Blimnorian mythology speaks of this ocean once being dry before filling with the tears of the goddess Ilar. While there is little to support such lofty creationist ideas, scientists have discovered a mountain range beneath the ocean that suggests that there was once a land bridge connecting Vorduhr, Ea, and the Great Eastlands, so there is some credence to the notion that ancestors could have migrated freely.
