Ornyenka-Sthulista Strait

The Ornyenka-Sthulista Strait is a stretch of water, at its thinnest, only about 27 km between the Gemurtrakian Borzh Kasu Peninsula in Osamia and the Sthulista Peninsula of Mitruhmoer in Eastern Skephon. It connects the Kunichi Sea, which feeds into the Locufaric Ocean, to the Osamian Ocean and is the only stretch of water to connect the Locufaric and Osamian ocean west of the Osamian continent. It is regarded as one of the most important stretches of water for international trade, alongside the strait of [Abayad], and the Kidal Sea, and was the only definitive route around the !Oldworld until the discovery of the Kidal Sea route.

Etymology
the name of the Ornyenka-Sthulista strait originates from two sources on either side of the strait. Ornyenka, literally meaning great mouth, originated from the Proto-Gemurtrakian Gadram Empire, and remained a popular term for most Osamian people following the confederation and Northern Imperial Period. Sthulista originates from the Mudruvese peninsula of the same name, which became a popular term of reference for most Skephonese travellers. Both seperate regions typically refer to the strait by a singluar name depending on their region of origin however the strait is legally referred to by both names. This combination of the name originates from the Osamian Collective Convention of Maritime Law, a regional agreement over maritime function in Osamian and regional waters. The convention defined, and legally changed the name of, the strait to show and represent shared ownership between Mitruhmoer and Gemurtrak of the stretch of water.
