Since the Windseekers were the first ones ones to discover The Broken Lands and bring back news to Elgea, maybe they should be included in the naming of the sea? I imagine them sending a messenger to King Sigurd of Illyria, informing him of the great discovery and since King Sigurd is such a fair and friendly King, he saw it fit to reward these explorers with their efforts. They are also one of the few factions to have hubs on both continents. 
Also, because King Sigurd has no known wife, I think he might have a mythical lover... 

Maybe he fell in love with a mermaid that lives in the unnamed sea? Maybe he already knew about The Broken Lands but kept it secret? So many questions....

--

I believe, that the sea should have 2 names. The people of The Broken Lands will obviously have called the unnamed  sea something different than the people of Elgea.

--

Suggestions thus far:

* Amphitrite Dorea (A Goddess of the Sea)
* Halimeda Amphitrite (Thinking of the Sea Goddess)
* Lethe Cari (River of flowing Oblivion)

--

Hopefully I'll have some more time before the end of July to think of more lore/history/combinations.

I like the idea of the ocean having different names from the perspective of people on different sides of it.

Here are some names I thought of: 
Barren Sea
Deep Blue Sea
Overlooked Crevice
The Crevice
Forgotten Fissure Ocean
The Faulty Sea
The Hindering Sea (especially since travel from Elgea to Broken Lands is a very long process)
Immense Sea
Ocean Breach
Seaside Excursion
Tempest Seabed
Seaside Typhoon
Luminous Depths

Parlantis Sea
bit of history 

 Duchy of Parlan, one of the Grand Dukes fell in love and eventually married a mermaid princess. This would explain why, centuries later, the Parlanese have taken on some of the features of the Demersae. It also serves as a good explanation as to why the Parlanese are the only faction that these strange ocean race trade and deal with.

If Horses don't go to Heaven when they die. then I want to go where they go.
