The Aryth Ocean is the ocean to the west of the main continent, between it and the land of the Seanchan.
Ishamael claims that the ocean is analogous to the World Sea of the Age of Legends. The Aryth Ocean is the largest sea in the world and is considerably larger than the Morenal Ocean that separates Shara from Seanchan. It is unknown why the Seanchan prefer to take the much longer route across the Aryth during their current military campaign, although ocean currents and the weather may play a role.

The Sea Folk island archipelagos of the Aile Jafar, Aile Somera, and Aile Dashar lie in the Aryth Ocean. The island of Tremalking and the peninsula of Windbiter's Finger mark the boundary between the Aryth Ocean and the Sea of Storms. Bandar Eban, Falme, and Tanchico are major ports on the Aryth Ocean in the Westlands, while Shon Kifar and Rampore are major cities on the eastern coast of Seanchan. The town or city of Merinloe also lies close to the Aryth Ocean in Seanchan.
