As Boudewijn has said, "indirectly," although it doesn't have to be the
Black Sea that they emerge from.  Islands have appeared in the Morris
Dam of the San Gabriel Mountains in California, so I imagine that they
could probably emerge in one of Andal's seas, somewhere, although it's
more difficult.  Earth is easy.  I'm sure Boudewijn is correct in
assuming that stranded Teonim have picked bits of Denden up from
earth scholars.

It seems that they have!  It came by way of famous scholar Padraic
Brown.
