Port Marsh carries a name that sounds humble, almost forgettable. That is fitting, because it was never meant to be grand.

It was named after King Locke’s first house pet, a marsh hound he found wandering the wetlands during Bera’s earliest days. The story says the animal followed him for three days without food, refusing to leave his side as he surveyed the future capital. Locke kept the hound and named it Marsh, claiming that loyalty built kingdoms more reliably than steel.

When the first dock was constructed along the western inlets, Locke insisted it bear the same name. A reminder that even the smallest companions could anchor something lasting.

Port Marsh remains modest in size, but vital in purpose.
