Port Ormos

Port Ormos

Subarea

Port Ormos is a subarea located in Ardravi Valley, Dharma Forest, Sumeru.

Port Ormos is the largest port in Sumeru and serves as a hub for trading and travel. It is located beneath two giant trees, between which a river runs fromSumeru City to the port.

Though parts of Port Ormos are under the supervision of the Akademiya, smuggling and other illegal activity is more common at Port Ormos than in Sumeru City.^[1] Prices also tend to be lower than in Sumeru City.^[2] Most long-term residents in the port are traders and laborers who grew up in the area,^[3] but a number ofEremite merceneries from various factions can also be found there. Students often come to the port when academic life gets too stressful, and it is even considered good luck to some.^[4]

Kaveh was responsible for the design and construction of Port Ormos' arch bridge.^[5]

Lore[]

According to the researcherFarahnaz, Port Ormos was originally known as Orghana, the city of the Twenty-Nine Deys. These Deys were all leaders of pirate crews who created an alliance with each other to create a fair division of power and maintain peace and prosperity. However, infighting led to instability, and all of the Deys were eventually wiped out by an attack by a particularly powerful sea monster.^[9]

An alternate account inThe Shepherd and the Magic Bottle claims that the city of the Twenty-Nine Deys was called Orghana, and Port Ormos is mentioned separately in the same book. The book is set fifteen years after Port Ormos' construction, after a boy from the Gravelsong Dunes living near the city discovers a magic bottle containing a jinni, but the book's credibility is questioned in its description.

Trivia[]

• It is possible that Orghana is the original city which Port Ormos was later built over, and Farahnaz is retroactively calling the original city by its modern name. (See the Etymology section below for details.)

Etymology[]

• Ormos (Greek:όρμος) is a Greek word which means "cove" or "small bay."
• Port Ormos may also be a reference to theKingdom of Ormus (or Hormuz) (Persian:هرمز), which was located in southern Iran and controlled a major port city along theStrait of Hormuz, similar to Port Ormos' location in southern Sumeru. The etymology of Ormus/Hormuz has been debated, but the prevailing theory is that it comes from Hormazd/Ohrmuzd (Persian:اورمُزد), the Middle Persian name for the Zoroastrian creator deity and Lord of Wisdom,Ahura Mazda.
  • Hormuz Island, which was named after the Kingdom of Ormus/Hormuz and was later the location of the kingdom itself, was known as Organa (Ancient Greek:Όργανα) to the ancient Greeks. This is likely the etymological basis for "Orghana" inThe Shepherd and the Magic Bottle.
  • The name Ormazd, likely derived fromOhrmuzd whom the real-life Kingdom of Ormus was named after, appears inThe Tale of Shiruyeh and Shirin as the name of the third-to-last ruler of the ancient city ofGurabad. It remains to be seen whether any connection exists betweenOrmos andOrmazd in the world of Teyvat.
• Orghana (Orakina or Ergene Khatun) was anOirat princess of the Mongol Empire and Empress of theChagatai Khanate. She was a daughter of Torolchi, chief of the Oirats andChecheyikhen, daughter ofGenghis Khan.
