Oxport



Oxport City, Gardshire is the most populated city of southern Corburn. With a population of around 195,000, Oxport is considered to be one of the 14 most-prominent cities of Corburn. In 2013 Oxport and its not-too-distant neighbour Bridgeham founded the region of Gardshire which subsequently became a member of the NEAR alliance until the proper unification of Corburn in December 2013.

Oxport has the second-largest commercial port of Corburn, behind only Hull. Oxport's port was historically famous for the transport of goods between Eucasa and Urklånd as well as from the Hammerhead Peninsula to mainland Eucasa through the River Locke.

Etymology
Oxport City's name comes from archaic Kohr language. The "Ox" part comes from the obsolete language's word "Okhz", meaning "wealthy" or "prosperous", added to the English word "port" (which also came from Kohr's word "pohrdt"), after Oxport's large commercial trading port.
