Layout
Merchant Port consists of a large hard platform at the bottom with a low soft platform on each side and a large water wheel at the center. With hazards turned off, the water wheel is stationary and contains two small, higher platforms near its top. With hazards turned on, it is planned for the water wheel to contain four platforms, one on each side, and slowly turn counterclockwise.

Origin
Merchant Port originates as a stage in Rivals of Aether in which, much like its appearance in Fraymakers, it serves as the home stage of Orcane. It is set near the coast of Water Town, the merchant capital of Aether, where residents such as Orcane live and the Water Trading Company does business. The layout of the stage in Fraymakers is nearly identical to that of the stage in Rivals of Aether; particularly, the layout with hazards turned on is based on the stage in Aether mode, whereas with hazards turned off it is based on the stage in Basic mode. The most notable difference on the Fraymakers stage is the lack of walls extending to the bottom blast line.

Trivia

 * Merchant Port, along with Stratostar and Backyard, was one of the three stages shown for the game's reveal through Kickstarter and one of the five stages initially planned for the base game.
