English surname transferred to forename use, from a place name in Buckinghamshire, composed of the Old English elements mere "lake, pool" and lafe "leavings, remnants," hence, "marshland."
This territory belongs to Okeanos.
Okeanos is a respected and "feared" stallion, his reputation exceeding even that of Equinox. His enigmatic persona is something that acquires the infinite curiousity of those around him. Most horses dare not step foot in Merlowe for fear of inciting the wrath of the mysterious stallion. Merlowe itself is a beautiful coastal region with classic blue water tinged green at the crests and a marshy area with long, bitter grass. The sand is often found harboring dead sea creatures or tangles of brown seaweed, hence the name.
