Porre is the largest city on the southern continent of Zenan, and is home to Tata in the middle ages and the Porre Mayor in the modern era. The family line of mayors was known for its greed until Crono changed time in order to procure the Sun Stone from the current mayor, who had received it from the Sun Keep. Porre is mostly quiet apart from this event.

Chrono Cross
Colonists from Porre settled El Nido in 920 A.D.. The nation of Porre rose to power due to external influences outside of time after 1000 A.D., becoming a fearsome country of expansionist military might. Embracing the new technology of guns and a system of conscription for military service, Porre marched to the Kingdom of Guardia in 1005 A.D. and laid waste to Truce and Guardia Castle. The last defender of Guardia, a sword-bearing knight, died when his chest was rent by a foe from Porre. The Masamune was stolen after this (it was possibly wielded by the final defender of Guardia), and presumably given to Porre forces or command. After the Fall of Guardia, Porre established the Black Wind unit and began planning for the invasion of El Nido. This was accomplished in Home World in 1017 A.D., after the Acacia Dragoons had been led to their deaths in the Dead Sea. Termina was decked and adorned in Porre's symbolism, and blue-clad soldiers filled the streets. Another World's El Nido would not fall to Porre until three years later, when in 1020 A.D., their forces invaded the island while the Acacia Dragoons were dispersed in confusion by Lynx. Part of the reason for invading was to find the Frozen Flame; Norris carried this charge as head of the Black Wind unit, and investigated El Nido after the invasion. He eventually joined Serge, and helped defeat a sadistic Porre general who planned to torture Riddel.
