Characters of the mangrove regent heritage have been raised among a community of mangrove dryads and carry its values and customs.
When gales and hurricanes rage across the oceans of the fey realms, the neighborhoods of mangrove dryads provide the first line of protection to their communities. The mangroves themselves break the wind, preventing it from roaring through the lands beyond at its full force. The magically inclined among them then use their arcane skills to further blunt and redirect winds, while the more physical members of the community build stormbreaks of felled trees. Between storm seasons, the mangrove dryads prepare for the next one, all the while boasting and betting on how effective their individual works will be at reducing the storm’s sting.
On the Material Plane, mangrove dryad communities continue their efforts to aid others. They gladly provide guides to people seeking to move through their beloved coastal swamps. During the daylight hours, while they work, the mangrove regents are serious about moving their charges safely through the region, and are quick to divert course around quicksand, nesting alligators, and reeking fens. At rest though, their camps are full of laughter and music as they play games and songs to entertain themselves and each other.
