In the forgotten heart of a drowned forest, where light dares only to trickle through the canopy, the Master of the Mangrove keeps silent watch. Once a humble heron, it was chosen by the swamp itself to serve as sentinel of its secrets. Perched upon a ruined fountain, long claimed by roots and time, the bird radiates an eerie authority—part guardian, part ghost.

The veins of decay crawling over stone mirror the tangled wisdom of the marsh, where life and rot coexist in delicate balance. The heron’s feathers shimmer faintly in the half-light, a pale beacon against the suffocating greens and shadows. To wanderers who stumble upon this realm, its presence is both omen and guide: those who approach with reverence may be granted safe passage, but the heedless risk becoming swallowed by the mire.

Legends tell that the Master of the Mangrove is not bound to one form—it is the embodiment of the swamp’s eternal memory, appearing as bird, mist, or reflection in still water. Here, it lingers on its high perch, overseeing the slow reclamation of stone by root, water, and shadow.

The swamp bows to no one, but through the Master, it speaks.
