Welcome, be it friend or foe, to the home of Emperor Tamarin and Red Mangrove.

This is a private residence, and as such it is asked that you do not tread inside without the owner's permission. Please don't ask if you can buy Red Mangrove, as she is not for sale- slavery is not permitted.
If you'd like to explore the rest of where you've stumbled to, then please backtrack your trail and head on over to Cantumwood, Forest across the sea, and King of nations.

And now, continue watching to experience the little and big adventures of Mangrove and Emperor Tamarin (or, as we like to call him, 'Old Man').

Mother Tree
Red Mangrove's mother tree lives a little ways outside Cantumwood's borders, in the Cantum Marshes. It lives somewhere in the center, near a grove of wild fern and lily, and is one of the younger trees in the marsh- though that still may be quite old. An interesting thing to note about this mother tree, is that the chosen branch it bore split into two halves, revealing two nymphs of the same spectrum.

STATISTICS

Name: The Branch and Bulb
Current Form: Branch and Bulb
Appearance: A dark branch with three leaves extending from one end and a bulb already showing a hint of shoot and greenery, it's not quie as fragile as it looks. In fact, the old man is pleased to say that it is tough enough to last- especially among stupid crazy younglings like his troop.

STATISTICS

Nickname: The Old Man
Species: Emperor Tamarin

Habitat: An old tree in the Cantumforest, which his troop has habited for a very, very long time. Perhaps a couple of generations, before? He makes his nest at the top, where he can keep an eye out on the others, and is safe from being bothered by the younger ones.
Family: A decent sized troop lead by a female tamarin he has known since he was a virile man. He's positive he's sired a tamarin with her before, but isn't quite so sure now.

HOME

A large tree that is situated near the center of the forest, it's thick, gnarly roots provide haven for some other land denizens, and when the berries fall, there are often many other animals scavanging under the taramin's home. With large, leafy leaves that block out most of the light, it has been around for long enough that every nook and cranny used by the tamarin have been softened and hallowed out in time and age.
The berries of the tree are unnaturally sweet-- if you can get to them. It has been defended by the current troop for a very long time, and because of a rather vicious, territorial streak that runs through the tamarin and saddleback monkeys, it has very rarely left their possession.

HOLE

In an area where it seems almost as if a branch has grown too steeply, there is a little niche with traces of an old birds nest. The old man has placed the branch and bulb there, where it is safe from predators and other herbivores too. Unfortunatly, the little ones cannot seem to leave it alone, and happen to be constantly running around with the branch and using it like a weapon. Thankfully everyone knows better than to abuse it- in the old man's words, 'it'll bring the wrath of the Great Spirit on you!'.

FAMILY

The Matriarch An old, very maternal tamarin who has the best interest of the troop in mind, she refuses to let the old man know if she has actually had any of his children- because really, it might have happened a long time ago. With a weakness for order but a strong bite whenever anyone crosses the line, she is the oldest female of the troop, and still has a couple of years left in her.
The Brother A saddleback who should have more to do in his hands than he actually seems to, he's a quick tongued young male in his prime, and has a healthy curiosity in this great spirit. Believing only in things that are in front of his eyes, he is a more abrasive, cocky version of what the old man might have been when he was in his prime.

INFORMATION

Mangroves can experience reducing conditions to at least -200 mV. One of the most visibly obvious adaptations to anoxia are root adaptations. R. mangle utilizes prop roots which grow downwards from the stem of the plant, rather than relying on roots growing upwards from the substrate. Lenticels, or pores, in the aerial roots are presumed to be the path through which oxygen is supplied to the underground root system. Fine lateral rootlets are able to accumulate in the substratum, and produce most of the underlying peat on which mangrove swamps are built.

Strongly adapted to aquatic conditions, this shrub grows "with its feet in the water." Stilt roots support the plant above the water, and other roots extend up toward the surface and aid in aeration. The roots and stems of the plant can grow immediately on contact with soil. Red mangrove is a folk remedy for angina, asthma, boils, diarrhea, dysentery, eye ailments, fever, hemorrhage, inflammation, jaundice, leprosy, sores, sorethroat, and wounds.

Red mangroves generally are found closest to the water's edge and are distinguished easily from other mangroves by their prominent prop roots which extend into the water from higher up on the stem of the plant. Red mangroves have leaves which are somewhat larger and shinier than those of other mangroves. They are further distinguished by their fruits, or propagules, which are long and pencil-shaped. While these may resemble seed pods, they are actually embryonic root structures.
