Barely a village. Holed walls, roofs in disrepair, stilts leaning dangerously. It looks to have been assembled by drunks in a hurry. Dock carefully."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Mangrove_College|Mangrove College|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

''"Sages, scholars, philosophers, naturalists, poets, dreamers - here to pursue their rarefied ideals in a land of muddy fecundity."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Mangrove_College|Compile a Port Report|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

The Mangrove College is a home for free thinkers from all across the [[The Unterzee|Unterzee]], a place where they don't have to worry about anything - except for their shabby living conditions.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Mangrove_College|Compile a Port Report|Sunless Sea}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Mangrove_College|Mangrove College|Sunless Sea}}</ref> The isles' vegetation is a source of easy sustenance, and the College lacks any significant dangers, provided that one doesn't enter the marshlands surrounding it.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Mangrove_College|Gather supplies|Sunless Sea}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Mangrove_College|Into the Wisp-Ways|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

''"Narrow waterways and quaggy paths. Marsh-lights and mud. Now and then, parasynthetic mosses like shaggy curtains. Now and then, a questing tentacle."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|The Wisp-Ways|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

The muddy swamps that surround the College are home to a variety of dangers, like [[Bestiary#Amphigator|amphigators]], giant leeches, and enormous ants.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|Amphigator!|Sunless Sea}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|A mirror-surfaced pool|Sunless Sea}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|A calamity of ants|Sunless Sea}}</ref> Some sections of the marsh have a very strong connection to [[Parabola]], making them even more perilous.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|A shimmering web|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

[[Food in the Neath#Solacefruit|Solacefruit]] can be found here in very large numbers, suggesting the swamps as the parasitic solacefruit vine's point of origin.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|No-One's Orchard|Sunless Sea}}</ref> The isles' humid climate also makes them a perfect environment for fungi, like [[blemmigans]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|A fort infested|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

The marshlands also contain many other oddities; from goats that carry precious [[Scintillack#Blue Scintillack|blue scintillack]] with them,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|Blue|Sunless Sea}}</ref> to a sandstone pillar that recounts a tale of a person's journey to the [[Salt|East]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wisp-Ways|The Pillar of Riddles|Sunless Sea}}</ref>
