There is little known of the Marid as they were proud and independent, and considered everyone beneath them. However, the curiosity of the material plane was known by all genie kinds and so they chose to be seen by humanoids. The ancient journals state that marids enjoyed flattery and when a human addressed them they were expected to show honor. Some Marid would capture humanoids to create their own homes. They could be cruel and had a chaotic nature, which was noted by those who met them. During the time that the marid entered the material plane and the humanoid parents did not know how much water a water genasi needed to survive, so sent the children off into the seas. Some expecting the marid to find and raise them.
