Although Aislinn did not himself accompany Tyrion's army, he assigned six vessels' worth of Lothern sea guard to the campaign. Almost all came from the battalions of the Spears of Dabbarloc, who had honed their skills on four different continents. The Spears of Dabbarloc took their name from one of Mathlann's many children - in this case, the fronded king said to dwell in the waters of the Inner Sea. According to legend, Dabbarloc enfolded his foes in a clammy embrace before consuming them. The sea guard who bore his name fought in a similar fashion, surrounding the enemy before overwhelming them.[1a]
