The Sandy Mariners is a detachment of men-at-arms under Dame Patience. At any time there are generally 10-30 gentlemen serving part time as road patrols, and the occasional sortie into Chetwood Forest to cull the beasts within. At need, the gentry can swell these ranks to as much as 3,000 in times of war. This army is famed for its clever use of catchpoles as an anti-cavalry weapon. They are equally famous for their gleaming white enameled armor. It chips very easily, showing all battle damage in stark relief. Veterans of this regiment often look impressively grizzled.
