Suladari, the Tide's Lance!

  

The Suladari is the force which protects the Realm of Delphina, possessing a central focus on sea operations but are otherwise also charged with the duty of ensuring law is abided on both Land and Sea. It's founding stems back to the Atrellyan invasion headed by Demon King Indras where the Northern Seas were drowned in the peril of the demonspawn horde. Taking advantage of Nereides' Sirenia, much of the force is comprised of sirenians given their natural advantages in water.

  

The Suladari are currently stationed within the Duchy of Nereides, headed by Duchess Melionette Alinteau Meandersong.

The leadership is headquartered in their Flagship, The HLS Navy One (Her Lumin King's Navy One)

Mission Set of the Tide's Lance!

  
The Tide's Lance is a highly trained, and specialized force who primarily function as sailors and law enforcement officers who are expected to perform at a high proficiency across all levels of conflict on the battlefield, however, the Tide's Lance is trained to achieve success across a specific mission set. In addition to this, the Tide's Lance has its own specific strategies, and tactics whilst engaging with their specific mission set.
 
Maritime and Amphibious operations

As long as there is water involved, the Suladari are expected to achieve their objectives, however they can also be deployed in costal regions, or on land. As of 2150AC, the Suladari have been forced to adapt to the demands presented by those who seek to threaten the Lumin King's wondrous Realms, which primarily includes land based operations.
 
Intelligence gathering & Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols

The Suladari can be deployed to gather intelligence, or conduct reconnaissance operations on enemy forces, in friendly, denied, dangerous, or enemy territory. For this reason, the Suladari have developed their own specific tactics to engage in reconnaissance, and patrol operations.

Target Acquisition, and Access Denial

The Tide's Lance can be deployed to ascertain high value targets, which includes personnel, structures, and even assets, such as boats or otherwise. Additionally, they can be tasked with destroying them. In tandem with this, the Suladri often conduct asset or area denial operations, specifically preventing enemies of the realm from encroaching into the Realm's Borders, and posing a threat to non-combatant civilians.

Rescue Operations

The Suladari if directed or authorized, will engage in rescue operations to retrieve Delphinian citizens from captivity. Typically these operations are highly secretive endeavors, so nothing is known on the tactics, or strategies of the Tide's Lance concerning this particular type of operation.

Law Enforcement

On land, the Suladari are tasked with enforcing the laws of the Realms of Delphina by the letter of the word.
