When the king was traveling, the king appoint his trusted servant and old friend, Laird Navarch of Sea and War Bhaltair Guaire, as his seneschal.
Defences

The landward side of Garagorm was protected by an 80 ft. (24 Meter) wall. The city was further protected by the Citadel of the Caer Cú Chulainn as well as three gates which were essentially castles themselves.
