The company is under contract from Yunkai and is the first to be dispatched to Slaver's Bay.[2] They later participate at the siege of Astapor and later Meereen.[3]
During the Stormcrows' mission to Lhazar to secure an alliance with Meereen, the Yunkish send the Long Lances to close the Khyzai Pass. The Stormcrows descend on the Long Lances in the night and defeat them, losing nine men in the process. Twelve Longe Lances go over to the Stormcrows.[4]
The Winds of Winter
As the Second Siege of Meereen begins the Long Lances are defending the Ghost of Astapor. The Mother's Men soon break the Long Lances like a rotten stick and drag the trebuchet over with chains.[5]
