Merling King (god)
The Merling King[1] or merling king[2][3] is a god associated with places near the narrow sea.
Ursula Upcliff of Witch Isle, who is said to have been a sorceress, called herself bride of the Merling King during the Andal invasion.[4] The Velaryons claim they received the Driftwood Throne from the Merling King to conclude a pact.[5]
There is a statue of the god commonly visited by sailors in the House of Black and White in Braavos,[1] and the Merling King is a Braavosi galley named after him.[6] There is a rock formation in Blackwater Bay called the spears of the merling king.[2] The helm of Ser Marlon Manderly of White Harbor depicts the head of the merling king.[3]
