Dragon Spine Privateers

is a minor faction of Rogue Pirates introduced in the Aye-Aye! Patch for Total War: Warhammer II. They are a special legendary pirate army, which will challenge Vampire Coast factions who raise their Infamy rank to 4. Defeating them unlocks a verse of the Sea Shanty.
They are grouped with Rogue Armies on the Diplomacy screen, though their crests all feature a notable teal stripe, as oppose to the red stripe generally seen on Rogue Armies or the blue stripe on regular Rogue Pirate armies.
== Background ==
As a High Elf prince, Fhiron Wavemaker had lived a life of luxury, but - as is the case with many who want for nothing, materially-speaking - eventually began to feel empty and yearned for something more. One afternoon, along the coast of Saphery, he set sail into the mist of the Sea of Dreams in a small sailing boat with no other soul aboard. Upon returning many hours later, Fhiron rushed to the harbour of Port Elistor and had a large vessel commissioned, which some even said was a weapon of war.
Fhiron's ship was completed many months later, upon which the prince immediately put together a crew of the most loyal from his court and set sail through the Straights of Lothern. Nobody knows what exactly caused him to give up everything and choose a life at sea, but whatever happened that one afternoon in the mist is undoubtedly where it all began...
