The Tide of Skjold (Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob)

Tide of Skjold is a Regiment of Renown Zombie Pirate Deckhand Mob in Total War: Warhammer II. These Undead mariners are competent crewmen and relentless fighters, making them ideal pirates.

Description
The true story about how Aranessa Saltspite became such a gifted seafarer begins in the chill waters of the far north. Aranessa was born into the ruling family of Skjold, a coastal settlement of the Norscans. The chieftain, a proud warrior king in need of a strong successor; was not pleased at all to find that his pregnant wife had delivered him a daughter instead of a son. Worse still the infant had been borne a mutant - her conjoined legs were scaled and twisted into a grotesque fan of spined flesh below the knee.

Physical mutation has always been a death sentence amongst Aranessa's pitiless tribe. Before the sun had set, the mewling babe was hurled from the tallest cliffs to be drowned by the pitiless sea.

This description suggests that these are warriors from her home Norscan village that Aranessa has reanimated to serve in her crew.
