The Dragonspears are a Salamanders Successor Chapter.[1]


Overview

The Chapter was among those Salamanders Successor Chapters that were created by Archmagos Dominus Cawl, during the Ultima Founding. Cawl did so without informing the Salamanders and when they learned of this, they began making contact with their Successors Chapters. However since the Dragonspears are a Fleet Based Chapter, it took many years for the Salamanders to make contact with them. By then, the Dragonspears had won renown for fighting alongside the Space Wolves against the Orks at the Gnarion Reef. The experience had led them to become expert Ork hunters, and they had also developed a very strong culture of self-sacrifice and endocannibalism. This was done to ensure that the Dragonspears' lost Battle Brothers, never fell from their memories.[1]

During the Psychic Awakening, the Chapter was among the Imperial forces that took part in The Chancyll Suppression[2]. The Dragonspears later upheld old oaths of brotherhood towards the Space Wolves and joined their efforts to stop the Great Waaagh!.[3]
