Metasomata

The Metasomata was the blade of Khoisan Neotera, Chapter Master of the Mantis Warriors. The revered venom-tinged and elaborately curved blade's history was celebrated throughout the Mantis' realms.^[1a] The blade was stripped from Neotera after he was found guilty by a Council of Judgemnet for his Chapter's actions during the Badab War. The current whereabouts of the Metasomata are unknown.^[1b]
