Spear of the First Vigil
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Spear of the First Vigil is an ancient Vigil Spear, that is a relic of the Deathwatch.[1]
It was presented to the first Watch Masters at the Deathwatch's founding and wound around its shaft, in nano-script a molecule thick, is the earliest known and most extensive example of the Litany Xenomortis. However, some verses are so archaic and esoteric, that their true meaning is now unknown.[1]
