The Talassarian Tempest Blade^[3]

The Talassarian Tempest Blade is a power sword and the personal close combat weapon of Ultramarines Captain Cato Sicarius.^[1b]

History

The Blade is an heirloom, having originally been created on Talassar, then being passed through many generations before reaching the hands of Sicarius.^[2] It presumably takes its name from the constant storms of Talassar.^[1a]

Born into Talassari nobility, Sicarius began training in the arts of war as soon as he was able to grasp a sword.^[1b]

Construction

The Tempest Blade was forged from storm-wrack adamantine, ensuring its edge remains eternally sharp. Additionally, it is weighted for both balance and stability.^[2]
