Battle Standard of the Mantis

The Battle Standard of the Mantis was first carried by the Mantis Clan Champion Hotaka during the Battle of the Cresting Wave.

Appearance
The large sashimono was decorated with three huge green Mantis mons. The pole was made from a dark sugi wood that was only found on Tokigogachu, and the wood was replaced once a year during the New Year's Festival for which Tokigogachu was famous. The standard was only brought to bear when the Mantis were fighting in large numbers on land or when a significant portion of their fleet is expected to engage in combat, like the War of Fire and Thunder. The banner inspired all Mantis in sight of the nemuranai.
