neoPlast Swords

In the Red Rising Saga, neoPlast swords debut in Iron Gold as innocuous child-sized training weapons crafted from lightweight, durable polymer, ideal for safe dueling practice among young Golds honing their razor-edge skills. Though appearing only in this installment, they symbolize the Society's early cultivation of martial prowess in its elite offspring, bridging play and lethal preparation in a world where violence is bred from cradle to grave. Their introduction underscores the saga's theme of innocence corrupted by hierarchical brutality, with no further evolution noted across subsequent books.
