"Shouldn't be too hard. It's a pretty simple language. My job will be teaching and preparing you ro join the clan."
He tells him.
English
-
"So what's the first step in your teachings, teacher? Master? Sensei! No that's already used..."
-
"No need for titles, vod. I don't outrank you. We're all equals in the clan." Cannon tells him.
-
"Got it. So what's the first step?"
-
"Well, I usually start with a brief history of the Mando'ade, that means Mandalorians." Cannon tells him.
-
"Mando'ade. Got it. I have a basic idea of what's going now. The Mando'ade are in war with the empire, and are mostly winning.
-
"That's just the past twenty years or so. I meant the whole history." Cannon tells him.
-
"Well than. Should I sit down?"
-
"Probably a good idea." Cannon gestures to the fallen tree he's sitting on.
-
[b]Nathaniel sat down beside him, listening intently to Cannon's coming words [/b]
-
"Alright. So, originally, the Mandalorians were all one species, called the Taung. Ugly, gray skinned guys with fangs and yellow eyes. They came from Coruscant, back before it was a city. The oldest records of them we have is from a war between them and the original humans on Coruscant, which they lost due to sheer numbers. The Taung were driven off Coruscant and eventually ended up on a planet called Roon."
-
[b]Nathaniel nodded, taking it in [/b]
-
"Eventually the Taung decided to pack up and move to Mandalore, settling down and killing the native Mythosaur beasts that lived there. Their leader took the title of Mand'alore the first, and united all of them beneath him. He eventually lead them on crusades to conquer neighbouring planets in a series of wars."
-
[b]Nathaniel nodded once more, enthralled in the story[/b]
-
"A few generations later, the mask of the Mand'alore fell to a new leader. Mand'alore the Indomitable. He believed he had a vision in which he was told the old Taung gods were false, and that they should worship warfare, which he considered to be the one true way a civilization could advance. He leads a series of crusades, killing entire species. The Basilisks, Fenelar, and several other species were hunted into extinction. Eventually, he waged war against Dxun and Onderon, two planets that were part of the Galactic Republic. He lost. The mask was found in the jungles of Dxun where it would later be taken up by another known as Mand'alore the Ultimate."
-
"The mask is what makes the leader then?"
-
"More or less. It's like the king's crown, a symbol of authority. Whoever wears it has the right to challenge other for the position of Mand'alore." Cannon tells him.
-
"Ah I see. Continue, please."
-
"Alright. So, Mand'alore the Ultimate realized the Taung were not numerous to survive, so he opened the ranks to any and all who would join and follow the canons of honour, the six actions I told you about. People from every species joined him, and he organized them into the first true army in Mandalorian history. He even took on a human as his second in command, a man known as Casus Fett."
-
"Smart guy sounds like..."
-
"Yeah, and bloodthirsty. He organized the Mandalorians into a war machine, frenzied them up with promises of loot and glory, then went to war against the Galactic Republic. He almost won too, if the Jedi known as Reven hadn't stepped in."
-
"That took an unexpected twist. He sounded nice.."
-
"He believed the Mandalorians had the right to rule because we were the strongest. Reven eventually killed him and took the mask, hiding it. The Mandalorians turned to infighting and scattered."
-
"And than? What followed that?"
-
"Eventually a bigger threat showed up. A Mandalorian veteran known as Canderouse Ordo met and unknowingly befriended Revan. Eventually, Reven recruited him to help fight the Sith, and gave him the mask. At this point the Taung were extinct, but their vulture lived on. Ordo took the title of Mand'alore the Preserver and united the remaining clans."
-
"Did he do it well at the very least?"
