1 - The Mandalorian Code Reinterpretation as it Currently Stands
[Text in image is as below]
i) Strength is Life; for the strong have the right to rule.
a) Strength as a rule can refer to moral strength, personal physicality, strength of character, strength of will, and the strength to endure, complete, or see a task to its completion.
b) Strength refers not to power, but to inner strength. The strength of oneâs Mandokar, oneâs conviction, oneâs honour, and oneâs commitment to their clan and their people.
c) Those who hold power, both political and physical, but no moral, personal, or true strength cannot be considered apt to rule or have right to authority.
ii) Honor is Life; for without honour you may as well be dead.
a) Honour is the understanding of the fundamental difference between Vengeance and Revenge.
b) Honour is a warrior who values their kinâs and their own honour above petty disputes and personal gain.
c) Honour is for those who answer the call of their Mandaâlor, and call to arms against a false Mandaâlor whose rule would make Mandoâade into Demagolkase.
iii) Loyalty is Life; for without oneâs clan one has no purpose.
a) Loyalty is the lasting duty, responsibility and commitment to a cause, a clan, and a leader.
b) Loyalty to a Clan and a House can be through contributing to the Clanâs welfare, raising children within the Clan and Houseâs protection, and coming to the aide of Clan Members in need.
c) Loyalty to Mandalore, and its people, is to uphold the Resolânare, and maintain oneâs oaths, and seek redemption for misdeeds and failures.
d) Loyalty to the Mandaâlor, is to be loyal to the Mandaâlor that is deserving of the loyalty of a Mandalorian.
iv) Death is Life; one should die as they have lived.
a) A Mandoâadeâs life is their word, if a Mandoâade wishes to commit themselves to one creed, their creed cannot be posthumously changed or altered past their death.
b) A Mandalorian is not expected to die for the creed, but to live by it, as a Mandalorian can only actively protect and serve their clan whilst they still live.
c) Death is not to be feared, but celebrated, as it is a natural part of life.
[This is the entirety of this section as it currently stands. Any criticism is helpful! If anyone has any other ideas of how this section could be extrapolated, that would be awesome.]
Okay so like- Iâve been wondering for awhile why nobody has tried to make being a Mandalorian a real life thing? Like how some Star Trek fans speak Klingon, and some Tolkien fans speak elvish?
Why havenât people, I donât know, just adopt the Mandalorian culture into their lives? Because i find the principles of Mandalorians are things that make sense and can get behind?
The Resol'nare consists of:
wearing armor,
speaking the language (mandoâa),
defending oneself and family,
raising your children as Mandalorians (or at least with their morals and values),
contributing to the clan's welfare (can be adapted to family and friends),
and when called upon by the Mand'alor, rallying to their cause (can be adapted to rallying behind an idea, political view, protesting together, or the like. Just being a unit together?)
There are also more parts to being a Mandalorian that can be found on the web (like morals, values, and ideals). Why do people not just adopt the Mandalorian culture into their lives if they so choose? The culture seems respectable, and we can tweak parts of it to fit into this age and galaxyâs way of life.
If anyone knows where to find the Mandalorian Realism discord servers, please message me!
a) Education â A fundamental right given to all those born or adopted into Mandalore. Education is the path to being a Mandalorian. Without an education, life can not be lived to its fullest potential, and that is tragedy. Education should be formal, and include a verdgoten or age equivalent, but it is not required for Mandoâade to graduate past level 10 to enter the work force.
b) Armour â A Mandalorian can not be comfortable without armour. A Mandalorian does not have to give up, or swear themselves to a Creed of Facelessness to be considered a Mandalorian. Armour does not have to be made of any percentage of Beskar to be considered Mandalorian. Armour does not have to be steel â bone armour, ceramic armour, leather, synth-leather, and the fabric cloaks of the Mandalorian Coverts are fully acceptable. A Mandalorian, however, has the right to have access to Beskar armour, and being refused any contact with Beskar through either heritage or politics is an inhibition of rights.
c) Self Defence â All Mandalorians have the right to practice, teach, and act in self-defense. This does not condone mindless violence. Mandalorians must be focused on those who would attack them, not those who could have been allies.
d) Clan â All Mandalorians have the right to belong or be claimed by a clan.
e) Language â all Mandalorians have a right to learn, speak, and practice the language of Mandoâa and the languages of their origin.
f) Leader â Mandalorians have the right to follow a just, and honourable leader that they in turn believe in. Mandalorians have the right to chose who this just leader can be. Once a Mandalorian has sworn themselves to this leader, it will take the leader breaking their own oaths for the Mandalorians sworn to them to be able to rescind their support.

ii) Way Followerâs Interpretation;
a) Education is the method of which Clan is made. A Clan is not together and complete without education. All Mandalorians are responsible for the education of their Clanâs Foundlings.
b) Armour is the method of which keeps the Clan safe. A Clan is not safe if their warriors do not wear armour. All Mandalorians are responsible for helping Foundlings earn their armour.
c) Self Defence
d) Clan is the method in which a Mandoâade and their kin are complete. A Mandoâade is not alive if left without Clan. All Mandoâade are to be as Clan with all those who follow the Way.
e) Language is what creates the foundation of the Clan. A Clan cannot teach if the language is not spoken. All Mandalorians are responsible for keeping the language alive.
f) A Leader is what gives the Clan direction. A Clan cannot survive if they do not have a way to follow. All Mandalorians are to choose the leader in which they will follow to keep the Way alive.

iii) Naasaade Interpretation and Redemption of Vows
a) âWithout Honour, one may as well be dead.â The Naasaade interpret this to mean as, if one has failed, cost their clan honour, or been dishonourably defeated in combat, or failed a charge that they were to protect, they are to act as if they were dead. No name, no clan, no colour, no house. Naasaade follow the Redemption Command, in order to redeem themselves and become proper Mandalorians in the eyes of the Kaâra, and the Clan, or Mandoâade they have failed, either living or dead.
iv) Noncombatant Interpretations
a) It is the right of non-combatants to follow the code to their best ability â with or without active battle experience or participation.
b) Non-combatantâs called in for Sector Service have the right to choose to serve their time on the home front as a member of the emergency services, or in the Sentient Rights Support Divisions.
c) Non-combatants have the right to learn self-defence, but are not required to practice it.
d) Non-combatants have the right to earn armour and beskar, but retain the right to not wear it, and have the right to donate it to other Clans, if that is the Mandoâade in questionâs desire. They cannot be blocked by members of their Clan or House from doing so.

v) The Mandalorian Healerâs Code
a) It is the Way of the Healer to educate the warrior to help themselves â this refers to the Mandalorian Healerâs approach to informing a Mandalorian of all possible outcomes to any health-related situation. It is a way of allowing the Mandalorian in question to be informed, better protect themselves, and so that the Mandalorian Healerâs can focus on the emergencies and not those who ignore the warnings.
b) It is the Way of the Healer to arm themselves to the possibilities that the patient will fight back â Healers in Mandalorian space will frequently have to deal with violent or panicked patients. This line infers that a Healer can and will use a Mandalorianâs armour, or their own, to protect the Mandalorian from themselves, and allows the Healers to wear the same protective gear as the rest of the Mandoâade in Mandalorian Space.
c) It is the Way of the Healer to defend oneself and oneâs patient â if a healer and their charge are attacked, the Healerâs code makes it clear that lethal action isnât only justified, but required.
d) It is the Way of the Healer to work for the better of their Clan â a Healerâs Clan is their priority. But a Healer does not only have to work for the Clan. A Healer will work for any Clan they come into contact with, and retain the right to attend patients even after a Leader or Clan has denied that patient treatment.
e) It is the Way of the Healer to speak the Language, and uphold its Honour â a Healer will never speak of what a patient tells them to anyone unless the patient requests it, or for the patientâs own safety. Healers are often called upon as witnesses in many court cases, and can legally refuse to divulge information unless their patient informs them, in person, that they consent to their medical information being shared.
f) It is the Way of the Healer to see to the Leader, and to uphold our Way â the words of a Healer can outrank even the Mandaâlor in the right circumstances. If the Healer declares that a mission cannot take place for the safety of the warriors, and cannot be talked into considering otherwise, the Leader, even the Mandaâlor themselves, cannot undo this verdict, and must abide by the Healerâs instructions. A Mandaâlor can be asked to step down, temporarily or permanently, if a Healer finds either a diagnosis inhibiting them from being able to appropriately or safely lead, or finds that the position is a risk to the Mandaâlorâs own health.

vi) The Mandalorian Armourerâs Code
 a) incomplete
vii) Codes recognised in Conjunction;
a) The Canons of Honour - âStrength is Life; Honour is Life; Loyalty is Life; Death is Life.â
b) The Mandalorian Code â âTo be Strong is to seek strength from within yourself. To be honourable is to live honourably, and to the expectations of those in your care. To be loyal it to follow one worth following, and live for their cause. To die as you live, is to live without seeking death, and greeting it as but another step in a warriorâs path on the Way.â
c) The Redemption Commands â âYou will redeem yourselves in the eyes of the living. You will redeem yourselves in the eyes of the dead. You will redeem yourselves in the eyes of those who you have done wrong. You will redeem yourselves past the ledger of those who have don you, and your clan wrong. You will redeem your name in the honour of your clan. You will redeem your name in the honour of your house. You will redeem your name in the honour of your children. You will redeem your name in the honour of the Mandaâlor worth your oath. You will live as if dead, until the living and the dead see a warrior worth declaring one of the Children of the Way.â
d) The Mandalorian Creed or Way
[This is the section on Resol'nare as it stands now. If anyone has any criticisms, let me know! I have still barely filled out certain parts but we're getting there, whoop whoop!!]
brb, Iâm currently obsessed with Jaster Mereel. Like- he is so fucking pure. I mean, heâs a DILF, a nerd, and sort of awkward?!? đ« bitch, everyone wants a piece of him
Just so everyone is clear, the version I'm currently working on is a very rough draft, and once I've completed it, I will be going back over any Mandalorian Lore I can find to polish it further. Its gonna suck. Ah well, I don't need sleep anyway.
