"I adhere to The Creed. The core of what it means to be Mandalorian. A sacred law giving us direction and purpose. Education, armor, self defense, our tribe, our language, our leader- All help us survive"​

"Ni atioa at Branr. e'yar'aor be meg bic tid'ica at cuyir Mando'ad. A ta'hye nadetr dinuir mhi ka'ulya bal narser. "Ba'jur, beskar'gam, Ara'nov, ha'yr. Mando'a bal Mand'alor- An vencuyan mhi"​

• Reputation: To outsiders, those who follow the Way of the Mandalore appear to be little more than Mandalorians. Few outside their creed or that of other Mandalorians would even know of their existence. But among Mandalorians outside of those who have taken this creed, The Children of The Watch are regarded with us much suspicion as they are curiosity.
  The Children of the Watch have done little to convince their fellow Mandalorians to see them as anything else, With most of their practitioners preferring to keep to themselves. Even in Mandalorian territories, Those who follow The Way keep their coverts well hidden. Most would be surprised to learn there were ever practitioners among them in the first place.
  What makes it difficult to their entire religion through any other lens than caution, are the many sub-sects that have developed since Death Watch disbanded. Each tribe has it's own slight variations, and certain sub-sects that might be shared between coverts within a single star-system or sector, may have radically different interpretations and even policies in dealing with outsiders.
