OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To expand on the canon clan that I have been RPing on and off for a few years now.
- Image Credit: Made by Tefka.
- Role: Clan of Mandalore.
- Links: /
- Group Name: Clan Vizsla
- Classification: Mandalorian Clan
- Headquarters: Wayland previously, currently nomadic.
- Loyalties: Itself | Ronan Vizsla
- Group Sigil: See header.
- Description: Blood and Iron. Their motto and their way of life. Clan Vizsla are fathers and commandos, mothers and warriors, children and killers through and through. At least from the outside, but once you move deeper there is some complexity to the stereotype. Their reputation is well-earned, yes, they are ruthless on the field and value family above all. But for every warrior there is an engineer, for every commando an artist, soon enough one would see that Clan Vizsla is made up of people as varied as can be.
- Hierarchy: Clan Vizsla follows the traditional clan hierarchy. Alor -> Alor'ad -> Talyc (blooded) -> Dar’talyc.
- Membership: As with most Mandalorian Clans Clan Vizsla has no issue accepting outsiders into their ranks and consider them family. Every new blood has to learn the language and the traditions, they have to train with the other warriors and keep up, until they are ready to wear the armor. Only then are they send on a mission and they are only accepted back if said mission is successful. It could be a bounty, a hunt or something entirely else. But it always benefits the Clan as a whole. In the last two decades Vizsla has grown in number exponentially and is now known as one of the larger clans of Mandalore. They were concentrated mostly on Wayland, making their home there, but enclaves exists on other worlds like Yavin. Numbers are difficult to keep as the Clan is in constant flux, but a regular Vizsla enclave could number over a thousand easily.
- Dogma/Doctrines: Family above all. Above the Resol'nare, above Mand'alor, Clan Vizsla has always looked out for their own first and foremost. This was presumably how the Death Watch and Pre Vizsla managed to conquer Mandalore for a time so many years ago.
- Curios: /
- Goals: Expand. Find a new home. Survive. Find new allies. Bring down an Empire.
Ronan Vizsla - Alor.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The pre-gulag history of Clan Vizsla is shrouded in obscurity and legends. It is known that Vizsla dominated Mandalore at one point, betraying many of their own in the progress. It is known that they lost that control sometime afterwards and it stained their reputation for generations to come.
Even now Vizsla is looked upon with mistrust and kept at an arm's length. Ra's ascension to Mand'alor had brought change to that... for a time, until the Mandalorian Civil War that pitted a returned Ra Vizsla against Mia Monroe. The latter of which had infamy of her own for her role in the desolation of Mandalore. While Ra triumphed over Mia, his creation of the Mandalorian Empire was seen with mistrust by some.
The laws against the Force only increased that tension to a boiling point.
Throughout it all many of Clan Vizsla weathered the storm, sticking mostly to themselves rather than that get involved into another civil war. The second disappearance of Ra Vizsla brought renewed chaos to his Empire which was brought to a crux point with a would-be leader, Yasha Mantis, stepping into the spotlight. Former ward of Ra Vizsla and Hell Wolf, surviving the horrors of the Netherworld from a very young age, Yasha was viewed as staking a claim on leadership of the Empire by some through her presence on the throne.
In the throne room of Sundari on Mandalore the Alor of Clan Vizsla, Ronan, finally picked a side.
He stood against Yasha and her allies.
Chaos ruled in that throne room, time moved fast and many died. What exactly happened in that room differs per the party telling the tale. The palace burned that day, Ronan and his remaining allies found their way out, once it was clear the right of challenge would not be properly honored. In the end Ronan Vizsla left the Mandalorian Empire behind, many of his Clan following him into exile.
But there was a fire burning within them.
Clan Vizsla would return one day.
That much was for sure.
