The Old Boar
"Survival is not endurance. A spark in a closed room eventually runs out of air. To live beyond our lifetimes, we must become the wind that carries the flame."
- Zavar Kelborn, Call to Banners
NARRATIVE OVERVIEW
For nearly a half-century, the genocide of our people has gone unanswered. The Sith, architects of our greatest defeat, walk unafraid in the galaxy. So long as our vode’s blood is unavenged, we have no honor as Mandalorians.
The Iron Covenant emerges from the ashes of the Mandalorian Enclave, their cradle the frozen world of Kestri. A pact wrought in steel carries a legacy and burden of the Mando’ade and their failures. United in their desire to avenge what they had lost, their eyes are set on the Sith powers in the galaxy currently unchallenged.
Many who have wronged the Mando'ade walk in the galaxy. The Sith Order stands unchallenged behind their Blackwall. The Galactic Empire (or so it seems) rots in the core, the heritage of the Brotherhood of the Maw who slew the Quartermaster. The Sith Holy Worlds are ruled over by Darth Carnifex. All of these are targets for destruction by the Iron Covenant.
The galaxy underestimates the Mandalorians. Most have forgotten them. Those who do remember do not respect them. And cowards, traitors to their heritage, hold power in Mandalore. Swearing to rid the galaxy of their ancient foe or die trying, the Iron Covenant must against all odds and outnumbered wage war against the Sith and bring them to their knees.
