Mand’alor Darasuum Kote

The following transmission was received from Children of the Watch leadership in response to Mandalore's propaganda:

While the pacifist government mourns their fallen leader, they continue peddling falsehoods about unity and cultural preservation. The truth is plain for all warriors to see:

There has been no true integration of clans under their rule. No meaningful assistance to preserve our warrior culture. Only empty gestures and the slow erosion of our ways. If their words held truth, why do they brand so many as dar'manda simply for walking different paths while still honoring the ancient tenets?

The answer reveals their hypocrisy: Only those who bow to pacifism find welcome in their halls. Only those who sheathe their blades receive their blessings. Korlan Mereel and Zachill DeSol offered nothing but cursory nods to traveling clans while actively working to supplant our warrior spirit with their weak-kneed philosophy. Their so-called "unification" was always about control, not kinship.

"True Mandalorians Stand Ready"

This corruption began when Axel Hyaaba, Ejix Oxo, Leland Thakkun, Marcus Peliots, and Galen McGruff's pure vision for the Children of the Watch was twisted into Cassidy Dragonblood's "Way of Mandalore" - a puppet theater where warriors are tamed and traditions are diluted to please outsiders.

Noah Hatfield, warrior of the old guard, speaks truth when he says: "The legacy of the Children of the Watch and The Way will always be remembered as Axel, Ejix, Leland, and Galen. Under different stars, we might have reclaimed Mandalore from the pretenders. I am just glad I had the honor to meet and train with the last true Mandalorians before the Way Council stained our traditions with their weakness." His words echo what every true warrior knows in their bones.

The true lineage flows unbroken from Peter Max's Death Watch - his warrior spirit lives on in our crusade. Lazarus Grimm and the surviving Death Watch members carry that same fire within them today, just as Axel Hyaaba's vision burns bright in Leland Thakkun and all true warriors of the Watch. What the founders built was stolen and twisted into this pale imitation they now call "The Way of Mandalore."

We utterly reject Jevon Lambright's false claim to the title. There can be no Mand'alor while our clans remain divided, no true leader while our people kneel to outsiders and beg for their protection.

The battlefield does not lie. We have met the forces of Mandalore in the fires of Serroco and proven our strength where it matters most. Their lines broke against our warriors. Their so-called allies came weak and left weaker, while ours stand firm and unbroken.

"A Fleet Forged in Fire, Not Compromise"

While they hide behind bacta tanks and carefully worded press releases, we stand ready in our beskar. While they play politics and succession crises, we prepare for the war they cannot avoid.

The throne of Mandalore sits empty, waiting for a true warrior to claim it. Not through bureaucracy. Not through pity. But through strength, honor, and conquest - just as Peter Max taught, just as Lazarus Grimm upholds, just as Axel Hyaaba envisioned when the first Children of the Watch were born.
