Hello everyone who reads this. at the moment this is posted in player workshops because i don't know where else to post it. In the event that it is re-posted or suggested to be put in a better place i will do so. As you can see this was inspired somewhat by Shalken's tech compendium which is a useful tool. I also suggest reading the planetary profiles of Mandalore by Dmitri and my own planetary write up of Concord Dawn since they have intertwining histories that is considered canon by this site. Of course there is the whole part of the Mandalorian Dominion (if you have access to some of it) that is worth taking a look at too now that it is a main faction.
This is a comprehensive list of Mandalorian Houses and Clans with descriptions and character links (for those of you who are too edgy to be in a house or clan). if you have a character that belongs to this clan or house let me know and i will add it to the list as soon as I can.
-WHAT CONSTITUTES A MANDALORIAN AND IN TURN HOUSE AND CLAN-
Now some of you may wonder "what constitutes a mandalorian house or clan?" first you have to understand what a Mandalorian is. A Mandalorian is anyone that is born into or adopted into the culture of Mandalorians so I would first read this if that doesn't make sense (maybe read both canon and legacy). While anyone who is born in mandalorian space can be considered a Mandalorian most think of just those born on the planet Mandalore as the only true Mandalorians. But there are those born across the galaxy that are still technically Mandalorians as well as those born on other planets such as Concord Dawn, Concordia(which isn't even a planet), Ordo, or any other Mandalorian planet (there are more than you realize).
Mandalorian hierarchy is pyramid shaped in that mandalore/mand'alor. directly around him/her are their Mandalorian protectors. Of course Mandalorians don't have to follow this leader but it historically been the case to do so as there is a cultural obligation/expectation to do so. Below the Mand'alor are the Houses and their leaders a.k.a. a Count or Countess. The organization of each House has varied from time to time but most often they mimic one another in the ongoing organizational manner whatever it may be. These counts/countesses have served as a council and advisers to the mand'alor as well as govern appointed territories. In the absence of a mand'alor the house's lead mandalorian affairs and are the voice of the mandalorian people for the most part. In the past they have designated new houses and clans and distributed power. For more information on the organization of the current Mandalorian society look here.
There is no set way of how a clan or house comes to be but it often just takes a simple surname or household and family to form a clan. A House was originally a clan that then grew in size and then leads the actions and voice of at least several clans if not more. A clan can be as simple as two people sharing a surname but a House can only be formed at the moment by being recognized by the other Houses. House Skirata for example was formed to govern Concord Dawn so that no no existing house would hold a monopoly on the planet when it was first colonized. Skirata had previously just been a small clan but numerous clans pledged their allegiance to the Skirata name and was recognized by the other Mandalorian Houses.
organization is as follows. Lead Clan of the House it represents is always at the top (if you can't tell just by reading) and then names of persons are organized first alphabetically by last name then by first name. so Tim Doe would be before John Smith.

note: if you already have your character on this index and wish to change houses, clans, modify your name. please let me know the former name (I.E. if you have a character named Mereel Fett and he changes his name to Mereel Skirata i need to know that he was originally called Mereel Fett) thanks
House Fett
House Kryze
House Ordo
House Skirata
House Vizsla
Unaligned
House Genet
HOUSE FETT
Originally Fett began as an unaligned clan much like House Skirata did. it was formed at around the same time as the colonization of the planet Ordo though records are not clear. their numbers have been reduced after numerous conflicts with other houses. those that remain are lone mercenaries or humble farmers. *
Clan Fett: known for their balance between agriculture and militarisation they are fewer in number now and remain scattered across the galaxy keeping a large enough presence in Mandalorian space to remain the head of their House. ~Originally Fett began as an unaligned clan much like House Skirata did. it was formed at around the same time as the colonization of the planet Ordo though records are not clear. their numbers have been reduced after numerous conflicts with other houses. those that remain are lone mercenaries or humble farmers. *

Clan Tsuani: clan writeup
Clan Vhett: the origins of this clan are a mystery but are a estranged members of direct relatives to the Fett clan and remain solely on Concord Dawn.
HOUSE KRYZE
House Kryze is the oldest and longest lived of the Mandalorian Houses. The member clans and descendants of House Kryze are so widespread and so prolific that members of House Kryze often do not know other Kryzes. House Kryze is also one of the wealthiest Mandalorian houses. They are deeply entrenched in 'old money', and members of House Kryze often grew up in, or inherited, wealth. House Kryze places distinct value in honor, integrity, and the resol'nare. House Kryze has raised some of the greatest warriors Mandalore has ever seen, but the sons and daughters of Kryze are seldom greedy or ambitious. Instead, when a Kryze takes power it is often out of perceived necessity, or has been thrust upon them. *
- Toamwata Carcharo
- Bardan Kryze
- Moira Kryze A.K.A. Talia Al'Saif.
Sam Kryze- Tifa Kryze
- Tyrin Kryze
- Viesa Kryze
Clan Gedyc: a Clan that surprisingly joined in large numbers with the Death Watch. they have pride in the old ways of Mandalore and so are very stubborn and zealous towards their cultural ways. ~
Clan Kyramud: fairly small but not to be underestimated. they are highly disciplined as well as calculating clan known for skill just as much as wit (as well as fervor)
Clan Tenau: one of the first clans to have merged with Clan Kryze to form House Kryze Clan Tenau has been around for awhile and is very diverse in their views, skills and ways of life. ~
Clan Ordo: while not as large as clans from other houses this clan is large for one from House Fett.

Clan Merrik:
Clan Skirata: Lore Writeup
Clan Deshra: exceptionally adept at engineering and mechanics they are less combat inclined but just as essential to mandalorian culture.
Clan Detta: a fairly small clan they are known for explorers and adventurers of all sorts, normally taking to piloting ships across tthe galaxy.
Clan Kelborn: this clan is particularly stoic and skilled in the ways of combat and violence.
Clan Sornell: while many devaronians comprise numerous houses and clans on Concord Dawn, Clan Sornell has a higher composition than any other under House Skirata or any clan for that matter.
Clan Vromm: originally neutral, Clan Vromm stayed to themselves in the northern parts of Concord Dawn only occasionally partaking in mercenary work.
HOUSE VIZSLA
A stark contrast to the age and stability of House Kryze, House Vizsla is the symbol of pride and ambition. House Vizsla is a much younger clan, as most of the older generation was lost in a recent civil war. House Vizsla tends to break away from the strict tradition and values that are instilled in classical Mandalorian Culture, and instead Vizsla seeks to blaze its own path and set forth its own values based on what will advance its own goals. House Vizsla is also the most aggressive of the Mandalorian Houses, with Vizsla throwing all of its support behind the resurgent Death Watch in hopes that it would bring glory back to the Mandalorian people. Now, under the young nation of the Dominion, House Vizsla has found itself in pivotal locations within the Dominion Government and Army. ~ *
Clan Vizsla: Merceless, Calculating and proud are all things that describe this clan. pick a point in history and the clan leader can tell you where they were and be proud of what they did. ~A stark contrast to the age and stability of House Kryze, House Vizsla is the symbol of pride and ambition.

HOUSE GENET
considered by most to be a traitorous house due to the attempt at supreme control over Concord Dawn as well as numerous members in the ranks of the Sacred Band of Ziost. their numbers are now few due to their losses in previous internal engagements with other mandalorian groups and almost all members being mercenaries. They used to be a house but by all accounts of loyal mandalorians they are no longer of House status. *
Clan Genet: steeped in mystery it is unknown why few speak of the clan. some things it is because of past transgressions or just loss of place in mandalorian history.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
