"Strength is life, for the strong have the right to rule. Honour is life, for with no honour one may as well be dead. Loyalty is life, for without one's clan, one has no purpose. Death is life, one should die as they lived.”
The code and guiding philosophy of The Beroya clan

Clan Beroya
Page-Layout-Line.png


Hunters by nature, Clan Beroya has produced some of best bounty hunters and trackers the galaxy has seen. Those born under the Beroya banner are taught to hunt before anything else. Teaching them patience and timing they need to conquer the challenges they face. Ther founder Tanx Beroya started this tradition with him becoming a famed mythosaur hunter within Mandalorian clans. Where he would pass down his teachings to the rest of his clan which are still taught today. much like the alpine tundra and Boreal forests they inhabit the beroya can seem cold and calculating but look deeper you filled a people full of life and cheer.

Clan Beroya occupy the northern tundra and Boreal forests of Mandalore in forts along the side of mountains and cliff faces that are common in the northern region. Due to the climate farming isn’t exactly easy with only a short growing season of 130 days. so they rely on the food generated by hunting and foraging as well as hardy crops that can survive the cold. So meat, berries, nuts and mushrooms make up a large part of their diet, with a few very hardy vegetables as well such carrots and leeks. As such they are known for creating meats stews, roasted meats, jerky and trail mix. what they don’t generate themselves they will trade for with clan priest which its northern islands just border the coastline of their lower territories.

Once the food has returned back to the forts in which the clan resides. Most of the food is preserved by either freezing, salting or drying it. What food can’t be stored like this is swiftly eaten before it goes rotten as food can be hard to come by in the winter months, so wastage is out of the question.

Clan Beroya isn’t particularly religious but do have a deep respect for their dead with them laying their dead in crypts carved out of the ice of the ice caps encasing them in a sarcophagus of ice to preserve their bodies for future generations while they use the funeral passage when burying their dead usually said at the end of the funeral. Many these crypts are as old as the clan with hundreds if not thousands of clan members in them and even one holds the body of the founder Tanx Beroya.

The clan has a deep bond with nature. To them, hunting isn't a sport. It is a way to be intimate with nature, to see the rhythms and hierarchies of nature. This goes with their mantra of “Strength is life, for the strong have the right to rule” as survival of the fittest is important in nature and Mandalorian culture. It’s not uncommon to find someone from the clan having an animal companion of some kind. Most common are birds of prey and mammals such wolves and other canine-like animals. Such so they’ve taken the wolf on to their clan symbol.

Beroya upbringings are somewhat different to other Mandalorians. With them being less regimented than other clans, giving them free time to explore the areas around their clans' forts and hone their skills in the wild. this freedom given to them often leads them to wander the galaxy as young adults to later settle down with rest of the clan. Their training provides them with skills to not just survive but to thrive in the harshest of environments. this alongside their hunting and tracking prowess makes for the training for a formidable a bounty hunter and in the military Beroyas can often be found as scouts or as rangers infiltrating behind enemy lines and raiding enemy supply lines.

The clan as has a preference for guerrilla warfare when engaging against any group hostile to them, clan or otherwise. Perfecting hit and fade tactics as well as raiding tactics to inflict maximum casualties and disrupt enemy movements. They do this avoid as many casualties as possible on their own side as the clan is relatively small and couldn’t sustain a conventional war for long. So they use their knowledge to their advantage.

As noted earlier the clan employs and encourages many of their clan to have animal companions as such they have developed many techniques to tame the animals of Mandalore and the galaxy. The most talented of these are called “beastmasters” in the clan as they have a natural bond with animals they choose and training. To be a beastmaster is a mark of great respect in the clan and are the ones teach the newer generations on how to handle and tame the creatures of the galaxy. Beastmaster can be found in military, training animals to guard the many dominion facilities alongside their Mandalorian brethren.

The easiest way to spot a member of clan Beroya is by the fur that is often adorned on their armour. This simply because fur is a common fabric in the clan as a byproduct of the large amount hunting they do. As well you will often find they wear teal on their armour somewhere as this is Clans colour which represents the mixture of blue ice of glaciers and the green conifers that inhabit their territory.

Clan Beroya is under the House Vizsla. Clan Beroya shares a close bond to Clan Vizsla, so much it is thought that Tanx was originally a member of Clan Vizsla before making his own clan. The clan regular train and trade with the rest of the house as well as exchange their knowledge with them as they do the same with them.

Clan Beroya has very little interaction officially with House Fett but they don’t hold any grievances with them so if they were to ask for help, it wouldn't be denied but as many of their clan wander they may have built relations as individuals with the House.

Beroya doesn't really care for House Kryze and neither do they with generally only interacting with them purchase furs or to hire their services for hunting or other talents and of course, this does account for individuals.

House Ordo and Clan beroya have a Mutual relationship with the House. coming to them often to order and buy gear that can survive the weather and abuse the clan gives their equipment. So much so that they built up enough of a reputation to warrant Ordo having saying about them “If a Beroya can’t break, no one can.“

Once again Clan Beroya has very little interaction officially with House Skirata even more so than Fett, with clan leadership just outright ignoring them as they are to believe to be without honour so may as well be dead to the clan.

Intent: To expand upon Mandalorian lore, to give writers solid information to build upon and so others to know what clan is about and maybe join the clan

This might be my favorite bit of Mandalorian lore yet x_x Love it. Has this been signed off on by Mandalorian leadership? If so, I'll get this baby approved.

@christhebarker was just reading through this article. Love the writeup, just have one minor edit to ask that was missed during the initial lookover. You state that Clan Beroya isn't under any House, which is something we're trying to move away from as a faction policy. Would you mind just editing that it's under House Vizsla (or whichever House you like, you just said they were closest to Vizsla). Once you're done I'll link it under the House of your choice with the rest of the writeups.

Thanks! :prudence:
