Clan Kryze

Historically, Clan Kryze was one of the traditional warrior clans of Mandalore and it can trace its lineage of chieftains back to the time before even the Annihilation. They held a large expanse of territory on the planet Kalevala, and were largely content to tend to those lands, living off of the land and defending it when necessary. After the Annihilation, it became a controversial--although hardly unique--clan in that its members divided itself among those who hold to the six tenets of the Resol'nare and those who have adopted the pacifist ideals of the New Mandalorians.

They are mostly united, however, in their support for their chieftain, the Duchess Satine Kryze. There were, however, a number of the clan who were not at all in agreement that the title should pass to her, as she was entirely New Mandalorian and rebuked the ways of the traditional warriors. Some even left the clan over it. However, those who remained agreed to set down arms for the greater good of Mandalore in the wake of the Great Clan Wars that killed the vast majority of their clan, including Satine's father and predecessor, Chieftain Tyvek Kryze. However, some are far more ready than others to pick them up again should the need arise...
