Children of the Watch

The Children of the Watch, also known as the Followers of the Way, were an orthodox religion of Mandalorians who followed the Way of the Mandalore. Its adherents were characterized as religious zealots by Lady Bo-Katan Kryze and others in mainstream Mandalorian society, who had abandoned the ancient faith long before the Galactic Civil War. The Children of the Watch were primarily descendants of Death Watch members. Due to being cloistered on Concordia in exile, they survived the Great Purge of Mandalore.

The Tribe was a Mandalorian clan whose members were followers of the Children of the Watch tradition. The Tribe was led by a Mandalorian known as "the Armorer," herself the matriarch of the Children of the Watch religion. However, at least one of its members, Din Djarin, was unaware that there was anything unusual about their beliefs and practices. Instead, Djarin believed that all Mandalorians were like them until he met Bo-Katan Kryze and her Mandalorian warriors, Axe Woves and Koska Reeves. Those Mandalorians, Kryze especially, considered the Children of the Watch to be a cult that had greatly contributed to the divided nature and weakness of their people. The Children of the Watch did not follow the custom of the Darksaber, and station or bloodline was not important to them. After spending time with the Children, Kryze decided the Children were not a cult, but simply a group interested in ancient ways of their ancestors. With the reconquest of Mandalore, the Children put aside their obsession with the Way to work with Kryze's forces.
