RESOL'NARE
"You will raise your young as Mandalorians and defend them. You will wear our armor, and speak our language. And you will serve the clan, and rally when called. These are the Resol'nare—the Six Actions—sacred to our movement. Do them and you may live to call yourselves Mandalorians!"
— A Mandalorian Rally Master
The Resol'nare are integral to what it means to be a Mando'ad, forming the basis for everything their people hold dear. They can be roughly summarized in a short poem often taught to children:
Ara'nov, aliit,
Mando'a bal Mand'alor
An vecuyan mhi."
