What's next?

Name Pre minister of war

{if Satine = true}

Lana (giving him your hand): Stand up Pre! You are not going to die today!

Pre (frustrated): What? Do you refuse my request?! Am I a joke to you?! You won't let me die honourably?!

Lana: No, that's not about that! You may have lost the challenge, but you are still the second strongest Mandalorian here.

Pre: But our way dictates, that, you must...

Lana: Some of our ways have been outdated through the millennia!

Leader of the Children of the Watch: You can't change the ways! They are older than most of our clans themselves!

Lana: We need to evolve. I won't be changing many of them, but some must be reformed.

Leader of Clan Varad: I don't know... This has given us the basic traditions of our lives... If we abandon one, how long are we going to remain true Mandalorians? I suggest you kill the one who lost their honour by being defeated in the challenge! This is the way!

Bo-Katan: Hey, if you want to get him killed Varad, come and fight me first! If I win you'll shut your big mouth for good!

Leader of Clan Varad: Gladly, I'm still itching for a fight! But you won't be much of a challenge, unfortunately!

Lana: Enough! No more infighting! Pre Vizsla has been leading Clan Vizsla and its vassal clans of House Vizsla for many years now! Has he not proven himself time and time again? Nobody could best him in a duel or in leadership before this day. He has lived up to our code and upheld our ways with honour. Such honour cannot be lost in a single defeat. I, as Mandalore, will not kill such a valuable kin of mine! Instead, I offer him a chance to redeem himself and continue to serve his people with the best of his abilities. His abilities as... A minister of war, in the new ruling council of Mandalore!

Pre (thinking): A... minister of war...?

Lana: He would remain the leader of Clan Vizsla and he would be my advisor on military matters. He would oversee the combat training and military organization of the clans. As a start.

Bo-Katan: Clan Kryze and I support this decision!

Ursa: Clan Wren as well!

Tiber: As a former vassal of Pre Vizsla, Clan Saxon also stands by it.

Leader of Clan Ha'rangir: My clan has no reason to object, we obey the command of Mandalore!

Leader of the Children of the Watch: My clan opposes it! It's blasphemy!

Satine: I don't like that either!

Leader of Clan Fett: Yes, yes, we have heard both your opinions on the matter already, the majority has voted in favour though.

Pre: Lana, I... I wasn't foreseeing this... I... I accept. I will be the general of our people, but I also have one condition.

Lana: Yes?

Pre: I am going to demand a new challenge for the title of Mandalore in the future. But that one will be final and fatal for one of us.

Lana: This condition I can accept. I would accept any challengers for the title, but I will not be making exceptions again. The next challenger who loses will pay with their lives for failure! We don't want everybody to keep challenging me all day, do we?

Satine: That's nice and all, having new ministers and all, but I wonder, how far will you get with people like Pre Vizsla in your government, people who are murderers of children and agitators of aggression!

Pre (sarcastically): Always a pleasure to talk to you, "your highness"!

Lana: Don't insult him, he's been following and living up to his own code of honour. That is a respectable thing, even if you don't agree with all his actions or motives.

Satine: True, that much I can respect in him. But that is all.

Pre: I don't need your respect, I have earned the respect of those whose opinion matters.

Lana: Satine, try to focus on the respectable side of the other Mandalorians, there are plenty of that in them. You'll see. And Pre... Try to be less... You.

Pre (confused): What is the meaning of that?!

Lana: You'll know when you have achieved it.

Obi-Wan: That sounds very noble of you Lana, yet I have my doubts about the chance of success.

Satine: I will see what I can do, but no promises. I am curious, though how we can manage things with my sister back in our palace...

Bo-Katan (indifferently): What a great family reunion...

Pre (shouting): Alright, everyone. We have a new Mandalore! For Mandalore!

Hearing this, Bo-Katan stands up, she looks Pre, then you right in the eye. Afterwards she clunges her fist and beats it against her chest plate three times. Following her example, all Mandalorians beat their fists against their chests three more times as a sign of approval for your words.

Mandalorians (amidst a loud, rhythmic metallic noise): Man-da-lore! Man-da-lore! Man-da-lore!

Lana: My first act as Mandalore, is to grant the fallen an honourable burial. Both sides had been fighting valiantly and with courage, they were all the embodiments of Mandalorian culture. They deserve no less.

Lana: First things first, we need to announce the new order to the populace of Sundari. The battle and thus, the war is over. Ask the residents to assemble to the main square tomorrow. Until then, let's go and search for survivors, there may be many injured under the rubble.

Tiber Saxon: Hm. The weak deserve no help, I say we leave them where they are, if they are strong enough, they'll find to survive!

Satine: I will pretend I have not heard that comment...

Lana: That matter is not for you to decide. Now, we all have our duties, let's go and help the injured. Dismissed!
