Living Waters


The Living Waters was a ceremonial ground located in the Mines of Mandalore, under the Civic Center in the city of Sundari on Mandalore.

History


The Mines dated back to the age of the Mandalore the Great; and existed thousands of years before the time of the New Republic. According to the ancient Mandalorian folklore, the mines were once a mythosaur lair. Before the Great Purge of Mandalore, the Living Waters was utilized as a ceremonial ground where the royal family would bathe in the water. Bo-Katan Kryze reminded Din Djarin that she was a part of the royal family and did the ceremony. According to the Mandalorian Creed, a Mandalorian apostate who took off their helmet and sought atonement could be redeemed in the Living Waters. After the Purge, the Children of the Watch believed the Mines were collapsed in the Purge, making the Living Waters inaccessible. However, they did not collapse, and instead the Purge triggered seismic activities that made the Waters go deeper.

Djarin went on a mission to the Living Waters to redeem himself and remove his decree of exile. Eventually he was able to bathe in the Waters. However, he lost his consciousness and was rescued by Kryze, who witnessed a living mythosaur in the Waters, unbeknownst to Djarin. They later returned to the covert to prove that Djarin was redeemed. Paz Vizsla doubted their claims, saying the mines were collapsed in the Purge. However, Djarin brought a proof from the Living Waters, and the Armorer confirmed its authenticity.

Description


Mounted to the wall near the entrance of the ceremonial chamber was an aged metal plaque with a Mando'a inscription reading:

Interestingly, when Bo-Katan Kryze read the plaque to Din Djarin, she misread "Mandalore the Great defeated and rode the mythical beast" as "Mandalore the Great is said to have tamed the mythical beast."
