Search for Mandalore's Mask

The Search for Mandalore's Mask was a mission undertaken by the surviving Mandalorian clans, leftover from the Mandalorian Wars, gathered on the planet Rekkiad to search for the ancient ceremonial war mask, Mandalore's Mask. Jedi Master Revan and Canderous Ordo journeyed to the planet Rekkiad and joined Clan Ordo in the search. Revan lead the clan into Clan Jendri's territory in search of the mask. The next morning after they set up camp Clan Jendri attacked Clan Ordo and were defeated. The next day Revan narrowed the location down to the one of the Twin Spears. They climbed the spear and when they reached the top, Revan and Canderous re-discovered and investigated the secret chamber and the tomb of the Sith Lord Dramath the Second. They found the mask inside the sarcophagus. Shortly after finding the mask, Canderous's wife Veela Ordo and five Mandalorians ambushed Canderous and Revan. Revan and Canderous managed to defeat Veela and the Mandalorians. The next day Revan told Canderous of what truly started the Mandalorian Wars and asked him to stay behind and protect the Mandalorians and the Republic from the threat of the Sith.

Prelude
In 3,954 BBY the surviving Mandalorian clans gathered on the planet Rekkiad to search for the ancient ceremonial war mask, Mandalore's Mask. Jedi Master Revan and Canderous Ordo journeyed to Rekkiad to help Clan Ordo find the mask.

The Search
During the search Revan lead Clan Ordo into Clan Jendri territory in the search for the mask. They were attacked the following morning after setting up camp. After a viscious skirmish Clan Ordo emerged victorious and Clan Jendri fled the battlefield for safety. Clan Ordo celebrated their victory late into the night, built a funeral pyre for the fallen honoring their memories through songs and a feast, and grieved for their fallen comrades. The next day Revan narrowed down the location of the mask to one of the Twin Spears. They climbed the spear and when they reached the top, Revan and Canderous re-discovered and investigated the secret chamber and the tomb of the Sith Lord Dramath the Second. They found the mask inside the sarcophagus. Shortly after finding the mask, Canderous's wife Veela Ordo and five Mandalorians ambushed Canderous and Revan. Revan and Canderous managed to defeat Veela and the Mandalorians.

Aftermath
After finding the mask the next day Revan told Canderous about how the Mandalorian Wars truly began and of how an emissary of the Sith Empire manipulated Mandalore the Ultimate into invading the Galactic Republic. After telling Canderous the story he asked him to stay behind, become the new leader of the Mandalorians and protect the remaining Mandalorians and the Republic from the threat of the Sith. After hearing Revan out Canderous donned the mask and proclaimed himself Mandalore the Preserver and vowed that he would restore honor and glory to his people.
