After the Great War, little was left in the wake of the nuclear assault. Caught in the midst, you seek to make a name for yourself in this...'new' world.
A safe haven for the technocrats among the dominant bear. Brotherhood knights and scribes toil away in their hole to further their goal of mastering the worlds old technologies.
Technically NCR territory, but a lack of core settlements means a disinterest in patrol. Many Wastelander and Tribal form villages across this vast land surviving the occasional Raider insurrection and paying witness to irregular scuffles between NCR patrols and those that would attack them.
The further north you go, the deeper down the Valley of Death you tread. Territory owned by the various Raider gangs that sprout the Wastes. Turf wars, nightly raids, and questionable bonfires keep this area heated year round. Only the hardiest Wanderer seeks passage.
