	~~=== [[Wasteland Tribes\|Tribes]] ===~~

	Tribal communities have existed in and around the Bonneville Salt Flats and the high desert long before any organized faction arrived. Shaped by generations of survival in harsh, unforgiving terrain, they possess knowledge of the land — its resources, dangers, and seasonal rhythms — that no outsider map or Pip-Boy can replicate. Every tribe is distinct, defined by its Elder's philosophy, values, and judgment.

	'''Why Wendover:''' They never left. This has been their territory for as long as anyone in the tribe remembers. The arrival of the NCR, the Brotherhood, and every other armed faction seeking dominion over the region is the latest in a long line of external pressures their people have endured — and outlasted. What they do next depends entirely on the Tribal Elder.

	~~'''Roles:'''~~
	* <span style="color:#d69b3d">Tribal Elder</span> — Chieftain and sole decision-maker. Sets the tribe's stance toward every outside faction for the round.
	* <span style="color:#d69b3d">Tribal Shaman</span> — Medicine person. Provides healing, herbal knowledge, and spiritual guidance to the community.
	* <span style="color:#d69b3d">Tribal Farmer</span> — Cultivates food and manages the tribe's agricultural resources.
	* <span style="color:#d69b3d">Tribesperson</span> — The backbone of tribal society. Hunters, gatherers, craftspeople — the labor that keeps the tribe alive.

	Trade caravans are the lifeline connecting isolated settlements — carrying goods, caps, information, and the occasional weapon across roads that regular travelers avoid. The Caravan Company has established supply routes throughout the region, and their continued operation is the difference between local economic activity and slow stagnation. They will sell to anyone who can pay. They stay out of wars that are bad for business. And they are harder to replace than most factions realize.

			=== [[The Enclave]] ===
			The self-proclaimed remnant government of the old pre-war United States of America. Operated by an Oligarchy of AI's, political leaders, or military leaders from the shadows. Although most of them have been utterly decimated by the combination of the NCR, the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Chosen One, there has been a spike in Enclave activity, nearly 25 years after their last major defeat at the Capital Wasteland.

			'''Why Wendover''': Given that Wendover was a major military and logistics hub before the war, it was only logical for the Enclave to set up some sort of facility, somewhere around the region. Now, it seems like they have mysteriously woken up, ready to retake America, inch by inch.{{FactionNav}}

	=== New California Republic ===		=== [[New California Republic]] ===

	The largest post-war democracy, the NCR was built on the ruins of Shady Sands and has spent two centuries expanding outward — carrying its flags, laws, and bureaucracy into increasingly hostile and distant territory. The Republic believes in representative government, rule of law, and economic expansion. Critics say it has grown too fast to deliver on its promises. Supporters say it remains the best foundation for lasting civilization anyone has managed to build.

	=== Brotherhood of Steel ===		=== [[Brotherhood of Steel]] ===

	Founded when U.S. Army Captain Roger Maxson refused his government's final orders and sealed his troops inside a California missile silo, the Brotherhood of Steel has spent two centuries hoarding, studying, and controlling pre-war technology. Their internal hierarchy is absolute and their methods are uncompromising. They do not negotiate from weakness. They do not share technology with those they deem unworthy. And they are very difficult to stop once they decide something belongs to them.

	The people of Wendover are there because they chose to stop moving and build something worth defending. Farmers, merchants, deputies, doctors, mechanics — ordinary survivors who put roots down and now have more to lose than anyone else in the region. No faction arriving with demands can change the fact that this is their home. Every negotiation, every faction deal, every compromise made on their behalf is felt first by them.
