When the Settlers arrived in Appalachia, they did so under the guidance of Paige, a man who has seen everything the Wasteland has to throw at those remaining few who call it home. In Appalachia they found a space beset by mutants unlike those seen across their travels, monsters that threatened everything they had strove to build. But, they also found the makings of a home, a Foundation. Now, even as other figures within their ranks step up to help relieve some of the strains of leadership from Paige’s shoulders, the Foundation Authority strives to bring safety to Appalachia.
