New Canaan is a town established among the ruins of Ogden, Utah, inhabited predominantly by Mormons.

Historical background

After the fall of New Jerusalem the mormons were forced to resettle. They founded New Canaan over a period of difficult years, adopting an open and accepting policy for outsiders to avoid repeating the mistakes which ruined their last home.

New Canaan regularly sends missionaries out to preach the word of God, saying that any man who is baptised may live within their walls as one of their own. They regularly commune with the tribes of Utah, offering the bible, food, and communal help. New Canaan is generally well liked in Utah and treated warmly by most tribes.

Description Leader trait Jeremiah Rigdon People People Yes 86% Yes Consumed and made bedridden by fever as a young adult, Rigdon spent the prime of his life tossing and turning while the voice of God filled his head. Miraculously he survived the ordeal, but he was forever changed, and his renewed zeal bred division and fanaticism in the flock. Gathering a loyal congregation of his own, Rigdon was declared the next prophet of the LDS not long after his recovery. Although he initially took to his appointment with purpose and divine inspiration, his ageing body and waning interest in Church affairs have led to decadence and toxicity behind closed doors. Indeed, nobody is in a more privileged position than Rigdon to enjoy the fruits of the Canaanites labour, and those same labourers now gossip about the validity of his faith: and his decade-long absence of visions.

Behind the scenes

• New Canaan is based on the town of the same name that was to be featured in Van Buren, and was later mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas and its add-on Honest Hearts.
• The Old World Blues depiction of New Canaan was created by AntClarke, and later overhauled by HappyNTH, being their second focus tree after their work on Chichen Itza.
  • To reflect the nation's descent of decadence, as well as the straying from their faith, Jerimiah Rigdon's outfit was changed from a white shirt and blue jeans to a black suit, white undershirt, and a white-striped blue necktie displaying New Canaan's emblem.
