The Rotpurgers are a raider nation based in East Washington.

Historical background

In the lands of Spokane, the human remnants of Vault 100 seethe in the cold ruins, hoping and plotting to retake their birthplace from the Ghouls of The Old Country once and for all. After years of stagnation under the dynasty of Alexander the Merciless, and flanked by the raging clergy of the Wishmaidens, a mad 'infinity prophet' named Samson has arrived with a plot to unite the three and strike back at the Vault, once and for all.

Politics

National spirits

The Rotpurgers start with two national spirits:

Legacy of Vault 100

• War Support: +15.00%
• Division Defense on core territory: +6.0%
• Military Factory construction speed: +15.00%
• Civilian Factory construction speed: -10.00%

• Reconquering Spokane and erradicating the Old Country will grant us access to the decision to Form the Grand Inquisition.

Vault 100, built under pre-war Spokane, was one of the largest Vaults ever constructed by Vault-Tec. Designed to house over 1200 occupants, the Vault was purposefully built large to facilitate the twisted experiment run within its walls. Under the careful observation of the Overseer, radiation was purposefully let into the living quaters of a portion of the Vault's occupants. For the first decade the effects were unnoticable, but over time a significant minority of the Vault Dwellers slowly mutated into intelliigent ghouls. Those Dwellers who remained 'pure' grew horrified of their irradiated kin, and before long civil war broke out in the Vault. The ghouls gained the upper hand when they seized control of the Overseer's armoury, forcing the human faction to make their escape to the surface and flee east. Now, we remain in control of Spokane, but the ancestors of the humans who were hellbent on erradicating us seem to still want revenge.

The Eternal Quest of the Pure

• Occupation Appeal: -25.00%
• Our hatred of those twisted by radiation means we cannot choose to recruit any form of mutants.

• Demolition Equipment
  • Production Cost: -8.00%
  • Soft attack: +6%
  • Hard attack: +3%

Ever since out exile from Vault 100, our rightful home, we have been plotting our vengence. Armed with flamers, our prefered Ghoul-exterminating weapon, and three generations of training and planning, we are finally ready to reclaim our home. We will make Spokane burn bright in the night, if that's what it takes to kill the ghouls once and for all.

Leaders

Main article: Political parties and leaders

Portrait Leader Ideology Party In power (2275) Popularity Unique portrait? Description Leader trait The Lady of the Lake People Wishmaidens No 31.00% Yes Few have ever set eyes upon the aptly-named Lady of the Lake, once known as Creusa, a mysterious woman who communciates through sickly song and corrupted words as the psykers of Oregon do. Those who had forsaken their past championed her name under the Wishmaidens tribe-- now, however, the tribe has become more a clergical order. Creusa guides the Wishmaidens with a soothing (if not terrifying) hand and words that turn foes into friends. She envisions a word crafted in her ideals and will stop at nothing to achieve them. Cruel Tyrant Augustus Allen Intellectuals Warden Deserters No 2.00% No --- Quartermaster General Jacobia the Wrathful Elites Jacobia's Faithful Yes 45.00% Yes Jacobia the Wrathful, fifth leader of the Rotpurgers and a descendent of Alexander the Merciless, leader of the Great Revolt, earned his name for a reason. Famed across Washington for his limitless hatred for ghouls, Jacobia assumed the mantle of leadership at the young age of 22. Ever an idealist, Jacobia has long dreamed of reforming the Rotpurgers into a more formal organisation with the chief purpose of erradicating ghouls wherever they may arise. After all, the ghouls killed many of his ancestors: it's time for the humans to take their revenge. Warmonger God-King Samson Ruler Knights of the Infinty No 22.00% Yes A deranged sycophant under Jacobia's reign of the Rotpurgers, Samson's ambition outweighs his own moral code. Left with nothing but a mystical orb to guide him, he has since assumed the title of Infinity Prophet. At the mantle, Samson seeks to claim what he sees as his divine birthright. For him, adversaries are but future subjects, ignorant to his grandeur. By the end of his scourge, should he succeed, all will bow to the one they call Samson. Cruel Tyrant
