Lore – Year 2377, New Dallas, Texas Commonwealth

New Dallas is a city that grew out of Vault 74. Initially, it was a refuge for humans, but over the years, the place opened up to other beings, both survivors and anthropomorphic races. Each group has left its mark here. Today, the city is a mix of cultures, interests, and ideologies—bound together by trade but divided by beliefs and loyalties.

---

🧬 Races

1. Humans

Philosophy: The humans of New Dallas see themselves as the "heirs of the ruins." Many believe that they should be the main force in rebuilding civilization, though some have begun to accept their animal companions as equals.

Traits: Diverse – from merchants and craftsmen to hydroponic farmers and former mercenaries.

Example faction:

Sons of Dallas – a human merchant guild that strives to maintain control over trade in the city. Patriots who glorify the former USA and dream of the country's rebirth.

---

2. Anthro-canids (wolves, dogs, coyotes, jackals)

Philosophy: Loyalty, pack, and community strength. Many canids see New Dallas as an opportunity to build a stable "pack" above old divisions. But there are also warlords who put strength above the law.

Traits: Excellent scouts, warriors, and trackers. They have a natural ability to work in groups.

Example faction:

Silver Fangs – a group of wolves and dogs who act as an informal city guard. They keep order, but their loyalty can be bought – with bottle caps or meat.

---

3. Anthro-felids (cats, lynxes, lions, tigers)

Philosophy: They value independence, pride, and personal strength. They believe that only the strong and clever will survive in the wasteland – the weak should be exploited or discarded.

Traits: Individualists, they often engage in gambling, contract killings, security, or trade in rare goods.

Example faction:

Claws of Luna – a feline syndicate that controls gambling and illegal fighting in New Dallas. Their symbol is a crescent moon.

---

4. Anthro-hienids (hyenas, jackal hybrids)

Philosophy: They laugh in the face of death. Their culture is dominated by the belief that the world has already burned once and there is no point in striving for ideals – you have to take what you can get while you can.

Traits: Raubritter, looters, and black market traders. Paradoxically, however, they are often the most sincere realists.

Example faction:

Claws of Death – a gang of hyenas that sells drugs, stolen technology, and weapons. They like chaos, but in return they offer some "protection" to those who pay them.

---

5. Anthro-reptiles (reptiles: lizards, snakes, crocodiles)

Philosophy: Patience, control, long-term planning. Reptiles often form their own clans with a structure resembling ancient tribes. They believe that time is their ally.

Traits: Calculating, intelligent, often acting as merchants, advisors, or hired assassins.

Example faction:

The Leather Brothers – a reptilian merchant-mercenary clan that sticks together like scales on skin. In New Dallas, they control the trade in drugs and chemicals.

---

⚔️ Main factions of New Dallas

1. New Dallas Council – composed of representatives of all major groups. Officially, it is the city government, unofficially – a place of constant bribery and intrigue.

2. Sons of Dallas (humans) – merchants and fundamentalists who want to rebuild the "old" city according to human principles.

3. Silver Fangs (canids) – guards and mercenaries who maintain order, but not for free.

4. Claws of Luna (felids) – a syndicate of cat bosses who control gambling, fighting, and nightlife.

5. Claws of Death (hyenas) – a brutal gang that controls drugs and the black market.

6. Leather Brothers (reptiles) – dealers in drugs, poisons, and strange technologies – no one knows where they get their goods.

---

⚖️ Balance of power: New Dallas exists because these factions maintain a fragile balance. Everyone pulls in their own direction, but no one wants an open war – that would attract the attention of the Republic of Texas or the Brotherhood of Steel, and that is what everyone fears.

🏙️ New Dallas – Locations and Districts

---

1. Iron Gate (entrance to Vault 74)

The former gate to the vault – monumental, perpetually open, covered in graffiti and faction symbols.

This is where newcomers are checked. The Silver Fangs stand guard, but you can enter without being checked if you pay with caps.

Next to the gates are market stalls and bars for travelers – the first thing strangers see.

---

2. Market Under the Lightbulb (main trading center)

A huge hall of a former crypt, lit by surviving generators and hundreds of oil lamps.

Everything is traded here – from caps, through weapons and food, to forbidden technology.

The Sons of Dallas have the most stalls here and try to keep order, but the black market thrives in the shadows.

Rumor has it that hyenas hide in the vents, selling drugs out of sight of the guards.

---

3. Claw Arena (felid zone)

The former recreation rooms of the crypt have been turned into an arena for bloody fights.

Gladiatorial duels, animal fights, and even factional clashes "for fun" take place here.

Luna's Claws control the arena and reap huge profits from it.

The audience is a mix of all races—for many, it is the only place where they can forget about the wastelands.

---

4. Divided Light (residential district)

The former quarters of the crypt's inhabitants, now transformed into a maze of houses, barracks, and primitive workshops.

The "ordinary people" live here – merchants, craftsmen, children.

The Silver Fangs patrol the streets, but the Claws of Death have their hideouts in basements and sewers.

The district is often the scene of minor clashes and robberies.

---

5. The Cistern (reptilian district)

A former drinking water reservoir converted into the headquarters of the Leather Brothers.

It smells of chemicals, herbs, and poisons. Reptiles run their laboratories and shops here.

Anyone who enters must pay a tax – either with caps or something "useful."

Rumor has it that deep inside the Cistern, the reptilians hide fragments of old Vault-Tec technology.

---

6. Bone Yard (hyena district)

A former warehouse filled with broken equipment, bonfires, and gang signs.

This is the headquarters of the Deathclaws – skulls and trophies from the wasteland hang everywhere.

The brutal law of the strongest prevails here. Strangers can buy drugs, strange mutagens, or weapons, but they may just as well be robbed.

Every step strangers take is watched – hyenas love to hunt those who look too confident.

---

7. Hall of Remembrance (symbol of the city)

The former control room of the vault has been turned into a "city council".

The walls are hung with remnants of old American flags and newly created faction symbols.

The New Dallas Council meets here – every representative has the right to vote, but in practice, decisions are made through bribery and intimidation.

This is where the greatest intrigues and political disputes take place.

---

8. Sin Alley

A maze of narrow corridors between old generators.

Gambling, prostitution, and illegal trade flourish here.

Officially, it belongs to Luna's Claws, but hyenas and reptilians also have their influence here.

It's the perfect place for meetings in the shadows – or for sudden "disappearances."

---
