=== History ===
In the distant future in a different timeline, Antlerism is first known, at least by the Courier, being practiced in the basement of REPCONN. How the Courier interacts with the Antlerists determines whether they live or perish. The Courier is tasked in dealing with the Antlerists either peacefully or aggressively during a quest at REPCONN, involving another spiritual group, the Bright Brotherhood. The Antlerists were originally part of Master's Army, but lost faith after the death of Master, and found a new faith in Antler.Jspoelstra. “Antler | Fallout Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia”. 30 June 2018. <https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Antler> (9 September 2019)Tagaziel. “Antler - The Vault Fallout Wiki - Everything you need to know about Fallout 76, Fallout 4, New Vegas and more!”. 6 October 2018. <https://fallout.gamepedia.com/Antler> (9 September 2019)Ant2242. “Davison's nightkin - The Vault Fallout Wiki - Everything you need to know about Fallout 76, Fallout 4, New Vegas and more!”. 23 March 2017. <https://fallout.gamepedia.com/Davison%27s_nightkin> (9 September 2019)
