The Saviours of Oblivion

The Saviours of Oblivion ( Spanish : Los Salvadores del Olvido ) / ( Neo - latin : Salvatores Oblivionis ) are a splinter faction of the Followers of the Apocalypse with strong influences from the Brotherhood of Steel and Caesar's Legion. Which are dedicated to the recovery of all kinds of knowledge and culture, not just technology. As well as trying to rebuild the world to a better version of what it was before the Great War.
== Origins ==
The Saviours of Oblivion were formed in response to the extreme pacifism demonstrated by the Followers of the Apocalypse at some point between the years 2277 and 2281. The organisation was founded and was led by Mirko Sarik a former tribal educated by the organisation, who, tired of the abuses The Followers suffered from larger organisations, confront them. Inspired by the actions of Edward Sallow and the Brotherhood of Steel's devotion to preserving technology, he decided to change his name to Maxim Geta and re-civilise the wasteland in his own way. A way, he felt, more appropriate than how the other factions were doing it.  
Maxim, was considered crazy among several members of the organisation there in the Angels' Boneyard. But for many others, he was right, so they followed him and thus, The Saviours of Oblivion, were born. 
== Rapid Growth ==
The rapid growth of the organisation has not only been due to the charisma of its leader. It has also been due to the use of technology and weapons, combined with the humanitarian aid characteristic of the Followers, and the West Coast Brotherhood of Steel, with the recruitment type of the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel. Plus the sense of purpose of Caesar's Legion. 
This led to a sufficient number of people to control a large part of the territory of Baja California.
== Differences and similarities with the Brotherhood and Caesar´s Legion ==
Its main similarities with both organisations. It is the use of advanced weaponry and power armour and the use of Greco-Roman culture as a way to re-civilise the wasteland. Although in the case of the Saviours, it is more of a Renaissance-like, but more extreme, rather than a brute way of civilising tribes. 
Although they do not refuse to use weapons when they need to, nor technology (unlike the Legion) and agree on the aspect of re-civilising the wasteland. They prefer peaceful integration, rather than war. Only in extreme cases, they have fought tribes that have resisted their presence. 
Its use of Greco-Roman culture as a template is not only ascribed to the Romans, but also to the Greeks, from the Minoans to the Byzantine Empire.
Unlike the Brotherhood, they do support the development of new technologies. As a result, they have managed, for example, to develop their own power armour. 
== Divisions ==
Being an anarchist society, it does not have divisions as such, but rather, subgroups. Each one specialized in different subjects. Some examples are the next.
* Tutela : Its translation would be Protector. Its name, is inspired in the ranks of the True Eastern Brotherhood of Steel, thanks to rumors heard from members of the Brotherhood of Steel in California. Their function, as their name indicates, is to be the servo armor bearers and soldiers of the organization. Protect caravans, diplomats and recover knowledge of dangerous areas.
* Carer : They are the closest thing to a standard member of the Followers of the Apocalypse. They are essentially dedicated to improving the sanitary conditions of the wasteland and educating its people. Among them, there are usually missionaries, so the religious factor is also important.
* Conditor : Architects, specialized in restoring old buildings that are still standing or how to destroy them, recycle materials and create something new. 
== Territories ==
Its territory includes a large part of Baja California. And some small posts in different parts of the wasteland, especially in the wasteland of northern Mexico. This has allowed the organisation to begin expeditions across the globe in search of more knowledge to preserve and people to recruit. 
== Diplomacy ==
Because it owns a large part of the territory of Baja California. They have no major factions, and no major nations with which they border. With the exception of the Republic of New California. Who, due to their expansion into the Mojave, diverted much of their troops from their expansion into Baja California. This weakened their power and allowed the Saviours to take over the territory. 
The Saviours have had slight contact with Caesar's Legion. Minimal, but they have managed to establish relations that could be described as cordial. 
This is due to certain similarities between the two factions. Their rapid growth, and despite disagreements with the more conservative sectors of the Legion, the possible union of the two, after the synthesis of the Legion with the NCR, led to their transformation, so to speak, into the scribes and sages of this new Legion, with its capital in New Vegas ( also known as Nova Roma in some parts of the Legion territory ) 
Marcus Valerius, leader of the Northern Legion. He was one of the diplomats who made contact with the Saviours, who, along with his past in the Brotherhood, he took as an example for the reforms he would make to the Legion based at The Frontier. 
Because of this, the diplomatic situation, while good, is tense at times. But there is not much the NCR can do, because of its expansionist plans to the West.
== Religion ==
As a splinter branch of The Followers of the Apocalypse originally did not have a religion. But with the passage of time and the integration and education of tribes, they acquired their own, mostly tribal beliefs. Catholic Christianity added later to the mix imported from the settlements in Baja California that joined them. Until eventually they all converged into one, thus the Cult of Metis was born. A religion, which combines tribal aspects, Catholic Christianity and the Greco-Roman template used by the Saviors, which is dedicated to the worship of knowledge, its acquisition, preservation, sharing and discovery, as a way to come to understand their divinity. 
Among the more religious, it is said that Metis, along with other titans, wiped out humanity because it had become too arrogant, and she was especially angry with the United States for not sharing the discovery of the nuclear fusion energy with the rest of the world. 
== Settlements ==
Due to the scarcity of resources in the area, and the fact that they have been forced to trade, despite their advanced technology, not all Savior settlements have state-of-the-art technology, although they do have a quality of life far superior to that of the average wasteland. How could it be the case, of the legend of the city of Barcino, in European territories.
Some of the most notable settlements are the following :
* Barcino Nova ( Capital ) : Capital of the territories of the Saviors of Oblivion. Former Ensenada, reoccupied by the organization, after the tribal assaults that expelled the NCR due to all the personnel that were assigned to the Mojave Campaign. Currently, it is the most rebuilt city by the organization. It almost looks like a city of the Old World. Its buildings are characterized by a hybrid style of architecture between neoclassical and Shady Sands architecture, which was eventually carried throughout the Republic. 
* Enseñada ( Translated as "taught" ) : A tribute, made to the original Ensenada, by the Mexicans who joined the organization. It is called the City of Knowledge and is one of the few settlements, which has been built from scratch and not taking advantage of existing structures. It is one of the few places (other than the Brotherhood of Steel or the Angels' Boneyard Library) where more knowledge is safeguarded ( At least as far as is known, there is )
* Nova Troya : Settlement, reminiscent of Rivet City in the Capital Wasteland. It is based on one of the aircraft carriers sent by the United States to occupy Mexico also by sea during the Resource Wars. Most of the inhabitants of this settlement have composed or proposed groups dedicated to expeditions around the globe.
== Form of government ==
The Saviors' form of government is, however, still very much influenced by their parent organization. But instead of being an anarcho-pacifism, it could be classified as an anarcho-monarchism. which was adopted, after Maxim found and preserved the forbidden book written by Insula Qui. In addition to reflecting on the problems of governance that the Legion had in the long term.
This has meant that each settlement has its own development, without any interference, with the exception of attacks by rivals, where all defend or recommendations, which are not Maxim's orders. By making Maxim, instead of being a tyrant, more in line with the definition of : Monarch acting as a Guide for a Anarchist Society without being a actual governing force.
This form of government was chosen because, in the opinion of many of the organization's members, it was the states and not the people that caused the post-apocalypse. Taking the form of anarcho-monarchism as an example, since to prosper in the wasteland, it is not possible with democratic anarchist societies, but with strong leaders, because otherwise, you will be destroyed by your enemies. 
== Language ==
The organisation essentially uses three languages: Standard American English (due to the organisation's origins) and as a method of communication with the rest of the wasteland. Standard Mexican Spanish ( due to the organisation's expansion into Hispanic America ) and neo-Latin ( Essentially used, for intellectual works ) Inspired by the monks and sages of the Middle Ages in the Christian and Muslim world to preserve knowledge for the future. 
Many members, however, would like to make this language the official language of communication. 
==Meaning of the logo==
The logo is said to represent a ray of light entering and illuminating the darkness of the world. Its position from top to bottom would be a representation of how knowledge comes which divine power and illuminates the world, which has become an abyss.

* I know that Barcino is part of the Legacy articles, but it was the page that brought me here, and I wanted to pay tribute to it.
