### The Oasis

*The Eighties fled east after [NCR.GetName]'s assaults on their base. At long last, they found a home near a pre-war town called Wendover. After conquering the small town, the Eighties had to decide.

From here the Eighties ruled with courage and greatness.

 Hear of those drivers' heroic campaigns.*

 id### The Quarrel

*It was a sunny cold day when the race took place. Before it began, Thunderbird and Flagman stood before the crowd on top of their cars. Unusually, Thunderbird demanded the inner track, claiming it for recent victories. Flagman said it was his lane by right. Their dispute escalated into the sacred word battle, and some of it was recorded by our captured scribes.

As Thunderbird said,
Puny paltry molerat, slave for half a glass,
Henpecked coward, not worth a drunkard’s oath.
Canaanite merchants bid you come kiss their ass;
They holds no love for such a useless loaf;
We know you beg more cola and vino;
Than any drunkard in distant Reno.
Pity the women who fight you off;
You as chieftain? Please, I scoff.

But Flagman was unimpressed, replying,
Slinking Sparrow, on whom do you blow your boast?
Pretending to write such slanderous screeds.
Raw-mouthed rebel, you fall down at the joust.
My songs of conquest I loose at your deeds;
You passenger, master only of mead,
Backseat driver, go live in a town
Say have mercy, or I’ll run down;
Leave your rhyming, rebel, with your wit’s weed;
Can you car even get to cruising speed?*

The cowardly man thinks he’ll live for ever, if he keeps away from fighting; but old age won’t grant him a truce even his spears spare him. Thunderbird will continue to rally warriors to his cause until the leadership crisis is resolved, but he's one hell of a warrior.

 id### What We Left Behind.

*Man for man, car for car, the NCR could never stand up to the heroes of the Eighties. We were the bards of the highway, roaming as we pleased across the open roads. But the NCR burned the corn we used as fuel; sabotaged the roads we traveled; and were, simply, too numerous to stop. We drove east seeking open land along the road we worshipped. /n/nSome in the tribe still wish to head west, but what of them? Look at our success since we headed east! Even as they drove us from our homeland, we ravaged their allies during the great exodus through Nevada. A hundredfold are the tales of respect and fear told by those who were our foes, and a hundredfold more are our own tales of greatness and daring, the legends of the Nevada Road War. For now I shall tell you the story of the time the Eighties...*

 id### The Utah Road War

*Wounded, limping, our nation lay in shamble. The dishonourable NCR destroyed us at Sac city, they came with guns, explosives, flame and steel. They killed our greatest warriors and our most honourable citizens. Our elders and our children. Our past and our future. But since we arrived in Utah, we have triumphed! Indeed,

Our beloved chief in his car,
laid out by the driver's seat
 The great gas-giver.
Far fetched treasures
were piled upon him, and precious gear.
I have never heard before of a car so well furbished
with battle tackle, might guns
and bags of caps.

Let whoever can win glory before death against our foes.*

*And so [EHT.GetLeader] stood before his new subjects
Undaunted, standing upon his car.

I believe what you have told me,
that you are a troop who will serve your new lords.*

 id### Riding Ruby Valley

*The Ruby Valley Refuge was settled by cowards who we swept aside during the Nevada road war. They fled to the Ruby Valley, but with our conquest, they've learned they could run, but they can't ride.

Two of our drivers distinguished themselves. Furiosa was able to hold a position against enormous odds, while Major Kalashnikov kept men driving through the night to strike exposed positions. Which one shall we honour?*

 id### Hammond's Heroes

*The Legion has refused to return our homeland. Sadly, our options are limited now that they rule New California and Arizona.*

**This is awful.**

 id### We Will Go Our Own Way

*Tensions between [EHT.GetLeader] and Thunderbird have reached a breaking point. The two have met on the track of Wendover to debate the future of the tribe. Flagman began with a litany of his glories -

We drove as one, hurrying on til the rest stop.
Rose before us, radiant with gold.
Nobody knew of another building like it.
Our glory lodged there,
And its light shone over many lands.

But Thunderbird pointed out the wrongs done to the Eighties -

Times were pleasant for our people,
until Tandi, a fiend out of hell,
began to work her evil in the world.*

 id### Never Going Back Again

*Frustrated and tired after hours of debate, [EHT.GetLeader] offered a compromise -

Now you hear you go again
You say you want your freedom?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it.
But thunder only happens when it's raining,
And players only love you when you're playing.
You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day.*

**Let's get some popcorn.*** Trigger news event *“The World Turning”*

 id### The World Turning

*Perhaps inspired by [EHG.GetLeader]'s proposal, Thunderbird appeared conciliatory -

Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong,
I just wanna be back where I belong.
Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right?
I just want to drive on through the night.
I'm gonna drive the first car home,
I don't know what we came here for.

You saw me boltered in the blood of enemies
When I battle and bound super-mutants
Raided a White Legs camp and in the night ride
slaughtered Vaulters. I have suffered extremes
and avenged our people.
Now I mean to be a match for [NCR.GetLeader],
settle our fates in single combat.*

**The Decision*** Trigger country event *“The Hero's Journey”*

 id### The Hero's Journey

*After the Quarrel, Thunderbird vowed to to on a Great Ride across the Wastes to gather the tools to drive west. He drive into Dark Chicago; he passed under the eyes of a dying god; he bartered with another hero of long ago; and he risked his life for people. Many times he almost died; but

Often, for undaunted courage,
fate spares the man it has not already marked.*

 id### Thunder and Lightning

*[ROOT.GetLeader], we have word from the Eighties! Thunderbird, one of their most powerful warriors, challenged their leader to a dueling . . . poetry battle and race. It appears he intends to take their people back to Sac City, and drive through our lands to do so. We would laugh at their pretensions, but many died the last time they came through, and word comes that he is traversing the Wastes to find weapons to aid his bloody drive.*

 id### The World Serpent

*The Vipers sacrifice captives to the gods of their pit, answering to [VIP.GetLeader]. But [VIP.GetLeader] refused to share her lore, and mocked Thunderbird. 'What shall I do to prove myself?,' demanded Thunderbird.

A mean and cunning woman, [VIP.GetLeader] instructed Thunderbird to spend a night in the Pit, drunk on the sacred toxin. 'All who join our tribe must pass this trial; do you have any right to do more?'

And so Thunderbird climbed down the pit, drunk on the venom, and seeing their sacred dreams.

On his first day, Thunderbird did not emerge from the pit, and they laughed. On the second day, they could not find him in the pit, and he laughed. And on the third day, he emerged from the pit, with vipers upon his arms.

'A car I saw, close to the sea.
On Shady Sands it stands,
and the doors face west.
Venom drops
through the windows down
For around the doors
do serpents wind.'*

 id### Deathclaw for a Day

*The story is that Thunderbird went to the Jackals, the eaters of the dead. He went to them as they were fixing their weapons, and fired a fine rifle, taken from a raid to the Midwest, and to them it seemed that the gun was much better. They asked to buy the rifles. Thunderbird set this price on the guns; he asked that whoever wanted it should give what he thought was reasonable. Each Jackal present fired upon the others, and there was a spray and spurt of crimson in the sun. And the bodies of the Jackals fell to the ground.

Thunderbird stepped over the Jackals, and walked into their village.

 'Do you not see,' he asked, 'what treasures shall cost?' better to live a day as a deathclaw than a thousand years as a jackal.'*

 id### Stealing from the Elves

*The story goes that Thunderbird sought wisdom and power, and went to an ancient shrine in the Nevada desert. He and his faithsworn men did battle with the elves there, and the humans who worshipped them. They say the stars falls from the sky, flaming stears steaming and fires burning, which rose high into the heavens. And heaven's bridge burned all in flame, with Thunderbird the last to drive down that road.*

*That was a true trophy that Battle-brave Thunderbird set down before them, under the garage. From the Last Saskatachewan Pirate, he stole vehicles swift and true, encased under the ice in the ghoul's lair. The weapons would do far better in the hands of heroes than in the land of the trolls and Broken Cold..*

 id### Blowing Off Steam

*And Thunderbird drove into the sticky hot heat, through the cultists' chanting. And with cunning skill, he went to the altar, in the stolen robes of a bishops, the acid words rolling off his silver tongue. To escape, Thunderbird tested warriors' bloom against their flame of faith. Escaping with his shotgun-sworn companions, a surge of water across a parched land.*

 id### The Road East

*A Mother bade Thunderbird to transport a package to Montana, a cargo of plasma and gold to an Indian Queen.

Against the Brotherhood he reddened spears and bloody cars,
burning rubber and dusty winds.
Loaded was he with thunder, and guns of lightning hue.
Knightly foes, I know they were, and Enclave guns all anew.
Thunderbird howled and bit his wheel, under endless sky.
Home from Montana, hastened he westward,
Waiting for her favour, and to hear once more her sigh.*
