Enclave

## Leader

* Kretin
* Tox

## Affiliation

Dragonguard

The **Enclave**, informally known as the **Johns**, was an organization created by Kretin in the Third Era. Purporting to be remnants of the First Era's wealthy elite, it was founded to bring order to the Swamplands through the defeat of so-called mutants.

Though initially created as a false-front faction intended to mock and satirize the Brotherhood of Steel, they eventually expanded their ranks and made contributions to several war efforts.

# Rules and Ranks

### Rules

    The Enclave established a list of rules for their membership:

* We must work together to exterminate the mutants and reclaim the land
* Those not significantly mutated by exposure to these untamed lands, will be allowed to join after being granted amnesty by our president, and thorough background checks.
* We do not attack members of the Enclave
* We do not sabotage our defenses or leak technology
* Stockpile all pre-war technology at HQ for re-purposing
* Respect those of higher rank
* The word of the president reigns supreme

### Ranks

The hierarchy of the Enclave was as follows:

**President**

The president, always known by the alter ego John Henry Adams, was the Enclave's head of government and responsible for creating policy and issuing missions.

**Colonel**

The colonel was commander-in-chief of the Enclave's armies and charged with carrying out the president's mission orders. Though the group's charter specified that the president's word was law, it was the colonel who was considered the true leader of the Enclave.

**Researcher**

The researcher was tasked with crafting, enchanting, repairing, and distributing weapons and armor to the Enclave's members. They were also in charge of monitoring base resources.

**Patroller**

Patrollers were frontline field operatives that carried out the Enclave's mutant eradication program, performed reconnaissance to acquire intelligence on enemy positions and numbers, and collected resources and confiscated technology for use by the organization.

# History

### Second Era

   On 2E:132, Kretin created the Enclave as a response to the formation of the Brotherhood of Steel and their controversial Proclamation of Peace issued one day prior. Their stated objective was *to rid the world of mutants and reestablish order to the lands.*

At first, the organization was merely a joke at the expense of the Brotherhood, intended to reflect their aims and leadership. They had no bases or carried out any tasks. In effect, they were a paper tiger punchline.

However, as the Steel War intensified and the Brotherhood annexed Pi Hole, Kretin decided to reform the Enclave into a legitimate military faction. Tox was inaugurated as president soon thereafter, though Kretin remained the power behind the presidency.

As enemies of disorder and chaos, they refused to worship Eris, the goddess of discord.

On 2E:140, the Enclave found the Brotherhood's headquarters in the Woodlands during a routine reconnaissance mission. While the claim was protected by magical seals from a golden shovel, the discovery later allowed the Serkrs to raid the HQ, an act that eliminated the Brotherhood as a serious threat and essentially ended the Steel War.

With their adversary defeated, the Enclave suspended their operations until further notice.

### Third Era

   On 3E:3, the Enclave answered the call of Jack Firebane and joined the Organization for Unified Chaos in declaring war on the Dragonslayers.

To face the bloodshed to come, the Enclave carried out a recruiting campaign in the community forum. They bolstered their numbers but Jack himself refused to join because he opposed their mission statement.

From a citadel erected by Kretin the faction participated in heavy urban combat during the Tower Defenses. The fighting intensified into the Battle of Northham and embroiled the Enclave into a full-scale conflict that spread across the Northlands.

Tox publicly resigned as president when he became a founding father of the Justice League. In the months to follow, the Enclave shed its veneer of righteousness and began to emulate the mutants they were formed to fight, looting homesteads and killing newcomers. Once Kretin disappeared and the Dragonslayers were banished, the once proud group fell to infighting and faded away, never to be heard from again.

# Behind the Scenes

*The following is out-of-universe information about the real world Dragonhollow.*

The Enclave is a reference to the organization of the same name from the Fallout franchise of video games. The name was chosen as a reflection of the group it was created to counter, itself based on the Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout.

The alter egos of its members are Founding Fathers and Presidents of the United States.
