Chapter 1: Promises of a New Land/Prologue
After the encompassing events that followed the arrival (and departure) of Courier Six in Zion, The Burned Man decided that it was time to leave Zion behind and search for a new life. The tribes of Zion were strong now and would appoint a worthy leader in his absence.
During the Courier's short stay in Zion, he spoke to Graham about an 'unspoken land'. This land was, supposedly, untouched by the war and the people of the Wasteland, including Caesar and The NCR. The Courier had told Graham that he was headed to this 'unspoken land' after he resolved the chaos that ensued in the canyons of Zion.
The Courier had offered to take Graham with him as he traveled to this new world and, upon hearing of the death of Caesar himself, he decided that it would be a good choice to remake himself as a new person. This 'unspoken land' brought many promises with its name, and Graham would claim those promises offered to him.
Ensuing the fall of the white legs and the safety of Zion, the Courier departed with Joshua Graham for the new land they had once spoken of.
Promises of the new land came from the west, through NCR territory. These promises had not revealed their source, but Graham and the Courier would travel west, in search for the source of the rumors or the new land itself.
Treading on the Bear's territory was a risk that Graham was willing to take. This new land would be worth the sum of his pain that he would evoke traversing the Bear's land.
The pair walked west for months. They encountered more problems than The Bear. The creatures of the waste were harsh and unforgiving. The Divide was relentless, a hell on earth. In The Divide, they met a man named Ulysses. Although Ulysses was a broken man, this man was wise, if you had a question, there was always an answer from Ulysses.
His life in shambles, Ulysses was offered a spot in the party, which he gladly accepted.
The new found trio journeyed further west to find the land they had promised themselves.
