Zion Canyon

Zion Canyon is the location in Utah $$ It serves as the game world for the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Background
Formerly the site of the Zion National Park, north of the Mojave, Zion Canyon was spared from most of the worst horrors of the Great War. In the immediate aftermath of the war, Randall Clark sought refuge in the park’s caves and lived there for many years. When a group of children arrived in the area, Clark watched over them, making sure that no harm came to them but never making direct contact with them. To the children, he was "the Father in the Cave," a purveyor of gifts and dispenser of wisdom. The children became the Sorrows, a peaceful tribe that embodied innocence, lived in peace for years, never venturing into the caves, and treating all pre-War buildings and tech as taboo.

Recently, missionaries from New Canaan in the north have arrived in the region at the behest of the tribes, to assist in protecting them. Daniel and Joshua Graham have vowed to protect the tribe by any means. Daniel wants to evacuate the Sorrows to the Grand Staircase, where they cannot be followed by the White Legs. But Graham, with the Dead Horses, wants to teach the Sorrows the art of warfare so that they may either drive the White Legs out of Zion or eliminate them for good and secure the region for future generations.

In 2281, the Happy Trails Caravan Company (the Courier among them), led an expedition from the Mojave Wasteland's Northern passage in the hopes of re-establishing contact with New Canaan. The caravan was ambushed and all but the Courier slaughtered by the White Legs. And it is then that the Courier can make decisions that impact those who live in the region.
