Gourmands

The Gourmands were one of the five raider gangs operating in Appalachia. Like the other four gangs, they were wiped out by a combination of radiation and the Scorched Plague. They make an appearance in Wastelanders.

Background
One of five raider gangs that formed in the Savage Divide, the Gourmands formed a pact with the other four gangs to share spoils and protect against the more law and order factions, like the Responders. The Gourmands are noted as being cannibals.

After they relocated to Bolton Greens, the gang fell into infighting when it was discovered the then leader Morris Stevens had started eating fellow members. After Morris was relieved of his leadership position, he and his wife, Edie Stevens, moved away to live inside the wendigo cave, where he subsequently ate her.

Members of the Gourmands frequently attempted to use human flesh in place of caps with raider vendor bots, to the point where a message specifically telling Gourmands it wouldn't be accepted was programmed into them.

After the opening of Vault 76 and the return of human life to Appalachia, the Gourmands re-emerged. Operating from the Watoga Underground, their role in the future of Appalachia remains to be seen.

Quests
