Adytum

Adytum or New Adytum is a small settlement in the southern section of the Boneyard $$

Background
Adytum was settled after the war by vault inhabitants. Although the Gun Runners are present in the location, they were not from there originally. Julie Farkas mentions that the Followers of the Apocalypse came from the "Boneyards of Adytum" years ago.

The community was self-sufficient, growing its own food and manufacturing ammunition from chemical components garnered on location to exchange for necessary supplies. Adytum is home to several scavengers under the leadership of Sammael, who search the city for long lost artifacts and information.

The town is fortified by a double chain-link fence and patrolled by armed Regulators. The city trades with the Hub. The town is located near the library and Adytum residents use the Followers' resources. Tine runs a shop in a bunker by the entrance, conducting all the trade for the town. Smitty fixed things for the Hub merchants and made basic tools. The reloading of ammunition that made up the bulk of the town's exports, and Tine Taylor regularly traded ammunition for food. However, they could not make weapons as they lacked the machining tools.

Jon Zimmerman hired the Regulators to protect the town from the deathclaw and the random raider attacks. Since then, Caleb, the head of the Regulators has been exploiting the city to profit from their gun manufacturing and representing himself as the police force. Jon and his son Jason were not aware of what the Regulators were doing. Sammael attests that even the Blades are welcome if they agree to what the Regulators offer them. Citizens describe the Regulators' rule as strict. The Regulators work to convince all outsiders that they are holding the town together as its police force.

Caleb admits to the Vault Dweller that the Blades were a pathetic group and mentions that the Gun Runners were isolated by the "Deathclaw playground." The town also acknowledged the presence of the Children of the Cathedral and recognized they were not exactly what they presented themselves to be, but mostly left them be.
