War for Zion

The War for Zion was an armed conflict between the White Legs and the native Dead Horses and Sorrows that took place in the Zion Canyon in 2281.

Prelude
Returning to his native New Canaan after his attempted execution by Caesar's Praetorian Guard's, Joshua Graham found himself accepted back into his tribe despite his deeds as the Malpais Legate. Unfortunately for the New Canaanites, Graham's survival become known to Caesar, who could not tolerate the embarassment he would face if his inability to kill the former legate became known. Caesar found a potential solution to this problem in a local tribe, the White Legs, who wished to join his legion. As a test of their worthiness to join the Legion, they were instructed to destroy New Canaan and exterminate Graham's tribe, as well as any who sheltered its surviving members.

Led by their chief, Salt-Upon-Wounds, the White Legs sacked and destroyed New Canaan, butchered its inhabitants, and salted the earth to prevent the land from being resettled. While few New Canaanites survived, Graham was not among the casualties. Together with what was left of his tribe, he traveled to Zion Canyon. While the rest of the tribe continued their flight, Graham and a fellow New Canaanite named Daniel remained in the area. Daniel began preparing the local tribe, the Sorrows, for the inevitable coming of the White Legs. Meanwhile, Graham approached a tribe called the Dead Horses, traditional enemies of the White Legs. Accepting him as a war chief, they traveled back to Zion with him to oppose the White Legs.

War
The White Legs ransacked caravans heading to New Canaan who were not aware of the news of the town's demise. Joshua Graham insisted on a counterstrike and killing the White Legs, but the Sorrows furiously demanded a ceasefire, as it would be against their beliefs.

In 2281, a Courier arrived in the Canyon. His actions could determine the fate of Zion.
