Jericho (town)

Jericho was a location planned to appear in Van Buren, Black Isle's canceled Fallout 3 project.

The Jericho Water Plant is located near the shore of the Great Salt Lake and is controlled by New Canaan. The water desalination plant is the source of New Canaan's prosperity, and brahmin-pulled water caravans from Jericho are becoming an increasingly common sight in the wasteland. Aside from New Caanan mormons operating the plant, Jericho is also home to a weird cult that lives in the caves near the plant.

Behind the scenes
The leaked version of the Jericho design document the result of merging the original Jericho with New Canaan, after the latter was cut from the game because of time constraints. No document for the original Jericho was ever released, but some information about it was leaked.

Given that the New Canaan design document was what was intended to be part of the game and was cut only because of time constraints and that it is more consistent with other design documents, the version described in the New Canaan document is generally considered in this wiki as more of a canon depiction than the Jericho document and takes priority when Van Buren lore is described.
