Four Fathers

Four Fathers, once known as Mt. Rushmore National Memorial, is a mentioned-only location in Fallout: Detroit. It is said Four Fathers, located in the Black Hills of former South Dakota, was the northern edge of the Midwestern Brotherhood's territory when the Brotherhood had control of the Calculator at Vault 0.

Background
The tribal village of Four Fathers, formerly Mt. Rushmore, is home to a jingoistic group who believe the four faces carved on the mountain to be "Gods of the Old World". The tribals worship the Fathers fervently, for they believe the old world ended when the Fathers became displeased with it. When the tribe first arrived, they found a cave containing historical items, recordings, and writings describing the deeds of the Fathers. These "holy relics" and legends have been passed on for generations, are kept hidden away from prying eyes, and guarded to the death. And any outsider who remarks that the second face looks like a woman meets a quick demise.

The mountain was the site of the Battle of Four Fathers, where a single Midwestern Brotherhood squad was sent to repel an invading force of four score super mutants. When the battle was over, two Brotherhood soldiers were still standing, Elder Graham's parents, and a third was injured, a Brotherhood super mutant sent in hopes of treating with his kin. The Elder's parents carried their injured comrade to the village for healing; afterward the super mutant pledged his lifelong service to the couple, service now pledged to their daughter. The couple achieved war hero status for their actions during and after the battle. The tribals were thankful the Brotherhood fought alongside them to protect Four Fathers and accepted being part of the Brotherhood's dominion.

Behind the Scenes

 * The name Four Fathers is a play on the term "forefathers".
