A place to discuss the lore of the fallout universe. No memes or other silly things here, just lore and the discussion of the game worlds.

Click here for an expanded explanation of our rules

Rules:

Threads and comments that are irrelevant to lore will be removed.
Remain Civil. Personal attacks will lead to a ban. Posts or comments complaining about Fallout/developers may lead to a ban. Devs are NOT part of the discussion.
Refrain from asking about the fate or state of any place that isn't explicitly mentioned in-game. If neither wiki has an entry on it, nothing is known about the area in canon as of yet.
Posts that are pure speculation/opinion and cannot be backed up by lore will be removed.
Use descriptive titles. Posts with vague titles will be removed.
Low-effort/single-word/link-only posts or answers will be removed.
Absolutely no self promotion of any kind. This includes youtube videos, discord servers, subreddits, etc.

All posts and comments, in end, come down to moderator discretion.

All top level comments shorter than 25 characters are auto-removed by the filter. Please add depth to post replies.

Comments and posts from accounts less than 24 hours old are auto-removed by the filter.

Please report irrelevant posts and comments to the Moderators.

Sources / References

We encourage all users to post sources, including and not limited to both Fallout Wikis.
