The Broken Antlers

Base: Hidden encampments in the dense forests near Boone, NC Interests: Preservation of mutated wildlife, resistance against technological dominance Alignment: The Broken Antlers are a faction of hunters and former park rangers who have adapted to the new world by embracing the mutations in the wildlife. They see the G.E.C.K.'s use as a threat to the natural order they’ve come to respect and live alongside. They are fiercely protective of the mutated creatures, often clashing with factions that seek to harm or exploit them.

Goals:

• Wildlife Sanctuary: Create safe havens for mutated creatures, away from the reach of those who would see them harmed.
• Natural Balance: Oppose the use of the G.E.C.K. in areas where it would disrupt the ecosystems that have developed post-war.
• Guerrilla Tactics: Engage in hit-and-run tactics against factions that threaten their cause, particularly the Ironclad Enclave.

Impact of the G.E.C.K.:

• Reluctant Acceptance: While they oppose the G.E.C.K.'s use in certain areas, they see its benefits in others, leading to a complex relationship with the Verdant Pioneers.
• Defensive Stance: The Broken Antlers are prepared to defend the mutated wilderness with their lives, fearing that the G.E.C.K. could erase what they see as natural evolution.
