Reference, Lore, Character

Part 1 Reference:

so Wanderer is heavy inspired by nomadic group in since Roman era till Medieval era on exact same region. and modern version of Yugoslavia (ww2-1992) and the Crusader. lets break down,

Huns-Avars- Magyars, they all had main base in Carpathian Mountains, they all horselord with bows, the region is suitable for defense, so in post apocalypse scenario. that is most logical place to hang out.

who is Alam? his action is actually striking similar like a Attila the huns. they both ruthless, ambitious, and somehow humble.

Roman use huns to kill some german tribe as merc. so their army can stay in safe. but then huns under leadership of Attila they attack Roman.

while Red nation use Wanderer to soften local bandit and buffer zone to Yellow nation,

Yugoslavia during the Cold War offers some interesting parallels:

* Like Yugoslavia between NATO and the Soviet Union, the Wanderers are caught between the Yellow Nation and dangers to the east

* Yugoslavia, under Tito, sought independence from both US and Soviet influence. Similarly, the Wanderers, prioritize self-sufficiency and control over their destiny, driving their focus on acquiring old tech and resources.

* Yugoslavia faced internal ethnic tensions. The Wanderers have similar issues, hinted at by "corruption here and there."

* Both Yugoslavia and the Wanderers recognize the importance of a strong military for survival and fending off larger powers.

and did you know if Stalin leader of Soviet union dozen times trying kill Tito leader of Yugoslavia. but Tito reply something like this

"Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle… If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send another."

then. Stalin die first on March 5, 1953, while Tito died on May 4, 1980,

so did Tito cad team manage to do that? who knows.

Dark Crusade and allegory of Pandora Tech

In 1119, some 9 Knight in past task to guard the caravan and protect pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land during the Crusades, They were based on the Temple Mount, hence their name "Templars." then they go rich or something,

but later on they Templars found a “exoteric knowledge” beneath temple and hidden ruins, which later on some dude hate it.

in around 1300 ad, King Philip IV orders the arrest of Templars throughout France and the last Grand Master of the Templars, is burned at the stake in Paris.

same as wanderer. they like go here and there. and hence their name “wanderers” then story begun when they found the knowledge . which bit complex than a old scroll. a missile aim to yellow nation.

Part 2 Lore:

Wanderers: The Wanderer group is a private military organization that was officially founded in 2076. It is a non-government organization with the primary goal of helping people who are oppressed by tyrannical governments and groups, they've made it their mission to fight injustice and inequality throughout the world.

so in sort they are the opposite version of CIA, but they both funded by different group of Deep State/Blob, apparently not all Rich people is bad

The post-WWIII world, marked by EMP-induced societal collapse, forced the Wanderer's specialized operatives to descend into mercenary work, ultimately fading into obscurity. Their resurgence came with their integration as a branch of a rising superpower: a new Caliphate. A pivotal figure in this transformation is a former drug dealer named Carmelita. After a clash with the Caliph that resulted in her pardon and subsequent conversion, she was tasked with locating the remnants of the Wanderer group in Carpathia, a crucial buffer zone against the expanding "Yellow Nation" in Europe.
