Hope Eternal

"'Damned Canadarians are gonna need hope when we get to 'em.'"The Hope Eternal are one of two major factions vying for control of the city of Pueblo, and have been fighting for it for a few years. The war has been locked in a stalemate for some time, preventing the Eternals from reaching the southern portions of the city.

Society and Government
The direct descendants of the first Canadians to rebel against U.S. annexation during the resource wars, the Hope Eternal's society is one built with a large focus on freedom and a good life for their people. However, this has not been easy, as their history in the wasteland has been a turbulent one. Being unfortunate exiles of Saskatoon, the Hope Eternal has learned to become a hard willed albeit reasonable people.

The Hope Eternal is led by a man named Wesley Crites, who has taken on the mantle of leadership due to the recent death of their former leader, Christopher Crites. Because Wesley is young, the HE veteran Mikhail Urdragna has taken it upon himself to help the young man lead their people.

Population
At the start of their mass exodus, the Hope Eternal had thirty thousand people. Nearly two years later, only around ten-to-twelve thousand remain, the Wasteland having claimed a strong majority of their people. Around more than half that number are active combatants. Because of how spread out their newfound territory is, the Hope Eternal is struggling with lack of manpower. As a solution they have taken to using Power Armor stolen from the Pueblo Army Depot.
