Three Travelers came together and began to do the holy work for a new religious movement. Its prophet, Elkas, taught that a new age was coming in which his god, Apolina, would appear and raise the dead, bringing balance to the Wasteland. All things would be made new.

Quickly realizing their folly, the Travelers cut down Elkas and disabled the war machine just in time.

These following classes are openly allowed, but additional classes may be used if approved by the DM:
