Circle Junction is a location somewhere near Denver, where the Iron Rivers tribe lives.

Background[]

Gametitle-VBThe following is based on Van Buren and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

The exact history of the Iron Rivers tribe is unclear. They are said to have come from some place to the West many years ago, and to have once been part of another tribe but have become ostracized. They survived many hardships before finally coming to the "Great Circle", known as Circle Junction to outsiders, where they have lived ever since. The Iron Rivers tribe was led to Circle Junction, following the path of a great roaring machine that had disappeared. They believe it to be a sign that the old world is waking up.[1]

Gametitle-VBEnd of information based on Van Buren.

Not to long after Caesar's Legion came into being, Circle Junction fell under the sphere of influence of the Legion, though not conquered. It is used as breeding grounds, where the Legion periodically invades to gather slaves.[2]

Even further West than that, Brahmin drives on the Big Circle. Whatever you saw out there, wasn't enough to make you stay. Maybe the markings on the package reminded you of the road home."
