Mother of the Fog...Fallout Lore
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2022
- Mother of the fog, Creature of The Wilds and The Messenger are just a few of the names given to the entity, the mythical spirit, worshipped by The Children of Atom. The Children of Atom say the Ghostly Figure came to them in their hour of need, after they were banished by the people of Far harbour, who were certain the noxious fog that slowly enveloped their island was the result of their religion. And so they were left to fend for themselves, on an Island that was anything but safe, but to their fortune a saintly woman came from the fog and guided them to their new home in The Nucleus, a pre-war naval facility with its very own nuclear submarine. It wasn’t long before the ghostly figure was incorporated into The Children’s religion as Mother of the Fog, a spirit that once guided them to safety and now reappears to those worthy of witnessing her presence during “holy visions”. But as to what people see during these visions can differ greatly depending on who you ask. Some describe The Messenger as a faceless figure, dressed in tatters, and most would agree with this description but also say she’s glowing and oozing fog, but not all Children agree, few believe the spirit is nothing more than a simple hermit, a helpful recluse that doesn’t like to be seen.

As requested, I have added subtitles for those who enjoy reading along. Hopefully they work as intended!
Also, Dr Henry stated he'd never seen any negative effects from Stealth Boys in humans, not that they can't occur. Remember Nightkin used them daily for quite some time and human studies are limited due to their production being rushed and their somewhat scarcity post-war. Right now we don't fully understand the technology so anything goes.
Cheers :)
sometimes i replay to hear words i misunderstood and now i can read along directly with no goof ups, thanks man 👍
@@firstnameiii7270 Me too
Thank you man, that's really nice!
Awesome! Thank you!
I once roleplayed as a character that really got sucked into the Children of Atom beliefs after seeing the radiation visions of the Mother. As a player, I didn't yet know about the truth and eventually I discovered the location with the stealth boys and her notes. The feeling of discovery when it all clicked together and the sense of betrayal for my character was an amazing roleplaying moment.
Once played a character that was completely sick of all the Islanders crap. Not one group deserved that island. So my character made a plan to destroy all the factions without firing a single shot himself. He riled up the citizens of far harbor and they attacked Acadia. After they went home the character turned off the wind turbines. Then went to convince the the Children to blow themselves up. The island has been cleansed of the monsters.
I feel like your character. All this time knowing the general Far Harbor story I had a slight animosity towards the Children but still treated them with respect in my playthroughs just because I thought the Night Mother was legit. Now me & all my characters I’ve played through with feel betrayed lol
National Treasure. That’s what you are old sport.
Fallout 4 is a great game but no one had an rpg moment like this. Stop lying.
@@codexmachina1358 I’m sorry you feel that way.
I always wondered if maybe the Mother was perhaps a ghoul, the little girl that didn't make it back to her family's faulty shelter. The one that left simple notes around the island regarding her class/family life. Having not been in the shelter, perhaps she ghoulified as a child as I seem to recall the mother vision seemed more like a young woman or girl.
Aside from which, there is also the captain's blend of the Vim drink. Doesn't it supposedly pacify sea creatures which most of the fog beasts are? If she had been drinking directly from the vats or making the stuff as the factory still has a lab, has stuff sitting around for use-not likely to have survived there for so long, had it only been pre-war. Maybe part of her eminations are actually that whatever pouring from her, vapors meant to pacify, not control so much?
Love when Fallout gets a lil' supernatural~
Ester is also a chemical compound in organic chemistry, maybe Esther is another reference to chemistry.. i’m only guessing 😅
I like your thinking!
i’m glad my suffering payed off! 😂
I don't know much about the Mother of the Fog nor the Children of Atom (never really bothered to dig up the tons of lore regarding them), so this is bound to be a great video!
I just recently finished a Far Harbor playthrough so this video is topical. I explored so much of the island I can't believe I missed the clues that she's just a reclusive woman and not a fog spawn
Amazing job on the video the lore behind The Children of Atom had always caught my attention since FO3.
Id love to see some more horror lore from any of the games from 3 to 4.
New Vegas to Virginia anything that's disturbing and scary in it self
The cinematography on this video is particularly delightful. Wonderful as always, Synonymous.
I remember playing through that mission and just going this is one hell of a radiation fuelled-drug trip
That unique Super sledge (made out of ruptured radioactive fusion cores) you get for beating that quest is one of my favorite weapons.
Yea, It makes it a good weapon against humans, and then if you’re a real sadist, you could prolly use it to heal Hancock and Strong, if the physical isn’t higher than the radiation, which since it’s a super sledge, it prolly isnt
While it is possible that negative effects could be manifested from long term stealth boy use, as of 2281 Doc Henry has yet to see any evidence or hear of any humans negatively affected by their use.
Theory: "Atom" is actually Ug-Qualtoth, or a similar being masquerading as an entity more familiar to human understanding. Would make sense, given the entities' connection to radioactivity amd being able to influence/control irradiated people, creatures
I agree with this. The usage of ghouls and people that seem to have the same resistance as ghouls as worshipers is highly suspect.
Honestly, this video is brilliant. And just got better further i watched. Keep it up. Man making quality content right here.
This is so wonderfully comprehensive!
Keep up the phenomenally amazing work!!
I was just searching for some fallout content when I got your notification. Perfect timing! Wooohooo. Thank you for saving the day 🙏
Thanks for doing this one! This was one of the things from Far Harbor I never could figure out, like it was confusing to me.
What's funny is I was just thinking "man, it's been a while since Synonymous uploaded". Hope you been doing alright
Binging videos from 3 years ago and here's another one
Amazing content, as always. Keep it up.
Holy shit I didn't think there was an explanation for the Mother. Thank you.
As always, a brilliant video. I know you've been doing these more obscure characters/groups, but I want to hear your take on the Brotherhood of Steel. Keep up the great work, my guy. Always enjoy your videos.
I'm glad someone pointed out the hermit as The Mother. I've seen other videos that didn't even mention it. Would have been nice to have the hermit wondering the island with a stealth boy. And if you actually saw the weird shimmer the stealth field gives off be able to find her. Which would be hard but awesome.
Great video. The element Mo/molybdenum is an excellent metal for making steel alloys. They use it in many industries including making weapon barrels for m4/ar15 type weapons. Go read about it, it’s neat.
Apparently it gives much more wear resistance, corrosion resistance and makes it overall sterner stuff. Add chrome lining to the bore or a barrel made with this alloy and you can fire tens of thousands of rounds with no issue.
@@joshuawesteros5345 Oh shit I didn't know that. We use it (test for it) a lot at work when we're recycling batteries. Super small amounts in the final alloys, but I didn't know the purpose at all. Cool!
Yep it’s neat stuff. I’m no expert in it, with that said apparently they use it when needing a very high wear resistance alloy. I used to be into metallurgy a bit because of knives but I reckon moly or chrome moly isn’t used with knives, not that I’ve ever seen. It’s high wear resistance would probably make it impossible to sharpen, at least that’s my first thoughts about it.
I’ve been curious about battery recycling for a while now. Got any resources showing the basic ideas/process?
Molybdenum disulphide is an excellent lubricant. Apparently it functions similar to graphite, with platelets that slide off each other.
Fallout gives perfect acid trips, first in point lookout now in far harbor, love the creepy vibe.
This stuff takes a fair amount of research. Nice work
Could you do a video on Madison Li, or maybe Mr. House? They seemed like such storied characters I figured there must be a lot to them.
Far Harbour is by far one of the best Fallout DLCs ever made.
Exceptional work as always, Sir! o7
Do you think Bethesda puts all this thought behind these connections? Or is this retroactively awesome?
Far harbor was written by will shen aka the guy who saved/made 76 bearable. F4 was a different writer
Seeing as how Far Harbor was the outlying banger of FO4, there was probably some thought
This is definitely on purpose, fallout stand out due to the environmental story telling which this is in quite alot of cases
There are tons of out if the way easter eggs and more throughout bethesdas fallout which you actually have to properly look for (cough mirelurk cakes from fallout 3 cough), i think in the creation of it all there will definitly be "lucky accidents" around but this one feels thought out and imo doubt that they will accidentally tell these things in important quest locations (like the stealthboys behind locked doors etc)
@@danieldragotti2608 he's also the same writer that fleshed out nick valentine and you can tell how much more well written he is compared to other companions in the game
@@danieldragotti2608 oh that's awesome, I didn't know!
never knew about the hermit & the stealth boy connection. thought it was just random atom cult nonsense. fascinating.
I can't wait to replay FO4
Nice analysis and investigation!
Intriguing video!
@Synonymous, you always bring us fascinating videos, guiding us through the Fallout Universe.
Hmm, I've never seen you.
Has anyone?
I was thinking about this topic the other day...time to put my psychic nullifier on.
Maybe unlikely theory, but, the "Mother of the Fog" is a glowing ghoul, much like jason bright. Maybe the stealth boys just arent rendering them as invisible as they should
That horn at the beginning of your videos is strangely unnerving and, exciting.
Great video
Time to take a trip.
Drinks Rads. See a woman
i seem to recall doc henry in new vegas saying only supermutants/nightkun are at risk of negative atealthboy effects.
Cool video, thanks! But certainly takes a bit of the mystery away. My character (I like to immerse myself a bit) certainly felt a revelation when going through that vision stuff. A "I believe!" moment.
However even knowing this as player or even char if I stumble upon it, I gotta say: Doesn't change much. If anything the thought that either someone very human and old or a ghoul (assuming the ingame model you can spawn in may not represent the actual person or character 100% as it wasn't designed to be found after all and only seen obscured) is out there quietly stalking the island and observing people and places at times while invisible is still a bit creepy.
And we know from the whole Ul-Qu... err ... the Eldritch horror stuff basically and from other lore references that there's both Aliens and the supernatural, aka in short the otherworldly. Even if the hermit is putting on a role here, there's still deeper elements of horror, the supernatural, etc.
It actually troubles or slowly corrupts my character who's (and me to some extend lol) who's in a serious mainland surface war with the BOS, Gunners and some other factions that while an intensifying war rages on where soon the Gunners may try a D-Day style landing and invasion (Sim Settlements 2 mod plot) an the BOS keep poking at places already, that in forgotten and deep and far away places, unknown alien horrors lurk and persist, everywhere and nowhere.
Especially if you found artifacts of that like the mother of fog statue (still assuming she's supernatural that is) or more so the weird Ul-Qua.. ... you know what I mean ... blade you find at that quarry where you have these visions of the past that you can't really explain by hallucinating gases as they're too specific. My character runs around with that blade and wonders what otherworldly influence migth be on it, if any. Perhaps using it as a weapon is already enough to please some otherworldy entity as you spill blood and cut with it.
Yeah, definitely gonna play my character out more like a weirdo over time getting nuts about it or corrupted mentally.
Great video as always, I'm surprised RadKing hasn't touched this topic yet... seems right up his alley.
Can you do the feral ghoul rever idk how to spell it but you get the point I haven’t found much but what are they I need to know
Please do a video on Roger Maxon
Wow! Great video! Maybe Bethesda might make her a bigger character in future fallouts. She might be the chosen one from atom. Also I never thought about her being a psychic.👍🏽☢️😊
As I delved deeper into the mystery of the Mother of the Fog, I understood that she is not alone and I believe that the letters were not written by her, but by someone else, but who? See:

giftsNEVERcease
here again someone states in the plural, points to the stealth boys under the table and I think that the stealth boys are not used by the MOTHER, but by the person who writes it and that person lives in the demolished "house", not the MOTHER.
WHO can it be?
Or MOTHER has a split personality or MOTHER wrote it while imagining that the mannequin was writing it.
I hope there are more videos about children of atom
Another great video as always. Ever think you could cover, if any lore exists, or what happened to South America as well as Africa? If I understand correctly The Resource Wars destroyed Europe, probably Australia as I feel like in the Fallout universe the British still would have control of it, and the Middle East. The Great War took out Asia and North America. But that left South America and Africa relatively unscathed from direct nuclear attack.
I feel like Australia is literally just radioactive and import free, but otherwise unchanged.
@@insomniagobrrr5542 didn't the writers for FO1 joke that it was literally Mad Max going on over there?
Might also be a fan theory, but they did admit to being inspired by the aesthetic (lotsa eastereggs to it as well).
Still, if it is Mad Max over there, doubt you'd notice much difference outside of the major cities.
Aside from my pet belief that the mutations has turned all the animals there into cute, friendly, cuddly and highly nourishing fluffballs.
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z reverse evolution in Australia is funnier than my headcannon
When I first heard of the Followers of the Apocalypse, I thought they were like those in the Atom organization. Radiation fanatics
I just enjoy hearing your voice you could read the back of the shampoo bottle and I would probably watch it twice
Those haiku poems were on point
Plottwist. Nightkin atom worshiper?
Now you got me questioning every stealth boy on the island.
glad you did this my friend
Psykers over Psychics I'm detecting some heresy against the Imperium on this channel
HONEY WAKE UP NEW SYNONYMOUS VIDEO IS OUT
Excellent thesis
I just realised there is a mistake in the periodic table. Thallium is Tl not Ti ;P
Maybe shes mutated like the human in gecko, i forget his name,as he was pushed out of human towns too.
Would you consider doing a let's play series of the fallout series?
I need to re-watch educational videos on the Nightkin.
Time to catch up with all the videos i havent watched
So awesome
can you do lore on the small greaser gangs of fallout (atom cats, tunnel snakes, or the kangs)
Who are the Kangs?
@@TheRealGameTimeits what we wuz
i swear you and Radking are the only people who've managed to get me interested in playing as a child of atom, but aint no way im uninstalling Frost right now unfortunately
I really liked the Children in Far Harbor, had a cool, creepy ultra-religious vibe
Mother of the Fog looks like Lori Lightfoot mayor of chicago. LMFAO
wake up babe new synonymous video
I had no idea the Fog Mother was an actual character until now.
When I did this quest and got to the Shrine, I had the mutant menagerie mod installed so that place was surrounded by giant Wendigos.
hey, maybe you can do a video about the chosen one?
Join us in atoms glow
4:13 Jokes on Atom i have found the place without doing the quest.
Surely the think tank would be good topic for the next adventure?
They're on my radar!
Damn I really read the title as "Mother of the Frog," ready to learn of some strange amphibian shenanigans. Still good tho
please do one on vera keyes!!!
I read the title as “Mother of the Frog”
The people who know synonymous is the best at explaining fallout lore:
The audio files played near the end of the video sound like a female ghoul. It’s possible she’s immune to radiation is because she’s a ghoul?
I don't think she necessary sounds like a ghoul, just a person trying to be creepy
Wheres the location for the house
So, the Fallout has created mysterious beings... 🤔😏
Plot twist, The Mother is Lily Bowen :D
are you following the tails of radking with making this video?
Neat. I always slaughter any and all Children of Atom on sight so this is good vid for me.
Children of atom are a mysterious folk in pagan like beliefs but they do have a interesting culture
The stranger is DiMa, the mother is an old ghoul
when did that quest I just thought WTH is going on.
I rate this a 👍👍👍👍👍/👍👍👍👍👍
Didn't Doctor Henry say that only super mutants could become addicted to stealth boys?
Dr Henry said he'd never seen humans suffer from the same effects as Nightkin, but I'd argue humans haven't used Stealth Boys to the extreme like they have
Keep it up cinnamon, love ya videos Mr. near 200K now. Can we make another bet? 250k by the start of 2024?
You're on! 😁👍
Can your character get addicted to stealth boys?
The mother of the fog looks a lot like Lori Lightfoot.
I hate the Children of Atom, I hunt them down but they’re no slouches
6:15 Umm in New Vegas it clearly states that there’s no evidence that prolonged stealth boy usage would cause any negative side effects and that comes directly from the doctor in Jacobstown.
No, Dr Henry says he's never seen humans suffer negative side effects, not that they can't occur. Nightkin used Stealth Boys daily while serving The Master, something humans (as far as we know) haven't done. Even pre-war Stealth Boys were rushed into production because of The Resource Wars. We still have no idea what negative effects occur in humans.
These people are crazy, hahaha! Hilarious
if this helps, esther is a unique fat man in new vegas
I'm early
I always thought she was a case of 'real magic' in Fallout, like the Kriv'Bek'Niv & Oswald the REAL @SS WIZARD.
She is a Wendigo (Powerful Previous-Human Spirit that roams vast territory tied to her central burial site) who takes pity on any who drink from Atom's Shrine. She's a Kind Spirit, IMO.
My head-canon is that she was a Great War Casualty who was vaporized, like how in some blast-zones there were 'blackened ash skeletons' imprinted on brick & concrete surfaces that survived. Like a Living, Thinking Ghost of Pure Radiation.
I've seen other people theorize that she's the Ghost of Longfellow's Wife & she is trying to help you because you (canonically) help Longfellow heal from his Past Emotional Damage & Trauma by traveling with him & building a settlement at his Cabin.
I personally don't think so, but it's interesting to think about.
(I think the Mother of the Fog is a much older spirit, but we are literally debating leprechauns to unicorns right now, or rather Wendigo to Skinwalkers which, were never Human-Spirits to begin with. Important distinction. Both are 'lethal & dangerous' for different reasons)
Interesting theory but Wendigos already exist is Fallout, you can fight them in 76 and they're nothing like you described.
@@elvis5008 76 is one of the most hated games in recent history.
I consider everything after 4 irrelevant.
@@Claymann71 That's not how that works.
@@elvis5008 & why not? Because you believe so?
Same with me. 76 is a joke. A circus of poor values.
It had no soul or point. A literal pointless cash grab Frankenstein's Monster of the Fallout franchise.
Worse then 3. Not as mod-able as 4.
F:NV>F4>F3>F76>F2>F1.
@@Claymann71 the game still exists in the storyline, sure it's not liked but it still exists unless someone at Bethesda days otherwise. Also I've played a bit of it and it's actually ok, not bad but not good either
