I tell them to read and to learn and to make the most of their new home. I tell them I'm giving them Zion as a gift to make up for all the sorrows of their lives so far and all the sorrows man has visited on man. I tell them to be kind to each other and modest. I tell them never to hurt each other but that if someone else comes along and tries to hurt them to strike back with righteous anger.

Randall Dean Clark, do Diário de Randall Clark

Os Sorrows são uma tribo vivendo em Zion Canyon em 2281.

Enredo[]

A história dos Sorrows é intimamente ligada à sua religião. Os Sorrows originais eram um grupo de crianças. Eles falavam Inglês e eram literados, e tinham escapado um lugar conhecido apenas como "The School." Nad é conhecido sobre este local, exceto que as crianças se assustavam com histórias do "The Principal."[1] Menos de um ano depois, as crianças chegaram em the Narrows,[2] anotações e presentes começaram a aparecer do nada. No início, livros de histórias, mais tarde, livros médicos e manuais de armas os substituíram; o tipo de coisa que ajudaria as crianças a sobreviver no mundo pós-apocalíptico.[3]

Todas as anotações eram assinadas pelo "Pai." Algumas contendo conselhos práticos, outras fornecendo orientação espiritual, aconselhando-os a ler e aprender, serem justos e modestos, para proteger uns aos outros e lutar somente aqueles que representam uma ameaça à eles, além de os dizer que Zion era o presente do Pai para eles, como um pedido de desculpas pelas tristezas de suas vidas e as tristezas da Grande Guerra.[3]

Eventualmente, os presentes tornaram-se cada vez mais raros, e um dia uma anotação final foi descoberta. Ela continha uma mensagem pessoal para cada membro individual do grupo, uma garantia de que suas naturezas bondosas agradaram ao Pai e uma mensagem de que o Pai se afastaria de suas vidas, mas manteria uma vigília silenciosa.[3]

Guerra por Zion[]

Depois do saque de New Canaan, os New Canaanites fujiram a Zion Canyon e trouxeram os White Legs com eles. Com sua chegada e um assaulto em todas as tribos, os idosos e crianças dos Sorrows foram evacudaos para Dead Horse Point.[4] Daniel esteve em contato com a tribo por pelo menos seis anos e está tentando fazer as pazes com a tribo por trazer os White Legs e por a tribo em risco.[5][6]

Sociedade[]

Os Sorrows são um tribo amigável, e possui uma cultura baseada em caça, ao invés de uma baseada em guerreiros. Seu ritual de passagem reflete isso; envolve um jovem Sorrow caçando e matando um yao guai e criando uma yao guai gauntlet à partir de sua pata.[7] De acordo com essa crença, as Sorrows têm almas sensíveis e inocentes e choram a perda de todos, mesmo daqueles que procuram machuca-los, como as White Legs.[8] Eles parecem também ter criações de geckos normais, já que muitos podem ser observados no se acampamento e são amigáveis.

Todos os tribais dos Sorrows se tatuam com o símbolo do Virgin River. Esse símbolo destina-se a lembrá-los dos sofrimentos que a tribo teve que enfrentar para chegar ao ponto em que estão agora e para mostrar sua conexão duradoura com o Virgin River, além de, em parte, Zion e a natureza como um todo.[9]

Ghost of She[]

O Ghost of She é uma lenda que incorpora a cultura Sorrows. De acordo com Waking Cloud, uma garota inteligente e curiosa viveu entre a tribo Sorrows há muito tempo. Um dia, ela escapou do acampamento e foi brincar nas cavernas próximas. Ela não sabia que yao guais dormiam nessa caverna, e ela foi morta por um. A tribo chorou com a perda e porque a menina morreu antes do dia de receber seu nome, seu fantasma permaneceu inquieto e continuou vagando pela terra. Vários caçadores tentaram matar a fera, mas não tiveram exito. O shaman da tribo falou que, porque a besta havia consumido a menina, os dois agora eram um.[10]

Religião[]

A religião ancestral dos Sorrows envolve o culto exclusivo de um espírito conhecido como "O Pai na Caverna" quem ajudava os primeiros Sorrows à encontrar seu lugar em Zion e fornecia-lhes presentes para ensiná-los a sobreviver no mundo recentemente destruído.[11] As cavernas em que o Pai habitou são consideradas sagradas pelos Sorrows; entrar em qualquer uma dessas cavernas é proibido e considerado tabu; e aqueles que as procuram são tirados deste mundo.[11][12][13] Para garantir que essas cavernas permaneçam intocadas, elas são marcadas com impressões de mãos brancas.[14]

Daniel têm ultimamente tentado converte-los para o mórmonismo, e possui alguma experiência de suceso devidos à paralelos entre as duas religiões.[15][16] Daniel aparentemente não está ciente de sua falha em transmitir sua mensagem com clareza.[17]

Língua[]

Artigo principal: Língua dos Sorrows

A língua falada dos Sorrows, como a dos Dead Horses, é uma combinação de Res e uma linguagem falada por turistas que estavam visitando Res quando as bombas caíram. Ela parece com uma combinação de Inglês, Espanhol e com um pouco do que parece Japonês.[18]

Bastidores[]

Bastidores

[H]ow the DLC shipped was not how it was planned. The tribes in Zion are descendants of a mix of North American native people as well as other American citizens and European (of various non-native ethnicities) tourists/campers. This survives in the language of the Dead Horses, for example, who use a large number of German-derived words.

In the first design docs for HH, every tribe was supposed to have members from all of the F3/FNV ethnic groups. However, there was a complicating factor: body art. The various tattoos and body paints we needed to texture the bodies multiplied the number of required textures. They couldn’t simply be layered on (as they can in F4), but were entirely new body textures that dramatically increased the amount of texture memory being used. For that reason, each tribe wound up having only one body texture per sex. This compressed their ethnicities into homogenized blends, with Dead Horses being a darker tan, Sorrows a light tan, and White Legs (under the body paint) fairly pale.

As a minor point, Daniel was specifically supposed to be (and was, in data, for most of development) Asian. I don’t know when, how, or why he was switched to Caucasian, but that’s how he shipped. It’s frustrating, because those changes slot Joshua and Daniel as white guys among (mostly) brown folk when 1) they weren’t supposed to be white guys and 2) the tribes were specifically called out as ethnically and culturally mixed without any real-world analogues.

Regarding the “natives as aesthetic” criticism, the patterns we used for the three tribes’ body art are not based on any current or historical native American body art (AFAIK). There are in-fiction explanations for each tribe’s specific choices. The White Legs initially colored themselves white to blend into the Great Salt Lake (where they are from) and they dread their hair out of reverence for Ulysses. The Sorrows use the river pattern to reflect their suffering and their connection to the Virgin River in Zion. The Dead Horses mark various accomplishments on their skin and decorate their clubs with .45 shells out of their respect for Joshua Graham.

  2. Courier: "Tell me more about your tribe."
    Waking Cloud: "We have dwelt in the Narrows since the End That Came In Fire, when the Father in the Caves punished the world and made us forget the holy tongue. We have had good relations with the other tribes in the valley. At least, before Salt-Upon-Wounds brought his White Legs here. We have Daniel to thank for our continued existence. His advice and help has kept the White Legs from overrunning us so far. I do not know how long even he can protect us, though."

  4. Courier: "What's your deal?"
    Waking Cloud: "Waking Cloud is my name. I am midwife to the Sorrows. It sounds ill-omened, no? "Midwife to sorrows.""
    Courier: "Midwife? I haven't seen any children around."
    Waking Cloud: "The children and the old have already been evacuated from the camp. They are safe enough, unless the White Legs come for us in force."
    Courier: "What do you do when you're not delivering babies?"
    Waking Cloud: "I tend to other hurts and sicknesses that afflict our tribe. I also scout the valley for the herbs I use in my medicines."
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  5. Courier: "Have you known him long?"
    Waking Cloud: "Six years. He attended the birth of my third child. It was a hard birth. The River nearly carried my water to the Father, and my child's with it. Daniel knew the ways of New Canaan's medicine. He stepped in and saved both of our lives. After the birth, I asked Daniel if he would teach me what he knew of childbirth. He agreed, and so here I am."
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  6. Courier: "You said you "used to" help the Sorrows with problems. What do you do now?"
    Daniel: "I'm trying to make amends for allowing our problem to become their problem. The New Canaanites, I mean. The White Legs have always fought with us, and with Joshua returning, Caesar has motivated the White Legs to stamp out the New Canaanites entirely. That means the tribes we work with, too. It's already hap- I just want to prevent something terrible from happening to the Sorrows."
    (Diálogo de Daniel)
  7. Courier: "I like your bear glove. Where can I get one?"
    Waking Cloud: "A Sorrow's Yao Guai Fist is a sacred symbol. It shows that we belong to the tribe and have willingly undertaken a dangerous quest to aid the tribe. Each Sorrow makes his own - and only after hunting and slaying a Yao Guai that threatened our people. Our shaman, White Bird, oversees the rites. Perhaps if you spoke to him, he would allow you to undertake such a quest."
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  8. Daniel: "The Dead Horses told me details about the attack on your caravan. A stranger's sympathy might not count for much, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry. The Sorrows will mourn your friends, too. They mourn everyone, even the White Legs. They have sensitive souls. Innocent, if there is such a thing. In spite of what's happened, I hope that Joshua and I can help you out of here. But to be frank, we need your help, too."
    (Diálogo de Daniel)
  9. Josh Sawyer's tumblr "The Sorrows use the river pattern to reflect their suffering and their connection to the Virgin River in Zion."
  10. Courier: "Tell me about the Ghost of She."
    Waking Cloud: "That is a sad story. I do not like to tell it, but if you are asking, it must be at White Bird's request. That, I will honor. Long ago, a girl lived among this tribe. She was a curious child, and a clever one, and her mother had a devil's time watching over her. One day, the child slipped away from camp and went to play in the caves nearby. The girl did not know that a Yao Guai slept in that cave. The girl died. The tribe wept, for the girl had died before her naming day, and her ghost would remain restless and wandering upon the earth. Many hunters tried to kill the beast, but it eluded them, or drove them off. The shaman said that since it had consumed the girl, the two were one. So we call the beast Ghost of She, for the child had no name to be called. That is the story of the Ghost of She. It is a sad story. It is our story."
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  11. 11,0 11,1 Courier: "Who or what is the Father in the Cave?"
    Waking Cloud: "Have you not heard of the god of the New Canaanites? He is our protector and our judge. He helped our ancestors find their place here in Zion. He gave us many gifts, but we are not to seek him out. His caves are forbidden to us. Those who seek them out are taken from us."
    Courier: "That doesn't sound like what I've heard about the New Canaanites...."
    Waking Cloud: "Perhaps you do not fully understand the New Canaanites. I have seen the Father's images. His holy bride and holy son were given unto the world to save it. They dwelt in the caverns of the mountains, caverns which can still be seen today. The people sinned against Him, and were punished with the End That Came in Fire and the loss of the holy tongue. Only the New Canaanites were spared."
    Courier: "I see. That's fascinating."
    Waking Cloud: "I'm sure Daniel could tell you more. His knowledge of the Father is greater than my own."
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  12. Waking Cloud: "These are places of the time before. We should not be here - it is forbidden!"
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  13. Courier: "Taboo?"
    Joshua Graham: "The Sorrows believe in a spirit that lives in the caves, say the spirit punished them once for trespassing. They put special marks around the cave entrances to keep people out. It doesn't work on the White Legs, of course, but the Dead Horses are spooked."
    (Diálogo de Joshua Graham)
  14. Follows-Chalk: "See those handprints? Dead Horses and Sorrows mark them on taboo places, places from Back When. Good thing for you I don't buy into that stuff."
    (Diálogo de Follows-Chalk)
  15. Courier: "What do you do here?"
    Daniel: "I used to help the Sorrows with various medical problems and general issues they were having, but my bishop sent me here as a missionary. We New Canaanites believe that there is a path to salvation for everyone and it's important that we set people on that path if they are willing."
    (Diálogo de Daniel)
  16. Courier: "Give me some info on this Daniel. Who is he?"
    Waking Cloud: "Daniel is a wise man, and a great friend to the Sorrows. He taught me to speak the language of New Canaan - the English from the holy books."
    Courier: "Holy books?"
    Waking Cloud: "Yes - the language of the New Canaanites is the holy tongue, for it is the language their sacred books are written in. The Father in the Caves brought it to them after the Judgment, but the ancestors of the Sorrows sinned against Him. They were denied the true tongue."
    Courier: "Have you known him long?"
    Waking Cloud: "Six years. He attended the birth of my third child. It was a hard birth. The River nearly carried my water to the Father, and my child's with it. Daniel knew the ways of New Canaan's medicine. He stepped in and saved both of our lives. After the birth, I asked Daniel if he would teach me what he knew of childbirth. He agreed, and so here I am."
    (Diálogo de Waking Cloud)
  17. Courier: "What do you know about the Father in the Caves?"
    Daniel: "Father in the? Oh, right. He's some spirit the Sorrows used to believe in, watched over them from the caves in the valley. They marked some of the caves around here because they think they'll be punished for going inside. I think as more of them learn the teachings of the New Canaanites, they'll lose their old superstitions."
    Courier: "Uh... you might want to have a chat with them. They think your "Lord" and the "Father" are the same."
    Daniel: "Oh. Ah. Of course. How stupid of me. They probably also think Mary is the mother and Jesus is the child. No wonder they picked up on things so easily. I guess it just goes to show how difficult it is to communicate sometimes."
    (Diálogo de Daniel)
  18. Courier: "Do they speak... our language?"
    Joshua Graham: "Most don't. It's been hundreds of years since the war. They've developed their own languages. Take the Dead Horses. We think they were originally refugees from a place called "Res," east of the Grand Canyon. They speak a combination of Res and a language spoken by travelers who were visiting Res when the bombs fell. Over time, the two languages blended. I was a translator years ago, but it's hard to keep up with all of the tribal variations."
