Editing The Fallen (section)

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
The group survived the events of Gold Morning and started expanding their forces, abusing amnesty terms and continue with more clandestine activity.<ref name="P.3e1">'''Article: Fallen: What You Need To Know & Forum Thread'''<br>The Fallen operate as a cult and they’re one of the largest cape groups around.  The article doesn’t talk about it directly, but the forum thread has some great posts on the subject (see page '''3''' and '''12''').  Their recruitment numbers are swelling and I (and others!) think it’s the amnesty that’s letting them get away with it.  There’s a lot of talk of '''Lachlan Hund [article linked]''' elsewhere and there might be a court case revolving around what others are saying was a powers-assisted abduction.  Totally Fallen M.O. for years prior, family says Lachlan never showed any pro-Fallen sentiment before this. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2017/10/26/glow-worm-p-3/ Excerpt] from [[Glow-worm P.3]]</ref> According to [[Victoria Dallon]], the McVeays were functionally extinct by this point.<ref name="6.2 II"/>

The Crowley branch settled itself into a massive farming collective<ref>[[Polarize 10.4]]</ref> named Canaan a few bus trips and a long car ride outside [[The City]].<ref name="II2.1 e1">“If you want another option, we’ve got a settlement at Canaan.  Small city, even.  Or a big town.  We’ve got extra rooms, food, and dangerously strong alcohol.  We’re still trying to figure that out.”<br><br>I heard the rustle of papers.<br><br>“Canaan?” I asked.<br><br>“Yes.  Have you been?”<br><br>“I’ve heard stories,” I said.  I turned to the couple, “I’m ninety percent sure the Canaan area is Fallen territory.  Outskirts of the megalopolis.”<br><br>“We’re not really holding fast to all of that anymore,” the guy with the tattoos said.  “We said the world would end, we tried to draw attention to it, the world ended, we were right.  Now we make the best of things.”<br><br>“That seems like a pretty skewed take,” I said.<br><br>He rolled his eyes as he looked away from me.  He turned back to the couple.  “You have the directions.  Easy to catch a bus to New Haven, catch another bus to the Hartford Stretch.  Go to the address, we almost always have someone with a ride waiting there for the buses, to drive you into Canaan.  The hard work has been done, it’s easier, it’s more fun, and there’s actual community.  It’s one of the things that’s strangely missing from most parts in this city.  You’ll notice that.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/09/flare-2-1/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.1]]</ref> They lost members during the first winter on [[Gimel]], either because of exposure or sickness.<ref name="I4aII e4">“We’ve had some hard days,” he said.  “Less jobs, the strikes, the talk of war, it’s getting colder out, and I think that reminds us all of winter.  Last winter ''sucked''.”<br><br>There were more murmured responses.<br><br>“It was cold, there wasn’t enough shelter, there wasn’t enough food.  Not everyone made it.  We did better than some, but we lost six.  We remember them.  Jack, Josh, Georgia, Kiara, Christian and Rhys.  We remember them, and we remember the cold, hunger, and sickness that took them from us.”<br><br>The responses were more animated.<br><br>“May they be with the Lord.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/06/shade-interlude-4a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 4a II]]</ref> They continued recruiting new members<ref name="II2.1 e1"/> and had survivors from Fallen groups around [[Bet]] make their way toward the main camps,<ref name="II5.9 e1">“I’m not going to fucking disappear on you, Enoch.  I’m a believer.  I’ve put up with Tony, for fuck’s sake, from the end of the world to the hereafter.  Four months, I dragged him and two kids around until I found you all again.  Why would I leave now?” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/24/shadow-5-9/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.9]]</ref> thus growing faster than any other settlements made without prior help.<ref name="6.2 II e2">Rain hissed, “If I can contribute anything at all, let it be me telling you that you can’t let these guys have a chance to regroup.”<br><br>“Multiple buildings are damaged, Prancer’s group set fire to a number of them.  They’re in disarray,” Narwhal said.<br><br>“They revel in disarray,” Rain said.  “W- they were the fastest growing settlement to start from scratch.
