Christine's lore:

Christine Royce of the Brotherhood Of Steel found herself embarking on a new mission, one that carried her to almost certain death. She took it upon herself to track a former member of the Brotherhood named Elijah who disappered after a massive battle that almost cost the Brotherhood everything. Elijah was one step ahead though and caught Christine and put a bomb collar on her brought her to a old world casino named The Sierra Madre. She alongside 3 other poor victims of Elijah were forced by him to open the casino and uncover the secrets within. If it were not for one kind soul who ended up sparing Christine and convincing her to let go of her grudge she would have died in that old world relic. After Elijah was defeated only she remained at the Sierra Madre watching over it as its guardian and making sure its secrets could never be buried, until a new fog washed over her foreign to the blood red cloud she was used to and ushered her into a new nightmare…..

Dean Domino's Lore:

Dean Domino famous lounge singer and con man earned himself a place among the rich and famous earning himself an invite to a newly opened casino named The Sierra Madre. Dean soon became jealous of the Sierra Madre's creator, a man named Fredrick Sinclair and plotted to steal away his riches hidden within the Sierra Madre's vault. Knowing he would need help Domino enlisted Sinclair's former lover Vera to help in this scheme but Vera became hesitant leading to Dean blackmailing Vera. But this plan came to a halt when the bombs dropped and the casino went into lockdown the radiation making Dean a ghoul and alone at the now desolate casino. But what seemed to be another case of bad luck turned to his favor when a madman named Elijah roped Dean into a heist on the casino. Dean alongside 3 others was successful getting in and thanks to the "partnership" he made with the leader of this little crew managed to slip free of the bomb collar and left the Sierra Madre for somewhat greener pastures. Vegas was in his sights until a colder, darker fog consumed him and brought him into a twisted game.

You’ve heard of the Sierra Madre Casino. We all have, the legend, the curses. Some foolishness about it lying in the middle of a City of Dead. A city of ghosts. Buried beneath a blood-red cloud… a bright, shining monument luring treasure hunters to their doom. An illusion that you can begin again, change your fortunes. Finding it, though, that’s not the hard part. Its letting go……

The Sierra Madre Casino

A mixture of an outdoor and an indoor map The Sierra Madre will have a dark depressing atmosphere with the fog being blood red.

I dont have a full layout on what the map would be but the main generator should spawn at the Foutain

Once the gen is repaired the foutain will show the hologram of Vera for the rest of the trial.
