History? Cures a wound, leaves the bitterness that caused it. The Twin Mothers were always about lessons. Caesar taught them the last one, though, so that's it for them.Ulysses

The Twin Mothers were a tribe that lived east of New California and were known for their creation of bitter drink. They were destroyed by Caesar's Legion.[1]

Background[]

The Twin Mothers tribe was mentioned by Ulysses as a former tribe that lived in the east. They were known for creating a powerful morphine-like medicine called bitter drink. The medicine was regularly used by Legion soldiers during forced marches of wounded soldiers, which helped greatly during their travels through the Crimson River Trail. According to Ulysses, the Twin Mothers were always about teaching lessons, and Caesar taught them their last, implicating that they were destroyed and absorbed.[1]

Appearances[]

The Twin Mothers tribe is mentioned only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road. They were to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.

Behind the scenes[]

The Twin Mothers are a reference to the tribe that was supposed to appear in Black Isle Studios' original Fallout 3, project Van Buren.

  1. 1.0 1.1 The Courier: "Any recipes you can teach?"
    Ulysses: "Depends what history has to say about them. There's a lot the land can provide... if you know the road that led to it. Mojave's got ways of healing most ills - if not, some tribe's usually found a way you didn't expect. Like Healing Powders. Tribes back West only use Xander and Broc flower. There's a way the Twin Mothers in the East used to brew it, though. Called it Bitter Drink, mixed up the Xander and Broc in a bottle, added some kick to it so your head doesn't get all clouded."
    The Courier: "What's the history of it?"
    Ulysses: "History? Cures a wound, leaves the bitterness that caused it. The Twin Mothers were always about lessons. Caesar taught them the last one, though, so that's it for them. Recipe still exists, Legion uses it on forced marches with wounded soldiers. Wouldn't have made it through Crimson River Trail a few years back without it - losing so much blood early on, was a Cazador feast. Enough Xander root and Broc flower along the trail though, the Legion was able to keep pace and get where they were going."
