Spies, saboteurs, nerds with paper shredders. The Athenaeum were founded to do one thing, find the most dangerous secrets in the wastes and destroy them before they can be spread. This group encourages their members to be active participants in other groups as to help with their collection of information. They are often quick to ally with others when the wasteland is endangered, but only until their goals are accomplished.

Most individuals of high position say that this faction has a better image than their activities would warrant.

As a faction of clandestine operators, the Athenaeum have no uniform. Individual cells occasionally develop personal brands or logos and these have occasionally been attributed to the group as a whole, but currently the Athenaeum takes effort in making sure there is no single way by which they are identified.

If the Athenaeum are here, and they’re most places in the Sequoyah Wastes, then they are here for a reason. Maybe they’re recruiting. Maybe they’ve got something to destroy.
