The Captain recovers Joseph's Word which allows them entrance into the New Eden compound and delivers the book to Ethan. The Security Captain is tasked by Kim Rye to ask for help from New Eden to take down the Highwaymen, although she makes it clear she's only doing it because she sees no better option. Joseph left New Eden in self-imposed exile to await this "shepherd" who would seek him out, leaving his prideful son, Ethan Seed, the de facto leader of New Eden. One day Joseph Seed dreamt of a "shepherd" that would realize the paradise he prophesied. Eventually, the New Edeners thrived and built their own community where they reject everything from the old world and strive to live off the land in peace. This empowerment allowed Joseph's followers to survive the post-apocalyptic winters, famine, and pestilence. Joseph Seed empowers his "chosen" with miraculous apples from his mystical tree which grants them superhuman strength and durability. They also abhor technology and intentionally destroy it every chance they get as they see technology as the cause of the Collapse. They live a primeval lifestyle, wearing animal skins and utilizing primitive tools and weapons such as bows and arrows. They are at war with the Highwaymen, whom they consider "locusts in their garden", and wage a guerilla war against them. New Eden is an established religious group born from the survivors of Project at Eden's Gate and live in the north of post-apocalyptic Hope County. All the survivors left the bunker to follow Joseph to the North, to settle this New Eden. Years after the event, Joseph Seed appeared at the bunker to rally his following survivors, telling them of a new world built by God for them to live in. Starvation, disease, and a constant threat of flooding threatened the survivors. Due to the damage the bunker had sustained in the fighting between the Cult and the Resistance, it was a difficult place to live. According to notes, after the Collapse, the surviving Cultists took refuge in the remains of John Seed's bunker.
