Discovered in the late 19th century Lamplight Caverns was converted into a tourist attraction where people could come and learn about the caverns, how they were made and what creatures called the caverns home. On the 23rd of October 2077 82 students from The Early Dawn Elementary School were taken on a field trip to explore Lamplight Caverns. And for many hours the children, watched over by several teachers and parent chaperones, wandered the caverns unaware that it was about to become their new home.

Love this guy brings back such good memories
Fantastic video! The guy going crazy from hearing the children was interesting, I didn't remember that bit.
Yuo*
A bit late, but… LETSGOOOOO!! New Synonymous video is always a treat โค๏ธ This man is my go-to whenever i need some lore in my life!
Yeah, the whole population thing always bothered me too, picturing kids, all less than 16, delivering babies. The age of the parents doesn't "bother" me from the logic of people doing what they need to to survive, but the idea of children delivering did bother me. I guess the farm/incubator theory makes the most sense since I'm sure former Little Lamplighters wouldn't bother returning to doom their own children to the same fate once they've learned the truth.
The super mutant theory is good but needs some revision. It's not so much the mutants are deliberately farming the little lamplighters as they're in sort of a symbiotic relationship. The nearby mutants keep most other threats away from the area, which allows little lamplight to exist and grow. This produces an excess of "mungos" that head out into the wasteland, usually alone and lightly armed. Assuming they head to Big Town and aren't chewed up by the various hostile forces of the wasteland then they're likely to get either enslaved by the mutants or in my case, literally eaten by various creatures of the wasteland, including mirelurks and yao guai. So it isn't so much the mutants are deliberately farming the Big Towners as much as it is they exist in a vicious symbiotic relationship neither of them are aware of.
Dear synonymous buns please do a video about ED-E good sir
I'm not sure Big town was always so bad. I got the impression that it's fall is more recent and formerly big town was the whole town but the constant raids by slavers and mutants led to the smaller town surrounded by barriers. The reason there's only one person on gaurd is that there's 6 people left and they have given up
10/10
They threw knd into a gritty post apocalyptic rpg…
I really want to know if the brotherhood wiped out Vault 87 and if they made contact with both little lamplight and big town
Fallout
I'm glad that you were able to paint a happy picture in the end
I wish they treated Fallout lore like Elder Scrolls sometimes the little details matter wasted potential for such a cool idea
That moment you shoot what you think is their pet rat only to have them immediately eat it .
Another masterpiece of a video Synonymous great work ๐๐
Been waiting for this one
Little Lamplight reminds me of Lord of the Flies.
So if they are still going 200 years later but everyone gets kicked out by the age of 16, how are they replenishing the kids?
A new lore video, today is going to be a good day.
So many weird things happening. The teachers in the beginning would rather go out into radiation then to go deeper into the caves. A vault dweller hearing noises and not showing them to another person.
lol not all wastelanders are destined for Big Town
A video on freeside or the kings would be great! Keep up the great work ๐
I'd love to see a video on the lore of the Big M.T. and zion canyon
I imagine Lamplight maintains its numbers in several ways, ones born to mothers before they turn 16(eww) children sent back from Big Town, and wandering Orphans. Not just one explanation. I don't think the Vault 87 Supermutants are smart enough to directly use Big Town and Lamplight in a farming scheme, not as a plan per say. They just know children make puny mutants so they wait for them to grow up before capturing them.
Oh my god, I hated these little assholes.
One of the best locations in fallout history
Yay! Little Lamplight. One of my favorite cities.
Bro, in my first playthrough, i stayed inside the cavern for about 18 saves, hopped to find a way to get the kids to megaton, or stayed to protect them. Until my dad asked why i stayed in that cave for so long๐
I hate little lamplight. Even by Bethesda's standards it's beyond lame. Thank you for your work though
Wasn't there another girl from there, who became a prostitute on the aircraft carrier?
MacCreedy was bang on the money honestly. I mean, without being disrespectful of course, there IS a reason why the vast majority of world leaders and top tier politicians are MEN not women. Sorry to say but it's the truth.
Fo3 gets a lot of flack for its writing, but lets be honest, it really shone in the department of settlements. I know Megaton doesn't necessarily make sense, but it's definitely a cool concept* and places like Underworld, Rivet City and Lamplight are some of the coolest and most imaginative places in the series.
Little lamplight revolution
I would like to think that all of the theories are correct in some way. I mean if you think about it with the first two it makes since. The second one for instance could be told when those from big town end up as slaves or any other reason.
Isn't Trinnie in Rivet city from lamplight too? I thought she was as well.
If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the buy me, drink me Garden T chick at the bar in Rivet City. From Little Lamp Light also?
Boys girls dogs mungos, theres nobody I wont fight! – Annoying kid
@Synonymous your videos are becoming better and better and more in depth and rich with lore I really enjoy your videos. Please keep on making them itโs content creators like you. They keep this beautiful community of fallout alive and vivid. Thank you so much synonymous
I always love watching your videos ๐
Least interesting lore, most kill worthy group
My personal hope would be that Big Town and Little Lamplight merged, and furthermore conquered/expanded into the Supermutants and Vault 87 territories. They deserve it for their hard work.
