Road Crew
Sub-sect of Kings and Queens Court
For every anthem that stirs a settlement, someone built the stage. For every instrument that carries the Saints' resonance into the wasteland, someone scavenged the parts. The Road Crew is the backbone of the Kings and Queens Court: the builders, the fixers, the organizers, the ones who make sure the music happens. They construct instruments, maintain performance venues, arrange lodging for traveling Bands, and handle the day-to-day survival logistics that allow performers to focus on their art.
Members take pride in their unassuming role. They scavenge ruins for components, repair broken gear with whatever the wasteland provides, and ensure that every live performance is completed to honor the Saints' legacy. Their labor is not separate from worship; it is worship. The faith's core tenet that creation is a collective act applies as much to the hands that build the stage as to the voice that fills it.
The Road Crew's motto is simple: "Without us, there is no sound." They mean it without arrogance. Their satisfaction comes from making others shine, though they are not above occasionally joining the Wall of Sound with a little too much enthusiasm when the frustrations of dealing with particularly demanding Bands need an outlet.

Public Agenda
Sustain the Saints' legacy by building, repairing, and maintaining the tools and venues that make music possible. The Road Crew handles the logistics, construction, protection, and day-to-day survival needs that allow Bands to carry their resonance into the wasteland.
History
The Road Crew formed within the Kings and Queens Court around the practical recognition that music cannot survive without those who build, repair, and sustain the means to create it. Members who found their calling in the labor behind the performances rather than in the spotlight itself gravitated toward one another, building a subsect dedicated to the belief that every instrument crafted and every live show completed is as much an act of devotion as any song performed.
The earliest records describe the Road Crew as an organization of Dieseljocks and engineers from the greater Vegasia region operating on contract from the Roar to create road stops from Vegasia to Missory Bay. These refueling points and munitions depots were part of a complex racing network for the yearly Guts N Bolts tournament. Ever-changing routes needed to be updated with biodiesel vats, weapon caches, and deadly traps created for the eccentric gambling purposes of the Vegasian elite.
The Road Crew made their reputation by sneaking into heavily zombie-infested areas to drop waypoint markers, ensuring that the racers of the Guts N Bolts tournament had to work hard to grab the credits, fuel, and ammo needed to complete the long haul race. The Road Crew not only created these waypoints, but also traveled from settlement to settlement, scouting out what locations would serve best for future Guts N' Bolts races.
