| With [[Daniel (Honest Hearts)|Daniel]] dead, the White Legs soon overran [[Zion Canyon|Zion]] and drove the [[Sorrows]] and [[Dead Horses]] from the Valley. The White Legs plundered all of the pre-War buildings the Sorrows had marked off-limits, their squalor an affront to Zion's natural beauty. By year's end, little trace remained that the Sorrows had ever made the valley their home. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending WhiteLegs 1.ogg}}

| After the White Legs drove the Sorrows from Zion, they celebrated by destroying all traces of the valley's former inhabitants. They appealed to the [[Caesar's Legion|Legion]] for assimilation, but were denied. Their failure to eradicate the New Canaanites in [[Grand Staircase]] and farther up the [[Colorado River|Colorado]] had not gone unnoticed. The White Legs made a half-hearted effort to find the New Canaanites, but were driven off by Dead Horses trained in the ways of [[Joshua Graham]]. The White Legs lost all hope of joining the Legion and disintegrated into a number of petty raiding bands, leaving Zion Valley a polluted cistern. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending WhiteLegs 2.ogg}}

| Demoralized by the Dead Horse and Sorrows attack the Courier and Joshua Graham led against them, the White Legs retreated to Great Salt Lake. Their days were numbered. Word soon reached the [[80s]] tribe that the White Legs' spirit was broken, their [[Salt-Upon-Wounds|war chief]] a dim shadow of his former self. By year's end, the 80s would overrun the White Legs' camps, scattering the tribe to the winds and claiming the [[Great Salt Lake]] for its own. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending WhiteLegs 3.ogg}}

| Joshua Graham's chilling execution of [[Salt-Upon-Wounds]] seared into their minds, the surviving White Legs retreated to the Great Salt Lake. Unable to shake the memory of their brutal defeat and the Dead Horses' savagery in battle, the White Legs feared further reprisals. They fled north, out of [[State#Utah|Utah]], into [[State#Wyoming|Wyoming]]. The wilderness was harsh, and the first winter claimed over half the tribe. When spring came, the survivors parted ways in small bands. And so the White Legs died a quiet, ignominious death. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending WhiteLegs 4.ogg}}

| Despite their defeat at [[Three Marys]], and the death of their war chief, the White Legs were determined to pursue the other New Canaanites. But when they finally tracked down their prey in Colorado, they discovered the tables had been turned. The White Legs who survived the New Canaanites' ambushes were hunted down by Dead Horses before they could reach the safety of the Great Salt Lake. When word of the White Legs' diminished numbers reached the 80s tribe, war was declared, and by year's end, the White Legs had been wiped out. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending WhiteLegs 5.ogg}}

| Daniel succeeded in leading the Sorrows out of Zion, as he had wanted to do from the start. The Courier protected the Sorrows during the evacuation, ensuring that most reached their destination unharmed. Over the weeks and months to come, Daniel would see to the Sorrows' resettlement in Grand Staircase. Their adjustment to their new home was not without difficulty, but eventually the Sorrows came to accept the loss of Zion. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Sorrows 1.ogg}}

|-

| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_sorrows.jpg|200px|center]]
| Daniel evacuated the Sorrows from Zion, but due to the Courier's neglect, the White Legs butchered many along the way. Those who survived barely reached Grand Staircase, but once there, the Dead Horses and New Canaanites helped them settle. The unfamiliarity of their new surroundings, and the loss of loved ones, evoked a terrible and lasting grief among the Sorrows. For two generations, many would die still lamenting the loss of Zion. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Sorrows 2.ogg}}

| The Sorrows fought beside Joshua Graham and the Dead Horses, eradicating the threat the White Legs posed to Zion. Seeing the Courier convince Joshua Graham to spare Salt-Upon-Wounds, the Sorrows learned that retribution could be tempered by mercy. Though he despaired at the Sorrows' loss of innocence, Daniel took some small consolation in the Courier's lesson, and prayed it would take root. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Sorrows 3.ogg}}

| The Sorrows fought beside Joshua Graham and the Dead Horses, eradicating the threat the White Legs posed to Zion. Watching as the Courier encouraged Joshua Graham to execute Salt-Upon-Wounds, the Sorrows learned that New Canaan offered no mercy to the wicked. The Sorrows' transformation from a peaceful, timid tribe into a merciless, warlike people broke Daniel's heart. Over time, the Sorrows became ever more ruthless in their dealings - even with each other. Daniel traveled to and from between the New Canaanites and Zion, continuing to plead for a return to the old ways whenever he visited. Eventually, the Sorrows grew tired of his blather, and turned their backs on him. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Sorrows 4.ogg}}

| The Sorrows fought beside Joshua Graham and the Dead Horses, eradicating the threat the White Legs posed to Zion. When the Courier and Joshua Graham felled Salt-Upon-Wounds, their victory was celebrated with a great feast. The Sorrows' transformation from a peaceful, timid tribe into a proud and warlike people broke Daniel's heart. He tried to take solace in the knowledge that they would remain in Zion, but it was a small comfort. The Sorrows' innocence was lost. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Sorrows 5.ogg}}

| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_deadhorses.jpg|200px|center]]
| Having revered Joshua Graham as a living legend for so many years, the Dead Horses found it difficult to accept his death. New Canaanite missionaries sought to remain in contact with the tribe, but lacking Joshua's authority, their influence dwindled. Still, as an expression of enduring respect for their lost spiritual leader, the Dead Horses helped protect the lands where New Canaanites settled. As generations passed, the Dead Horses came to worship a spirit of the land, a harsh spirit of divine justice. They called it Joshua. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending DeadHorses 1.ogg}}
| Kill Joshua Graham.

|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 2
| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_deadhorses.jpg|200px|center]]
| Having helped Daniel and the Sorrows escape from Zion, the Dead Horses returned to their home at [[Dead Horse Point]]. The tribe continued to learn from the New Canaanites, and over many years built a flourishing community along the banks of the Colorado. Though the tribes' bond would endure, it was Joshua Graham's legend the Dead Horses would revere, not the tenets of New Canaan's faith. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending DeadHorses 2.ogg}}

| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_deadhorses.jpg|200px|center]]
| Having helped eradicate the White Legs from Zion, the Dead Horses returned to Dead Horse Point in triumph. They remained neutral toward the Sorrows, but as years went on, there were periods of competitive friction, even violence, between the tribes. The New Canaanites - Daniel especially - intervened regularly as mediators, but found it difficult to reconcile the tribes' conflicts. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending DeadHorses 3.ogg}}

| Already weakened by several seasons of bad trading, the [[Happy Trails Caravan Company]] was devastated by the failure of its expedition. The New Canaanites never reestablished ties with the caravan. Their experiences with outsiders near the Great Salt Lake and in Zion had been far too negative. Within six months, the Happy Trails Caravan Company was bankrupted and dissolved. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending HappyTrails 1.ogg}}
| Complete [[Chaos in Zion]] or kill Daniel.

|-

| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_happytrails.jpg|200px|center]]
| Already weakened by several seasons of bad trading, the Happy Trails Caravan Company was initially discouraged by the results of its expedition. The fate of [[New Canaan]], and the evacuation of the Sorrows from Zion, made the prospect of trading seem fruitless. When Daniel told his family about the exploits of Happy Trails' employee, the Courier, however, New Canaan decided to repay the company's kindness. Twice per year, New Canaanites made the dangerous journey west to trade with the company in the city of [[New Reno]]. The Happy Trails Caravan Company could not survive on such trading alone, but the New Canaanite's generosity made tough times go easier. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending HappyTrails 2.ogg}}
| Help the Sorrows evacuate.

|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 3
| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_happytrails.jpg|200px|center]]
| The defeat of the White Legs in Zion marked a turning point in the fortunes of the Happy Trails Caravan Company. Every two months, the caravan met with the New Canaanites in Zion Valley to trade. Happy Trails soon returned to prosperity. The vigilance of the Sorrows and Dead Horses in defending southwestern Utah, initially startling to Happy Trails caravans, soon proved a blessing. The tribes united against the 80s, driving them back from Highway 50, and thus opening yet another trading route for Happy Trails caravans. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending HappyTrails 3.ogg}}

| Follows-Chalk took the Courier's words to heart and decided that the big cities of the [[Mojave Wasteland]] and [[New California Republic|NCR]] were best left unexplored. Though he sometimes dreamed of distant lands, he continued to support his family at Dead Horse Point, and eventually his wanderlust faded.{{Inline quote|sound=HHending Follows-Chalk 1.ogg}}

After returning to Dead Horse Point, he quarreled with his family and other tribe members about his ambitions. One morning, they awoke to discover that Follows-Chalk had set off alone, westward, into the wilderness. He was never seen again.{{Inline quote|sound=HHending Follows-Chalk 2.ogg}}

She poisoned some of her tribe against New Canaanite teachings, making relations between the groups difficult from time to time.{{Inline quote|sound=HHending Waking Cloud 1.ogg}}

| Waking Cloud was distraught when she learned of her husband's death, but took comfort from her tribe, and the compassion of the New Canaanites. She forgave Daniel for having concealed her husband's fate from her, and learned to accept his fate. When her grief faded, she took a husband from the Dead Horse tribe. At her bidding, he stayed close to home.{{Inline quote|sound=HHending Waking Cloud 2.ogg}}

| After a long and troubled life, Joshua Graham finally found rest in Zion. In the end, his unswerving militancy had accomplished what the [[New California Republic|NCR]]'s finest sharpshooters and [[Caesar's Legion|Caesar]]'s wrath could not. The New Canaanites took comfort in the belief that their brother's soul would again dwell in Zion at the end of days. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending JoshuaGraham 1.ogg}}

| [[File:nvdlc02_endingslide_joshua.jpg|200px|center]]
| The threat of the White Legs ended, Joshua Graham helped the Sorrows and Dead Horses tend to their fallen comrades and secure Zion. The Courier's words had stayed Joshua's wrath in his darkest hour, and in sparing Salt-Upon-Wounds, he was changed. While he continued to advocate militant opposition to the enemies of New Canaan, he sometimes showed quarter to those who crossed his family. Eventually this new spirit would diminish the myth of the [[Joshua Graham#Burned Man|Burned Man]] in distant lands - a small price for the peace it brought to Joshua Graham. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending JoshuaGraham 2.ogg}}

| With the White Legs crushed, Joshua Graham led the Sorrows and Dead Horses in tearing apart and burning the corpses of their enemies. He set about training his army in the "Way of the Canaanite," and soon the New Canaanites and tribes of Zion were feared well into the Mojave. Legends of the Burned Man grew even more depraved, and terrifying. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending JoshuaGraham 3.ogg}}

| Though the Courier had stopped Joshua Graham from executing Salt-Upon-Wounds, the war chief still fell in battle. The White Legs defeated at Three Marys, Joshua led the Sorrows and Dead Horses in tending to their comrades and burning the corpses of their foes. He continued to advocate militant opposition to the enemies of New Canaan and showed little quarter to those he fought. And yet he was changed. He no longer reveled in the brutality and cruelty for which he had been known in his former life. His inner demons, if not extinguished, were at the least... appeased. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending JoshuaGraham 4.ogg}}

He spent his life evangelizing the beliefs of his people to a new generation of young men and women, as his ancestors had for centuries before him. He was happy with his family, but for the rest of his life there were nights when he awoke with sadness to find he had been dreaming of Zion. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Daniel 2.ogg}}

Try as he might, he could not hold back the tribe's increasing militancy and reverence of Joshua Graham. Demoralized, he returned to his family at Dead Horse Point. His failures haunted him for the rest of his days. {{Inline quote|sound=HHending Daniel 3.ogg}}
