But one thing almost all Wasteland Warlords share is that they are not afraid to resort to brutal methods in the name of survival. Sometimes they can be benevolent, and even provide a safe refuge for the last remnants of humanity in a wilderness otherwise overrun by zombies, mutants, demons, monsters, killer robots, et cetera. Unlike an Evil Overlord, the Wasteland Warlord may not necessarily be villainous (though they often are).
In the power vacuum left by the collapse of civilization, the Wasteland Warlord often fulfills the closest thing the setting has to a functioning government, providing their followers with resources, security, stability, a sense of purpose, or even the promise of a rewarding afterlife. Much like real-life warlords in many war-torn regions, failed states, or other chaotic areas of the world, the Wasteland Warlord usually attains power by force and by commanding the unwavering support and loyalty of their followers. The Wasteland Warlord is the powerful, autocratic leader of a faction in your Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting.
