Unified Tribe Theory

[u/Henry_lentejas]

Throughout the map of Red Dead Redemption there are a multitude of tribes, societies, sects, cults and gangs that could all be linked to each other by their origins.

“The Night Folk”, a criminal gang coming from inside the Lagras swamp, which is associated with voodoo by the 4 symbols painted on the trees, is also associated with the pagan ritual to the west of the map, as the symbol on the ground in the ritual is one of the symbols of the swamp.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg, in the pagan ritual we find the severed head of a goat, which is connected to the village of Butcher Creek, all the inhabitants suffer from deformities and mange, the official explanation is that it is because they drink contaminated water from the Elysian Pool mine, but what if there was another parallel theory that also fits?

In a house on the outskirts of town a glowing satanic pentagram appears under the ruins of the floor at night, perhaps intended to curse someone through the bed, but what if this curse had spread to all the inhabitants?

The town of Butcher Creek reinforces this theory as there is a large population of goats, an animal associated with Satanism, which even behave in strange ways.

But the subject goes even further, the pagan ritual is located west of Lake Owanjila, an area with many mysteries and secrets, another of these secrets is an Indian site, in which there is a human skull nailed to a stick, along with some rocks and tents made of skin.

There are mainly two Indian streams on the map: The “Wapiti tribe”, an Indian reservation to the north, and the “Skinner brothers”, a criminal gang similar to the “Night Folk”, the latter are known for sacrificing people in brutal ways, mutilating and even placing animal skulls on the corpses, just like in the pagan ritual, which is located just a little north of the Skinner area, in Tall Trees.

And finally mention the witch of Red Dead Redemption, who in the region of Ambarino has a small shelter made of logs, with human skulls, animals, potions, candles and a bubbling cauldron.

What this theory tells is that all these gangs and entities could have been united in one in the past, but due to the different perception of each one they ended up separating and settling in different places all over the map, and this may have happened many years ago, taking into account how well settled these cults are and the ruins of some related buildings.
