“Right, I'm from the Abbey of the Road. I'm afraid its location is secret, however.”— Marcella
The Abbey of the Road is a Christian monastery located somewhere west of the Commonwealth.[1]
Background[]
The Abbey sends out missionaries to spread their faith. One of these missionaries, Marcella, can be met in Point Lookout.[2] Such missionaries also seek to retrieve religious relics, but that is a secondary objective. Its location is a secret and Marcella will refuse to reveal the location if asked.
Appearances[]
The Abbey of the Road is mentioned only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Behind the scenes[]
According to Joel Burgess, the Abbey of the Road was mentioned as one of many implied segments of the larger Fallout universe without revealing too many details about it, similar to the Great Game.[3]

Joel Burgess: "Yeah, I mean there's like even a little stuff with Marcella because I think Point Lookout's where we invented the Abbey of the Road. Which is just like sort of this implied... even like the Great Game with Desmond and all that, we wanted to imply a grander sort of universe. But not always get into the details. So it's hard to remember how many of those things were like, sort of shoulder checks that we put in. Y'know, to like put in little 'kessel runs' - and how much of that were like, 'no, no, we were actually gonna pull on that thread a bit but it was cut.' Wish I had a better answer."
