Eden's Gate

The Project at Eden’s Gate, also known as PEG or the “Peggies” are a doomsday cult that serve as the primary antagonists of Far Cry 5. The Project was founded by Joseph Seed, also known as “The Father” in Hope County, Montana, with his brothers John and Jacob, as well as his adopted sister Faith. Within a few years of their founding, the cult amassed large numbers of illegal weapons, including machine guns, rocket launchers, and even armed aircraft. At the same time, John Seed used his experience as a lawyer to buy out much of the county. After a US Marshall and four Hope County Sheriff’s Deputies attempted to arrest Joseph Seed for charges associated with kidnappings the cult was accused of, Seed saw this as the fulfillment of a prophecy of “The Collapse”, the downfall of civilization, which the cultists believe they were chosen by God to survive. After the incident, the cultists began “The Reaping”, in which they violently took over Hope County, cutting off contact with the outside world and seized anything in the county they saw as of value, while killing or forcibly converting anyone who stood in their way. The citizen’s of Hope County would fight back alongside the rookie deputy who escaped after being attacked by cultists in the failed raid on the PEG compound.
