The Hood

The Hood is a Settlement which is located in The East, very close to The Line. Owned and operated by The Caramel King, The Hood functions as the base of operations for the King's intelligence agency, the Regional Association for Looking-Up And Data Surveillance (or "RaLads").

Though the Settlement isn't heavily guarded as the RaLads are a neutral entity with no allegiances, it isn't a location that tends to allow visits from those outside the organisation due to the sensitive nature of much of the intelligence. In his role as The Knowledge Broker, The Caramel King keeps much of the RaLads' data secret so that it can be sold or used for bargaining with any political powers in the area.

The Hood itself does have some residents who are not affiliated with the RaLads as they were too stubborn to move away when the organisation was established, and these are commonly referred to as "Hypolites" for some unknown reason. There are reports that these residents may have some involvement with the rumoured mixtape being recorded by The Caramel King, but this mixtape still hasn't come out as of April 2021.
