UNDERLAND THE OUTPOSTS Ever since the Red Queen was exiled, the Mad Hatter began to question leaving her alone was a good idea. So he asked the White Queen's permission to keep watch over the decapitator. Unable to persuade him otherwise, Mirana agreed and allowed him a small party and supplies to stake out the place until he was satisfied. At first, he found her frustration hilariously ironic, but soon saw something sinister working beneath her composure. He witnessed her first beheading as the criminals' leader. Instead of leaving it alone, the Hatter began to gather his friends and fellow fighters from the war. When they observed the Red Queen, they agreed that she would easily gain power again if not checked. So they created a small, independent group called the Hatters, a name that the Mad Hatter didn't personally enjoy, but his friends insisted. But as payback, he named his ranks after them. Dormouse was the title of new recruits, Rabbit was a rank higher, Hare was next, and Cheshire was the highest honor. The importance of rank was decided by who won a game of rock-paper-scissors, and the Cheshire Cat won... naturally. The Hatters grew over the years, recruiting those who believed in their cause. But ever since the Darkness fell, the Hatters decided to be a beacon of hope to those who needed it. They now have outposts around Wonderland that hold a decent number of Hatters, ready to protect travelers from the dangers of their designated areas while the original Hatter continues to watch the Red Queen. T H E . F O R E S T . O F . F E A L T Y The Hatters decided to stay in the Mad Hatter's old house. In the backyard, one can still see the tea table that he, the March Hare, and the Dormouse used to drink at. The table has not been clean as a tribute to their original because there was always time for tea. Other than for sentimental value, the house is made out of stone and has underground floors that prevent other creatures from catching them off guard. They expanded downwards to fit a small armory, a larger kitchen, and barracks so that any travelers were able to arm themselves and rest until they were ready to leave. T H E . W H I T E . C I T A D E L The Hatters have a safe place within the walls of the White Citadel. It was built to mirror the castle entrance, as to show that they both had an eye on each other. Regardless of how some people may perceive that, the safe house has a secret pathway to the throne room. It was built by the Mad Hatter, just in case the Queen needed to run for whatever reason. It is there that they are able to ship out supplies to their other outposts, while also being able to lend a hand to their fellow civilians... with the proper permits and licenses, of course. Just look for the white house with the strange, purple hat for a roof. T H E . D E S E R T . O F . D E S T I T U T I O N This is the headquarters of the Hatters. Since it's also where the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse are constantly stationed, it is moved around the desert a lot. Mainly to avoid detection by the Red Queen. It is here that most of the intel gathered on the Red Queen's strange behavior is kept. The Mad Hatter is suspecting that she is building an army in secret, but has no proof and is looking for some way to get it. He's slowly going more insane the longer he stays in the desert. But he's too stubborn to leave. Only people with Hare rank or higher can know the location of this base. T H E . H I L L S . O F . H A S T E Swamps were the best place for these outposts. The monsters were thicker there and it was also easier to leave a path for travelers to follow if they needed help. Only a few people agreed to this spot, though, so it's the smallest outpost in Wonderland. But these fighters are seasoned veterans and are no stranger to killing monsters. If a traveler wishes help from them, all they need to do is follow the lanterns with the hat symbols to the cabin in the swamp. There, beds and food will await them. T H E . M O U N T A I N S . O F . T H E . M I G H T Y With permission from the Black King himself, the Hatters took up residence in an old outpost for Spade soldiers. It's the roomiest, most opulent outpost. It is hidden in a ravine near a waterfall, with a hidden passage through the waterfall to higher ground. With the ability to hunt, fish, purify water, and trade with the Spades for other things, it does very well for itself. The Hatters there are spoiled, though, and tend to believe that they are better than the others. They're the butt end of a lot of Hatter jokes.
