The Underground Baker’s Association

video File:PlaceholderThe Underground Baker’s Association (TUBA) is a guild dedicated to providing Hemalurgic-free baking. At its creation, it was considered a major rival of the guild Dark Alley.

It was led and created by Storm (Stormblessed Dolphin). It is now led by Deteca (AonEne).

## History

Originally, the guild was created in secret, known as The Anti-DA Movement (later rechristened TUBA), and a front known as the Light Alley was created to hide their activities. The LA attempted to combat the movements of the significantly larger and more powerful DA. Stormblessed Dolphin PMed Tesh and they formed a secret group. They recruited Podman36, Firerust, and Archer, and later Mistspren, AonEne, Mraize, Leyrann, and I am Witless. They made plans to deceive the DA and formed the Ghostbloods as a distraction of sorts.

However, at around April 13, 2018, user Grey Knight (then named The Potato) revealed that Light Alley was simply a front for the significantly larger organization known as TUBA.[1] On April 14, user Stormblessed Dolphin made a post detailing the extent and aims of the recently revealed organization, as well as denouncing Grey Knight as a traitor. In this post, Storm stated that the Light Alley was a “phony organization, with a name meant for mockery,” which “they allowed the DA to infiltrate”. They also stated that there were a number of TUBA moles in the DA ranks, and that Grey Knight’s betrayal had exposed their existence. At its inception, the main goal of the guild was to provide Hemalurgy-free baking, and to eventually overthrow the DA.[2]

However, soon afterwards Storm stated that the group was transitioning towards a more neutral stance. Mraize chose the Ghostbloods over TUBA and left. They began recruiting openly, starting with BitBitio. However, his recruitment was secret, so that TUBA could once again spy on the DA. They recruited The Thinking Herald, Inklingspren, Aurora the Rioter, and Rebecca. Eventually, Leyrann made "The Puppeteers of the Dark Alley" post, revealing BitBitio as a spy. The group continued to recruit and participate in the RP.
