The Caramel King

## Neilhyp O'Lite

Neilhyp O'Lite, known widely as "The Caramel King," is a broker of information who resides in the settlement known as The Hood in the Region of The East. He is completely neutral within the conflicts between Kingdoms and only stands to further himself and those who work for him. It is often said that The Caramel King may actually be one of the most dangerous figures in the Kingdoms around The Line as nobody knows what it is he actually hopes to accomplish...

Hypolite is thought to be one of the three former members of the secretive group Bunzo's Bandits. However, the group is now defunct.

## Farran History

The King rose to prominence in the early days of conflicts between The East and The West. He was recognised when he declared himself a King, while he refrained from declaring any borders to where he rules. This meant that he had no Kingdom and no real, threatening declaration. People soon realised that the King was a neutral party and wanted to keep his land a Settlement so as not to make Kingdoms near him such as The Lake feel threatened (see: Structure of Land). However, the King did keep his Settlement in Dead Land meaning that he wouldn't have been claiming anyone else's land had he declared his borders.

After the building of The Line, The Caramel King quickly became the go-to trader of intelligence on both sides of the wall. He officially established the Regional Association for Looking-Up And Data Surveillance (RaLads) shortly after construction was completed, and The King continues to expand his reign on information throughout both Regions. It is widely understood by anyone with half a brain that The Caramel King has eyes and ears everywhere...

It is rumoured that in addition to having a hand in everything the RaLads facilitate, The King is a founding member of the Caramel Crew. The Crew's activities are as of yet unknown, and a manifesto is apparently on the way via a "sick mixtape" once some minor copyright issues are resolved.

## World Travel

In 2021 The Caramel King released a statement through the channels of the RaLads which was distributed widely by runners on both sides of The Line. While at first it was confusing to many, the statement turned out to be a report of The King's findings from his travels to areas outside the World of Farran - which up to this point had been merely speculated about, but never confirmed to exist.

Of a land called "Franche", O'Lite stated that "the cheese is good, and the craic is ninety, but they need to do something about that big metal tower that all the tourists are crowding around." The King has been known to release his information with cryptic clues, and so it's widely believed that the "big metal tower" he's referring to doesn't actually exist - because why would someone just have a big metal pointy thing as a tourist attraction?

O'Lite also commented on a land which he called the "Land of the Nethers". Of this land he wrote, "I don't remember too much to be honest. There's a loada water and bridges, but the grass over there was the best part!" Coming from the World of Farran, The Caramel King knows the importance of good agricultural practice, and so people interpreted the comment on "grass" to be about the grass in the fields which the cows ate.

The King went on to say that after all of this travel, he'd discovered some interesting places, but in the end, "Farran is [his] city."

There is still no update on his mixtape.
