Hokud Crime Family

The Hokud Crime Family is a crime family based in Arcstead specializing in gambling and prostitution.

History
The Hokud Crime Family grew naturally out of the Hokud Casino that was built in Arcstead when Arcstead was still a young town. When the authorities shut the casino down, the Hokuds moved underground and began building secret gambling lairs under the city.

Activities
The Hokud family owns a large network of underground gambling lairs, built and repaired by associated construction workers. The lairs are typically under a hotel or inn, and also hold large numbers of prostitutes who pay a fifth of their income to the Hokuds for the privilege of working in their gambling dens.

Large volumes of Embermail liquor and Ualas tobacco and opium are consumed inside Hokud dens, as the Embermail and Ualas families grew up under the protection of the Hokud family. The Hokuds receive discounted rates on the drugs, as they are the biggest single customer of the other two families.
