Claimed to be dissolving their charter and turning Slater County over to the Lost Kings but we haven’t seen them fully exit the area yet.

LOST KINGS MC TERMINOLOGY
LOKI: Short for LOst KIngs
War room: Where the Lost Kings hold “church.”
Property patch: When a member takes a woman as his old lady (wife status), he gives her a vest with a property patch. In my series, the vest has a “Property of Lost Kings MC” patch and the member’s road name on the back. The officers also place their patches on the ol’ lady’s vest as a sign that they always have her back. Her man’s patch or club symbol is placed over the heart. Rock’s patch is a crown. Wrath’s is a star. Murphy’s is a four-leaf clover. Teller’s is a dollar sign. Z’s is the letter Z. Rooster’s is a rooster wearing a crown. As a joke, Wrath gave Rock and Hope a “product of” patch for baby Grace. Maybe it will catch on as more kids are born into the club? We’ll see.
PLACES IN THE LOST KINGS MC WORLD
I use a mix of real and imaginary names to describe the places in my series. Again, I bend and shape geography to my needs as this is a fictional world that I have created.
Empire, NY: The territory run by the Lost Kings MC upstate charter. This is a fictional version of Albany, NY, the capital of New York State. Many of the Lost Kings MC’s businesses are located in and around Empire.
Slater, NY: Loosely based on Schenectady County. Until recently it was the Wolf Knights MC’s territory. The Lost Kings MC will be taking control of Slater.
Ironworks, NY: Loosely based on Rensselaer County (Troy, NY). In the beginning of the series, it was run by the Vipers MC. It is now considered territory of the Lost Kings MC.
Union, NY: A fictional area two hours south of Empire, NY, where the “downstate” charter is located.
Crystal Ball: The strip club owned by the Lost Kings MC and one of their legitimate businesses. They often refer to it simply as “CB.” Located in Empire County.
Furious Fitness: The gym Wrath owns. Often just referred to as “Furious.” Located not far from Crystal Ball.
Strike Back: Owned by Sullivan Wallace but members of the Lost Kings MC have worked there in the past.
Johnson County/Johnsonville: Fictional area where Heidi grew up. About an hour west of “Empire.” Where Strike Back Gym, The Castle, and Zips are located. Possibly the new home of a Lost Kings MC support club? We’ll see!
Zips: Racetrack owned by Eraser where all the illegal gambling/racing in the area happens.
The Castle: Formerly a juvenile detention center. The building is now used to house the underground fighting ring run by Remy and Griff. Murphy used to fight here. Other LOKI members also blow off steam in the cage here from time to time. Located in the middle of nowhere, NY, it once-upon-a-time housed Griff, Vapor, and possibly Teller during their “troubled youth” days.
Kodack, NY: Another fictional NY area located in Western New York. Somewhere near Buffalo, perhaps. This territory is run by the Devil Demons MC.
Empire Medical Center: Local hospital where all the Kings receive medical treatment. Heidi also works there now.
OTHER MC TERMINOLOGY
Most terminology was obtained through research. However, I have also used some artistic license in applying these terms to my romanticized, fictional version of an outlaw motorcycle club. This is not an exhaustive list.
Cage: A car, truck, van—basically anything other than a motorcycle.
Church: Club meetings all full-patch members must attend. Led by the president of the club, but officers will update the members on the areas they oversee. (Some clubs refer to the meeting room where they hold church as the “chapel.” My club refers to it as their “war room.”
