How to join[edit]

Joining a club consists of three parts. The first, is an opportunity card that occurs with standard frequency once you become a Person of Some Importance. Each club has their own associated opportunity card. These are:


These cards all have various requirements to proceed:

It is suggested that you would resolve the opportunity cards and turn them into a storylet at the Bazaar Side-streets even if you would not like to actively join that club. This is to prevent the cards from clogging up your opportunity deck, and to grant more ease if or when you would like to change clubs.

After you resolve these opportunity cards, you will be granted a quality that allows you to join that respective club. You may then go to the Bazaar Side-streets and the corresponding storylet(s) for that club(s) will be displayed. The following qualities corresponding to each club lead to the following storylets:

Strategy[edit]

Your choice of a club will to some degree be part of your character, so it's up to you whether to choose based on roleplaying or optimization. As it stands, clubs typically have 2 important differences.

  1. BDR distribution - maybe you need a specific quality for Khaganian Intrigue (Guide), or you need it to attract a specific buyer at the Bone Market. Your club will be an important factor here.
  2. Opportunity card - Some of the cards are very good for specific purposes. The Stags has a great source of -favours, Sophia's has a very convenient source of hunting trophies and The Clay Tailor's has a good source of Thirsty Bombazine.

Either of these may be the deciding factor for you, or perhaps you'd rather keep something appropriate for your character.
