== General ==

Clubs are establishments that provide functional and role-playing benefits to players. The {{IL|Join the Dilmun Club!|Appearance = Dilmun Club}}, which is a secret society, is not included in the list of clubs. 

Within Fallen London, there are four clubs that you are officially able to join. These are: 
* {{IL|The Young Stags' Club}} 
* {{IL|The Parthenaeum}} 
* {{IL|Sophia's}} 
* {{IL|The Clay Tailor Club}} 

There is included a specific slot for your Club in your wardrobe/outfit. On your FL profile page, the Club slot occupies the last spot in the second half of your equipment/outfit display. You may only join one club at a time. Clubs may only be joined by {{IL|A Person of Some Importance|Appearance = Persons of Some Importance}}

Notably, each Club provides an overall +4 [[BDR]]

== How to join ==

Joining a club consists of three parts. The first, is an opportunity card that occurs with standard frequency once you become a {{IL|A Person of Some Importance|Appearance = Person of Some Importance}}. Each club has their own associated opportunity card. These are:
* {{IL|The Young Stags' Club}} ➔ {{IL|Make Friends with a Young Stag}} ➔ {{IL|Larks with Chuffy}}
* {{IL|The Parthenaeum}} ➔ {{IL|Speaking Engagements}}
* {{IL|Sophia's}} ➔ {{IL|Among the Monster-Hunting Academics}}
* {{IL|The Clay Tailor Club}} ➔ {{IL|A Show of Taste}}


These cards all have various requirements to proceed:

It is suggested that you would resolve the opportunity card and turn it 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:

From their respective storylets, joining each club also has certain requirements. The costs between each Club varies somewhat, however what they all have in common is that joining requires two {{IL|Personal Recommendation|Appearance = Personal Recommendations}} (which is the primary use of the item). It should be noted that {{IL|Sophia's}} and {{IL|The Clay Tailor Club}} were added into the game later, so the materials needed for joining may be acquired further along in the game compared to the materials needed for the other two clubs. The various methods of entry are as required:
