Patrician's Club
This is the finest of all the Free City’s fine clubs. Guests are expected to dress well at all times, with silk or satin evening wear expected after dinner. The club opens late in the afternoon and does not close until very near the dawn.
A “members only” establishment, the club admits most anyone who is properly dressed and groomed and pays the membership fee of 20 gp per annul. Known reprobates, low-class thieves, and the like are barred from entrance or quickly removed. Drunkenness is tolerated only as long as the drunk spends lots of money and doesn’t offend anyone important.
The guests on any evening include glamorous courtesans, young knights, the elite of the city’s actors and musicians, officers and nobles, and grand dames. An occasional elf or halfling spruces up for a visit to the club, but dwarves are very rare.
Security at the club is maintained by Ralston Tour. He has elsewhere in the club six guards who assist him in the event of a major emergency. So far Ralston has never met a problem he couldn’t handle, usually with discretion. He is always in the gaming rooms during the club’s hours of operation.
The Patrician’s Club offers several large gaming rooms, offering all manner of dice and card games. The cellar has been made into a fine restaurant, the city’s best and most expensive. A smaller restaurant, as well as an ample bar room, shares the first and second floors with gambling activities. The third floor is a huge, marbled hall, available for rental (250 gp, plus catering musician costs, etc.). It has been the scene of many of the city’s grandest weddings and balls.
