The Empire Club/Session 10

*Recruiting more generic NPCs to join the club 
**Baron Dawes gets 4-5 rugged Robber Baron-esque Livethans in the raw materials sector
***The board decides a meet and greet with these potential members will be necessary, including a video chat with those who do not routinely come to Aeldrum.
***Amani is fascinated by this technology and highly concerned by the insight that someone can use a piece of technology without understanding the fundamental science of the technology – she remarks how destabilizing this must be to social structures
***Jeremy serves as camera dolly during the call. Three are wearing well tailored suits, two are not. 
****Cassie falls in love with the guy wearing a very small suit and really wants him to join the Club. Magda may actually have fallen in love with him, or at least is very aroused by the ill-fitting nature of the suit. He is a railroad man - Magda wants him to rail her.
****Most of the rest of the board really want the three with tailored suits to join as they clearly have connections and means
****They are on their best behavior for us, it is also very clear that they are multi-millionaires. The ones with suits that are well-fitting are probably "old" money, or at least old enough to have land and the money to buy titles (one Count, two Barons).
****The Harbormaster (one of the Barons) wants to join the club to facilitate trade with other powers using Aeldrum as the hub. If Aeldrum is a seat of power, then the Empire Club is where the powerful meet and I want to be part of that power
****The Count wants to come back to the well of Aeldrum to see what beautiful things that we have created and can take back to Liveth.
****Cassie asks about their ties. The railroad man has a pre-stressed tie, it is beautiful. The lumber man did not tie his tie properly, but it is a tie. The non-Baron harbormaster has his tie and it is in the current season. The Count has a very nice, very fashionable tie that is in the old Aeldrum style (it is a structural tie). The harbormaster is wearing a tie his son bought him, it is not silk.
***The board ultimately determine that these men are very rich, and the railroader very stylistically relevant, and all of them are accepted (Dawes: "of course they bloody are/you are welcome")
*J. Perrin Farandole recruits four historical society members. They are not attractive, relative to either the Membership of the Historical Society or the broader Aeldrum society.
*Magda gets 8 artists and 5 clients into the club
*Gauthier recruits three Cultural Coalition MPs
