Revision as of 17:52, 22 January 2026


The Fremont Club
Los Feliz

The Jonathan Club has served LA's legal elite well—high fees ensuring only the right sort of barrister darkens their mahogany halls, maintaining the comfortable stranglehold that has defined this city's justice for generations.


The Fremont Club offers something far more dangerous: a barrister's society where membership hinges not on bloodline or bank balance, but on one's capacity to survive intellectual combat.


This is no gentleman's club with predetermined seating and polite discourse. The Fremont operates like the great Roman forum—minds clash in spontaneous debate, lectures emerge from wine-soaked arguments, legal doctrine burns and reforms in real time.

◆ ◆ ◆
The Ground Floor: Cultural Venue

The public face of The Fremont pulses with creative energy. Mortals gather here—blissfully unaware of what transpires above—for poetry slams, art installations, gastronomy galas, and avant-garde punk performances. The space shifts its character nightly: intimate and contemplative one evening, raw and electric the next.

RP Opportunities

  • Attend cultural events as cover for other business
  • Recruit talent or identify useful contacts
  • Maintain mortal facades and Masquerade
  • Encounter unexpected allies or enemies in neutral territory
◆ ◆ ◆
The Second Floor: Barrister's Salon

Here, the true nature of The Fremont reveals itself. This is no gentleman's club with polite discourse—it operates like the Roman forum. Barristers engage in spontaneous intellectual combat where legal doctrine burns and reforms in real-time.


Membership requires more than credentials; one must possess the razor-sharp wit to survive conversations that would eviscerate lesser minds.


Wine flows freely. Arguments escalate. Impromptu lectures emerge from heated debate. Power is earned through demonstrated brilliance, not inherited partnerships.

RP Opportunities

  • Engage in legal and philosophical debates
  • Forge alliances based on mutual respect and intellectual merit
  • Challenge or be challenged by other sharp minds
  • Discover that your opponent across the table serves greater powers
◆ ◆ ◆
The Upper Chambers: Eidolon Collective

Whispered about but rarely seen, the upper chambers house the Eidolon Collective—a group whose influence shapes both institutions below. Access to these rooms marks true inner circle membership. Here, business is conducted that affects the cultural venue, the salon, and far beyond.


Most members of the salon below only suspect these chambers exist.


They are correct to be concerned.

RP Opportunities

  • Seek invitation to the inner sanctum
  • Uncover what the Collective actually does
  • Serve (or oppose) powers that shape multiple institutions
  • Discover the true purpose behind The Fremont's three-tiered structure
◆ ◆ ◆
Membership & Access
Ground Floor

Open to the public

Second Floor

By invitation or proving one's merit in legal and intellectual circles

Upper Chambers

By invitation only—from those already within



While dual membership in both The Fremont and The Jonathan Club is possible, the Jonathans view such divided loyalties with considerable displeasure.

"Where merit cuts deeper than bloodline, and the sharpest minds forge tomorrow's power."

The Namesake

John C. Fremont represents the perfect fusion of elite privilege and revolutionary principle that defines The Fremont Club's ethos. Known as "The Pathfinder," he led the Bear Flag Revolt that created the California Republic, yet operated within the highest circles of American power as a U.S. Senator and presidential candidate.


Fremont was repeatedly court-martialed for defying federal authority when he believed it was wrong, choosing constitutional principle over career advancement—embodying the club's belief that true legal excellence requires the courage to challenge established power structures.

After all, revolutions rarely announce themselves with formal invitations.
