An exclusive club for the gentlemen politicians of Prime stood nestled between two innocuous government buildings, not for from the Senator's Circle and the House of Representatives. Unlike many of the elegant structures in the Imperial Forum, it was built in the gothic, Medonian style, and decorated with dark stone. This haunt of rich men had been around for centuries, and while it looked relatively modest in size from the front, encompassed several buildings to the rear.
Grand wooden doors stood firmly shut, although any observer would see that the members entered and exited as they pleased, with no apparent door man. Only a discreet golden plaque beside the door announced the name of the building

Walking up to the door and pushing gently would reveal to the visitor that there was no lock on the door. This was true at any time, for the House of Private Discussions never shut to its members. The visitor would arrive in a wood panelled antechamber, from which there were only two exits other than the one through which the visitor had come. Both doors were shut, and bizarrely plain compared to the rest of the room, which dripped with luxury. A crystal chandilier, though anyone in clara would be able to observe that the many points of light were the result of some spell. To normal sight it was a near blinding number of candles, if one cared to stare too long. The receptionists desk was large, but empty of the usual clutter. There was no ledger of members, and the receptionist himself was no where to be seen. On the desk itself there was an assortment of expensive looking oddments; a dark crystal orb, a golden paper knife, and a miniature of Alleria Prime.
A disembodied voice suddenly speaks.
"If you are not a member, speak your purpose.
If you are a member, pick the correct door and enter."
