Beyonder Gathering

A Beyonder Gathering (Star Phantom Tarot - Star Phantom 2)

“	Attending mysticism gatherings, gathering materials and information, and earning money and supplies are compulsory tasks for every wild Beyonder.	„
— Franca Roland to Jenna on Circle of Inevitability, Chapter 278

Beyonder Gatherings, also known as Mysticism Gatherings, Beyonder Circles or Circle of Beyonders, are scheduled black market meetings to gather and organize trading of formulas, ingredients, information, and missions between Beyonders.

These gatherings were originally organized in response to the strictness of official Beyonder organizations. To initially attend a Beyonder gathering, the potential attendee needs to be either invited by a former attendee or the convener.

The sea is even vaster than the land. Pirates might not even meet each other in half a year. Even on the islands that they dispose of their loot, Beyonder ingredients are seldom gathered. Only big cities like Backlund, Trier, St. Millom, and Feynapotter City can have many ingredients gathered together.
