Gathering Place
Gathering Place is the capital of the Community of Goëtia. For generations its location shifted as needed between the various family compounds. Its location is still a closely guarded secret from outsiders.
Overview
Gathering Place developed naturally among the Goetics as a result of their barter economy. As each autonomous commune was mostly self-sufficient, the annual meeting of the community grew into a large event with religious services, political meetings, markets, and social events. As Gathering Place's purpose and use grew, tents and shacks were eventually replaced by more permanent structures. Various people from each family are chosen to stay behind in Gathering Place, to tend to the small village and keep it functioning year-round and prepare it for the annual meeting of the families.
The Barn
Most of Gathering Place is a shanty town with an itinerant population. A large barn has been renovated, expanded, and customized for the Community's needs.
The Dungeon
The lower level of the barn has been converted into a demonic worship and social interaction space.
Fellowship Hall
The main level of the barn serves as the main meeting location of the Conference of Cycle Families. It is adorned with the colors of each Cycle Family.
Vendors' Market
A large shed that hosts vendors from the Community. Bartering, by offering goods or services, is the preferred method of transaction. As the community has grown larger promissory notes are becoming increasingly accepted in lieu of direct barter or to defer the trade to a later date. Reputation and word of mouth ensure debtors pay back as soon as possible.
The Palace
An online-ordered, prefabricated, mobile domicile for the Demon-Queen and her demonic cohort.
