What Is The Gathering? - Explained - Rules, Lore & Hidden Secrets | Highlander

Few ideas are as ominous and important as the Gathering in the overall lore of Highlander. All Immortals inevitably prepare for this event that hangs over their lives, like a reckoning from which there is no escape. It is the promised moment that signifies the end of their endless battles. Throughout the course of their lives, everything they engage in, every alliance they forge and every time they draw their swords, they all point towards the Gathering. For something as central to the mythos, it is indeed weird how the idea is wrapped in a whole lot of vagueness. Even most Immortals do not know exactly what it entails, just that it is happening someday for sure. Is it a literal summoning of the remaining Immortals or some kind of tournament? And for a universe already overloaded with mystery, why does something so vague even matter to this extent? If you have these questions in mind, then allow me to break down the Gathering, its meaning and rules, and what place it takes up in the Highlander franchise. #highlander
