'''The Gathering''' is an annual fantasy [[fest larp]] in the [[UK]].

The Gathering is set in the Lorien Trust's "Erdreja" setting. Characters are divided into [[NPC]]-led factions and guilds, allowing the GMs to direct the politics of the game. [[Linear]] side-adventures are also run.<ref>Hook (2008), p. 74.</ref><br />
