The Gathering is a meeting of all the Keepers, and the leaders who are Alby and Newt, usually in dire situations when something extremely serious needs to be sorted out or when there is a punishment needed to be sorted out due to someone's actions.
The 10 Keepers and the two leaders call themselves the "council" so there are 13 seats in the council room, 10 for the Keepers, 2 for the leaders, and 1 for the shank that is in trouble. The Keepers and leaders sit in a semicircle around the one chair.
Every Keeper has heard about the subject, can say his opinion, and propose a solution or consequence. Then the leader phrases the options and they vote.
