Keyblade Graveyard

Unreleased

The Gathering Place is a world, or possibly just a location within another world. It was first revealed in the secret ending at the end of Kingdom Hearts II. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the Lingering Sentiment can be fought here after a series of side-quests.

Several scans of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep show scenes from this area; including one of Terra confronting Master Xehanort and another of King Mickey protecting Ventus.

Setting
All that has been seen in this area is a deserted sand area. This could be either because The Gathering Place only consists of sand and nothing else, or it could be just a location in a currently unknown world. The area looks faintly like "The Great Maw" in the Radiant Garden. Another possibility is that this place is actually the remains of the Land of Departure, after it was overcome by darkness as displayed in a recent trailer.

Somewhere on this world is a field covered in the Keyblades of the Keyblade Masters who fell during the Keyblade War. The open spaces in the Keyblades creates a crossroads.
