===Keyblades===

{{Main|Keyblade}}

:''A key-shaped weapon forged by man during the age of fairy tales. Any other origins have yet to be revealed.''

:''All Keyblades have one of three natures: light, darkness, or heart. These last two are exceptional; most documented Keyblades, including Sora's and Riku's, are Keyblades of light.''

===Keyblade Masters===

{{Main|Keyblade Master}}

:''Guardians of the balance between light and darkness. Through the "Bequeathing," they choose the next generation of Keyblade wielders, training their bodies and tempering their hearts so that they, too, might one day be Keyblade Masters.''

:''While the word "master" might be tossed around, only an existing Keyblade Master can pass on the title and its associated powers. They often elect to test candidates for the Mark of Mastery.''

===Master Xehanort===

{{Main|Master Xehanort}}

:''Arguably the most powerful Keyblade Master in history, and a staunch advocate for a world where light and darkness are equal. In his thirst for knowledge, he allowed his heart to succumb to the darkness.''

:''While attempting to reproduce the Keyblade War, he was thwarted by three young Keyblade wielders, and his body was seemingly destroyed.''

===The Keyblade War===

{{Main|Keyblade War}}

:''An ancient and epic war that lives on in fairy tales. It erupted over a sacred place known as "Kingdom Hearts"—the source of all light.''

:''Keyblade wielders from the legions of light and darkness vied to control Kingdom Hearts, and wiped out all the World's light as a result.''

===Heartless===

{{Main|Heartless}}

:''Living embodiments of the darkness within our hearts, and therefore the darkness that has been in the world since its inception. Although they originate in our hearts, they have no hearts of their own, hence their name.''

:''They instinctively hunt for hearts, and survive and reproduce by stealing them. They have no leaders or hierarchy, least of all the chaotic "Purebloods" which arise spontaneously.''

===Kingdom Hearts===

{{Main|Kingdom Hearts}}

:''According to legend, the source of all true light is known as "Kingdom Hearts."''

:''We know Xehanort has created two Kingdom Hearts now, both artificially, by amassing enough hearts. One was made from the hearts of worlds, and the other from the hearts of people.''

===Nobodies===

{{Main|Nobody}}

:''If a strong-hearted person loses or is robbed of that heart, their body and spirit can live on as a Nobody.''

:''Nobodies have no hearts, but they retain their human memories, which serve as a reservoir from which to draw human emotion.''

===Organization XIII===

{{Main|Organization XIII}}

:''When the strongest of heart become "Nobodies," they retain human form even after their heart is gone.''

:''Ansem the Wise had six apprentices, the best of whom called himself Xehanort. The real Ansem abandoned his studies of the heart, but Xehanort could not let it stop there. He and the other apprentices betrayed Ansem and cast their hearts away to continue their master's research.''

===Seven Princesses===

{{Main|Princesses of Heart}}

:''Another name for the princesses of heart: the only seven people in the world whose hearts are pure light.''

:''While not necessarily royalty, they are called "princesses" because they are all female and the one who brings them together will reign over all worlds.''

===Recusant's Sigil===

{{Main|Recusant's Sigil}}

:''Xemnas, leader of Organization XIII, gave new names to all who entered its ranks. Each name was an anagram created from the member's original name plus the letter X.''

:''This X is known as the Recusant's Sigil, and has manifested itself in both obvious and insidious ways throughout Sora's adventures.''

===χ-blade===

{{Main|χ-blade}}

:''If Kingdom Hearts is a lock, then this blade from the age of fairy tales was the key.''

:''It could be argued that without the χ-blade, the Keyblade War might never have been waged; after all, you cannot possess what you cannot find or unlock.''

===Hearts Tied to Sora===

:''Not long after Sora was born, his heart connected with that of a boy named Ventus. Ventus's heart had been torn apart, but Sora saved him by sharing a part of his own.''

:''Several years later, three young Keyblade wielders—Terra, Aqua, and Ventus—found themselves embroiled in a battle with Master Xehanort. In their travels, Master Aqua and Terra both met Sora and his best friend, Riku. Sora promised Aqua to keep Riku on the right path, while Riku made a secret promise with Terra. Not long after, Terra became a vessel for Master Xehanort, and Aqua vanished into the realm of darkness. As for Ventus, he shattered his own heart to protect his friends and returned to Sora's heart, where he sleeps to this day.''
