All the '''glossary''' entries that appear in the [[Report]]s of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'':

===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.''

===Secret Message===

<center>

''The past will be reawakened''<br>

===Keyblade Masters===

{{main|Keyblade Master}}

:''A title reserved for the select few who have proven their knowledge and skill with the Keyblade is sufficient to protect the order of the World.''

:''In the past, Masters Eraqus and Xehanort achieved this rank, as did Yen Sid. In recent times, Aqua, King Mickey, and Riku have become Masters as well.''

===The Keyblade War===

{{main|Keyblade War}}

:''An epic clash in the distant past, when the forces of light and dark fought for control of Kingdom Hearts—the collective heart of every world—and the χ-blade that serves as its key. The battleground upon which the war was fought is now known as the Keyblade Graveyard, a barren place where Keyblades jut from the ground like tombstones.''

:''Master Xehanort seeks to recreate the Keyblade War in order to forge the χ-blade, unlock Kingdom Hearts, and learn what mysteries await in the world beyond.''

===Heartless===

{{main|Heartless}}

:''Foot soldiers in the forces of darkness. They can appear in any world, and attack those living there in order to steal their hearts.''

:''The Heartless are formed when a person's heart is separated from their body and the darkness in the heart takes physical shape. They act autonomously, and their attacks are able to corrupt even those with hearts of light, giving rise to new Heartless in turn.''

===Nobodies===

{{main|Nobody}}

:''Nobodies who possessed exceptionally strong hearts in life may retain their original appearance, as did all of the previous Organization XIII's members. Not everyone fares so well, however; most bodies cease to exist the moment their hearts are lost. As a result, Nobodies are fewer in number than their Heartless counterparts.''

===Dream Eaters===

{{main|Dream Eater}}

:''In the age of fairy tales, Spirits called the Chirithy once provided assistance to Keyblade wielders.''

===Organization XIII===

{{main|Organization XIII}}

:''A group of thirteen powerful Nobodies who retained their human appearance, led by Xehanort's Nobody, Xemnas. They attempted to create an artificial Kingdom Hearts by gathering hearts released from fallen Heartless, but Sora and his friends thwarted their plans and put an end to most of their ranks.''

:''The members of Organization XIII were recompleted as humans after their destruction. Like Sora's newfound ally Axel, they retain memories of their lives both during the Organization and before.''

===The Real Organization XIII===

{{main|Real Organization XIII}}

:''A new Organization under Master Xehanort's direct command. It comprises the thirteen pure darknesses he needs to reenact the Keyblade War.''

:''Many members are recognizable from the old Organization. Despite regaining their humanity after their defeat, they chose to become Nobodies again. They now scour the worlds for candidates to complete their numbers.''

===The Three Realms===

{{main|Universe of Kingdom Hearts}}

:''The worlds Sora travels are divided into three regions: the realm of light, the realm of darkness, and the realm between.''

:''Worlds in the realm of light and the realm between exist as planets in a great sea of stars, which Sora and his friends explore aboard their smile-powered gummi ship.''

===Datascapes===

{{main|Datascape}}

:''Artificial simulations based on real-world data. Inside a datascape, time can be made to loop infinitely, and the impossible becomes possible.''

:''The alternate Twilight Town that Roxas shared with Hayner, Pence, and Olette is one such world.''

===The Power of Waking===

:''In Yen Sid's words, "the power to free a heart from its sleep." By the end of his Mark of Mastery examination, Sora had acquired the power of waking, but he lost it when he nearly became a vessel for Xehanort.''

:''It is a rare and special power that, at the time of this writing, only Riku and the King possess.''

===Lost Memories===

:''Sora's memories of his adventures at Castle Oblivion in the realm between, and of the members of Organization XIII he faced there. In the end, he cast aside his memories of Castle Oblivion and fell into a deep slumber in order to repair the original memories he'd lost.''

:''The Nobodies of Organization XIII were unaffected by the castle, and still retain unilateral memories of their encounters with Sora there.''

===Ansem's Code===

{{main|Ansem's Code}}

:''A set of data Ansem the Wise cached within Sora while Sora's memories were being repaired. It was entrusted to Riku during the Mark of Mastery examination.''

:''Ienzo and the others back at Radiant Garden are doing their utmost to decipher this data, since it may hold the key to saving Roxas, Naminé, and others.''

===The Replica Program===

::<small>Obtained after clearing three worlds.</small>

:''A research project that was helmed by Vexen when he was part of the original Organization XIII. The goal was to create empty vessels that could contain a heart and outwardly reflect its original appearance.''

===The Black Box===

{{main|Black Box}}

:''The object of Maleficent and Pete's search. Maleficent believes it has been hidden away since the age of fairy tales, but no one knows where it is or what exactly it contains.''

===The Old Words===

:''"May your heart be your guiding key."''

:''A phrase oft intoned by Keyblade users in the age of fairy tales. The words live on today, though few still recite them.''
