Treasure Trove

 

The Treasure Trove is a Keychain for Terra's, Ventus's, Aqua's, and the Player's Keyblades that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts χ.

Design
The Treasure Trove's overall design is modeled after the crystal mines in the Dwarf Woodlands.

In Birth by Sleep, the handle of the Keyblade is brown and seemingly made of wood. The guard is circular and decorated by seven crystals, three white, two yellow, and two blue. The base of the blade is adorned by a dark grey minecart filled to the brim with crystals in various shades of blue and yellow. The blade is made up of a short mine track with four crooked planks nailed onto it. A small pickaxe is attached to the head of the Keyblade in the same manner as the planks, forming the Keyblade's teeth. The Keychain is a beige cord that connects to the token, a red jewel.

In Kingdom Hearts χ, the Treasure Trove's appearance differs depending on its upgrades. Its default appearance is basic, with only two planks on the track and no crystals on the guard save for a yellow one on what would be the pommel. The minecart is a dull brown color, and it contains rocks and a stick instead of crystals. In addition, one of the pickaxe's spikes is noticeably shorter than the other, and the Keychain displays a green crystal, instead of a red one.

The first upgrade features a number of changes to the design. There are now three planks on the blade, and three silver crystals adorn the guard. The cart now boasts a silver coloration and a gold crystal among the rocks inside it, and a cyan crystal is now on the Keychain. The pickaxe still has one spike shorter than the other.

The second upgrade is identical to the Birth by Sleep iteration of the Keyblade.

The third upgrade features silvery-grey tracks on the blade, with four silver planks adorned with sparkle effects. The cart takes on a brightly silver look with gold wheels and is heaped with gold and blue crystals. The guard is now adorned with violet, pearl, and blue crystals all around, and the Keychain is now silver with a gold crystal as the token. The pickaxe now sports a silver head and grey handle.

The fourth upgrade has the guard decorated with silver and gold crystals. The cart is now black with silver wheels, and the crystals tower over the top, in shades of yellow, blue, grey and red, with one grey crystal flying off the top of the pile. The blade features golden rails and planks, and the Keychain is grey with a red crystal. The pickaxe is still silver. The crystals, rails, pickaxe and Keychain token are all decorated with sparkle effects.

The fifth upgrade gives the Keyblade a powerful, swirling yellow aura.

A "treasure trove" is a phrase that refers to finding a hidden treasure, which reflects the gems the Seven Dwarfs mine. The Keyblade's Japanese name holds a similar meaning, with "splendor" meaning "great luster or brilliance". The full name, "Rock Splendor", references the luster of gemstones.
