==Story==

=== ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' ===

Villain's Vale does not appear in ''Kingdom Hearts''; instead, we see Maleficent holding meetings in the chapel area in [[Hollow Bastion]], the same area that [[Sora]] battles Maleficent in her human form. Why Maleficent didn't use Villain's Vale in the first game is unknown. Possibly, she found that the castle of Hollow Bastion was much grander and macabre, perfect for Maleficent's tastes and left the Villain's Vale after she had taken over the castle.

The fortress also acts as the driving force of most of Maleficent's actions during this game. After losing Hollow Bastion to the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, she deems the crumbling fortress unworthy, and begins searching for a new, grander castle in which to rule, setting her sights on both Disney Castle and the [[Castle that Never Was]].

It can now be seen from the Bailey of [[Radiant Garden]] in the distance, and the Ravine Trail and following maps lead one closer to the fortress from the town. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', if the player uses the [[Reaction Command]] on the left balcony in the Bailey at the Radiant Garden, the resulting text says that he can see the "Villain's Vale, where [[Maleficent]] once resided." Another mention lies in [[Jiminy's Journal]]; in the story section, Jiminy states "In Villain's Vale the Heartless were swarming, as Nobodies darted about." The dark depths is very close to it, and gives a good view of the whole citadel. Both [[Xemnas]] and [[Sephiroth]] stand on the edge of the cliff, looking over the fortress at different points in the game. In Sephiroth's case, he overlooks Villains Vale preceding the one battle that is supposedly the hardest battle in the original ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
