List of Glossary terms: Difference between revisions

===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}}

:''Embodiments of emptiness that serve the darkness. Nobodies arise alongside Heartless, while the empty body left behind becomes its own autonomous creature.''

:''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}}

:''Creatures native to the Sleeping Worlds that feed on dreams. Two types exist: Nightmares that eat good dreams and plant bad ones in their stead, and Spirist that eat only bad dreams. The Spirits have fought alongside Sora and Riku in past battles.''

:''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 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 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.''
