Keyblade War: Difference between revisions

In the "age of fairy tales", the world was whole and full of light. People believed the light came from [[Kingdom Hearts]], the heart of all worlds, which was protected by its counterpart, the [[χ-blade]]. When the [[Master of Masters]] was a boy, the Keyblade War, a conflict between light and darkness began. This conflict continued without end for an unknown period of time. Long after, due to the secret manipulations of the Master of Masters, his students, the five [[Foreteller]]s tasked with protecting the light, began to mistrust each other after receiving a prophecy of the coming war.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover]]''''', '''Narrator''': "Long, long ago, all the worlds were still one. One day, this would be called the age of fairy tales. It all began here in Daybreak Town. The Master of Masters had an eye that gazes into the future. He bestowed upon five of six apprentices a copy of the Book of Prophecies, in which was written the events to come."</ref><ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover]]''''', '''Master of Masters''': "The final passage reads, 'On that fated land, a great war shall transpire. Darkness will prevail and the light expires.'"</ref> They began competing over the world's [[Lux]], believing it would give them the power to push back the oncoming darkness, but in the end, their efforts collapsed into an internecine conflict that embroiled the entire world.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts χ}}  

Eventually, darkness covered the world, the χ-blade was shattered into twenty pieces, seven of pure light and thirteen of pure darkness, and the "true" Kingdom Hearts disappeared into the darkness. However, the world was restored by the light within the hearts of children, but as many individual [[world]]s separated from each other. The remnants of the battlefield on which the Keyblade War took place became the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], a scarred wasteland filled with the Keyblades of fallen warriors. The remaining Keyblade wielders resolved to protect the world from further destruction, becoming guardians of the world order.
