It is located within the Realm Between, though a digital copy of the world appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. It was governed by [[Marluxia]], and consists of thirteen floors and twelve basements. After Marluxia's defeat, the Organization abandoned the castle as they lacked the manpower to keep it operational. Hidden within the castle is the Chamber of Waking, where [[Ventus]] sleeps; no one but Aqua can locate the Chamber, as she was the one who locked the castle to keep Ventus safe. | ||

;Sora's Tale I | |||
''Our friends may be here...It was that thought that led us to Castle Oblivion, where cards rule all.'' | |||
''A mysterious man gave Sora a card, and using it took us to Traverse Town—of all places!'' | |||
''It turned out the town was just a figment of our own remembrances, the first world of many that lie in Sora's heart.'' | |||
''And so our journey through these worlds begins.'' | |||
==Settings and Areas== | |||
The interior of Castle Oblivion consists of simplistic white marble architecture with infrequent plinths, wall-carving, and sculptures made with a flower motif. It is divided into many '''{{a|White Room}}s'''{{?}}<!--cite the reports--> which are shaped by the memories of those exploring them through the use of [[World card]]s and [[Map card]]s; though this second part may be due to the Organization's experiments with memory. Between each of the White Rooms is an {{nihongo|'''{{a|Entrance Hall}}'''|入口ホール|Iriguchi Hōru}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Exit Hall}}'''|出口ホール|Deguchi Hōru}} for each of the thirteen floors and twelve basements. The Entrance Halls contain "{{a|World Warp}}s" which allow quick travel between the floors. The castle also contains a {{nihongo|'''{{a|Pod Room}}'''|ポッドルーム|Poddo Rūmu}}, housing the [[Memory Pod]] within which Sora, Donald, and Goofy were put in hibernation; it is located on the thirteenth floor. | |||
The thirteenth floor and the first basement each having a meeting room the Organization use; though only the top floor has a way to monitor the other floors, via a crystal ball. Naminé is kept in the top floor meeting room. The basement meeting room is dimly lit, and usually where Zexion can be found.<!--Zexion is always the first to show up here, so it stands to reason this is where he "observes" scents of darkness--> Vexen additionally has a lab of some sort, where he was working on the [[replica]] project. Marluxia is also [[Game:Marluxia|fought in sort of pocket dimension, where he freely shapes it to suit his needs]]; Sora seals the entrance, causing it to disappear. | |||
In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' the interior of the castle is five separate white rooms modified to match the basics layouts of '''{{a|Destiny Islands}}''', '''{{a|Traverse Town}}''', '''{{a|Wonderland}}''', '''{{a|Olympus Coliseum}}''', '''{{a|Agrabah}}''' and '''{{a|Hollow Bastion}}'''; images from each world appear in poster-esque fashion on the walls. | |||

The interior is implied to be incredibly vast, to the point one would get lost in it, as was the intention of Aqua; the Organization compensate by using Dark Corridors. Axel has complained that searching the castle is next to impossible, stating it's "like counting grains of dust in a room of sneezing people". | |||

After the events at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], [[Aqua]] brought a comatose [[Ventus]] to the Land of Departure, which had been destroyed in a storm of darkness by Master Xehanort. In order to keep Ventus safe, Aqua follows [[Eraqus]]'s prior instructions to seal the world's Keyhole with his Keyblade and recreate it as a labyrinth that only she could navigate, using a means devised by prior guardians. She leaves Ventus in the castle's newly-formed [[Chamber of Waking]] and promises to bring [[Terra]] back with her before waking him up. As Aqua leaves to search for Terra, she looks back on her transformed home. | ||

The castle is eventually discovered by [[Xemnas]] of Organization XIII, who decides to convert it into a second headquarters for the Organization. It is intended to be a place to research memories, an important topic to the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] of the Organization, who have only their memories with which to form personalities. Xemnas sends [[Xigbar]] and [[Xaldin]] to recruit more members for the Organization, as they need a large group in order to run the castle.

Eventually, a strange Nobody named [[Naminé]] appears in the castle and is found by the Organization. She soon becomes the center of their research, due to her strange abilities of memory manipulation. In order to further research, pods are developed that can be used to piece together memories. Xemnas entrusts the castle and Naminé to the neophyte Marluxia, but the latter soon plots to use this power in a bid to seize control over the Organization. While Marluxia and his associates, [[Larxene]] and [[Axel]], control the top half of the castle, the senior members [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], and [[Zexion]] control the basements. | Eventually, a strange Nobody named [[Naminé]] appears in the castle and is found by the Organization.

They follow Pluto along the path to Castle Oblivion, and as soon as they enter the castle, they forget all of their skills and are forced to rely upon the castle's memory-based card system. Although Marluxia and Larxene tell them their memory loss is simply the nature of the castle, it is revealed that the mysterious girl Naminé is actually the one reshaping Sora's memories, so that Marluxia can use Sora as a puppet against Xemnas. The scheme fails thanks to the meddling of Axel (who was actually on orders from Xemnas and [[Saïx]] to rid the Organization of traitors), who frees Naminé, and Marluxia and Larxene are destroyed at Sora's hand. Sora then uses one of Xemnas's pods so that Naminé can restore his memories, and is eventually moved to [[Twilight Town]]. | ||

Though he initially sets out to destroy the indelible darkness in his heart, with the help of [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]], Naminé, and King Mickey, he is able to eventually embrace both the light and the dark, achieving balance. The three basement members, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion seek to recruit Riku in order to counter Marluxia's use of Sora, but Riku denies their requests and vanquishes them. Riku eventually defeats the Ansem in his heart, and decides not to have Naminé seal it away completely; instead, he sets out on the "road to dawn" in order to help while Sora is sleeping. | ||
