==Nature==
Kingdom Hearts usually manifests as a bright, heart-shaped moon in the sky, with a darker aura surrounding it. Kingdom Hearts is a source of tremendously-powerful [[light]], and the surrounding aura consists of equally-powerful [[darkness]] - in essence, it represents the brightest light shining in the deepest darkness.
<!--cover how to make one, where it's located, how to open a pathway, and what finding it does for you.-->
===Abilities===
According to [[Xehanort]], one who opens the door to Kingdom Hearts will be able to destroy the current universe, called "the World", and create a new universe, called the "Next World"{{storylink|Xehanort's Report IV}}, shaped any way that they desire. This person would be "reborn as something far greater than human", and also "[gain] control over all worlds and all people".{{storylink|Xehanort's Report VI}}
Both Kingdom Hearts and its counterpart weapon, the [[χ-blade]], are also capable of opening numerous [[Gate]]s, golden keyhole-shaped portals between worlds.
===Entering Kingdom Hearts===
{{main|χ-blade}}
Opening the door to Kingdom Hearts usually requires the [[χ-blade]], a legendary weapon that co-exists with Kingdom Hearts itself. In ancient times, the χ-blade was broken into twenty pieces, seven of light and thirteen of darkness. As such, to reforge the weapon, seven beings of light and thirteen beings of darkness must clash in combat. While it is possible to forge the χ-blade with as few as 1 being of light and 1 being of darkness, doing so will result in an incomplete and unstable version of the weapon. Once Kingdom Hearts has been opened, it is possible for those without the χ-blade to enter it as well.
===Forms===
There currently exist four forms of Kingdom Hearts, each with varying appearances and methods of creation. <ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 26; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I think of "all life has heart" as the most basic premise of KH. The heart of worlds was a great heart that gathered everything that formed those worlds: the natural things such as the trees in the forests, the oceans and rivers, the flowers and such. The heart of people, as it is called, was the collected hearts of the humans and animals and such that lived in those worlds. A Kingdom Hearts is considered to be an aggregation of the originally invisible "proofs of life" known as hearts." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref>
====Kingdom Hearts of Worlds' Hearts====
This form is located in the [[Realm of Darkness]], and is created by the combined hearts of worlds that have been destroyed by [[Heartless]]. Once enough worlds have fallen to darkness, fragments of them gather as the [[End of the World]]. The [[Door to Darkness]], granting access to the Realm of Darkness, will appear, and Kingdom Hearts will reside just beyond the door. This Kingdom Hearts manifests as a dark silhouette behind the Door, though its light is made evident when the Door is opened.
====Kingdom Hearts of People's Hearts====
This form is located in [[The World that Never Was]], and is created by the stolen hearts of people, released by defeated heartless. It manifests as a yellow heart-shaped moon with a dark blue aura surrounding it. When it is damaged, the moon has a large purple crater in the center, and the surrounding aura changes into a bright purple.
Additionally, a second instance of this form appears in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where it formed from the hearts of slain Keyblade wielders during the Keyblade War. This version appears as a pale blue moon, with no noticeable aura.
====Kingdom Hearts of the incomplete χ-blade====
This form is located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and is formed when a being of pure darkness clashes in combat with an equivalent-strength being of pure light. This clash simultaneously creates an incomplete version of the χ-blade, a legendary weapon that is normally capable of opening the door to enter Kingdom Hearts. This version is once again a pale blue moon with no clear aura.
====True Kingdom Hearts====
This form is once again located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and the method is similar to that of the incomplete χ-blade. For this, instead of 1 light and 1 darkness clashing, there must be seven lights and thirteen darknesses clashing. To "clash" can be as minimal as a single swing, and the amount of victors, survivors, or casualties on either side does not matter. Once this process is done, the completed χ-blade as well as the True Kingdom Hearts will appear.
This version's colors are the most dynamic. When initially summoned, its color is a fiery gold. When Xehanort draws power from it or corrupts it with darkness, it takes on a dark blue or purple appearance. When it gathers power to recreate the universe, it is a fiery orange.

==Story==
===Early history===
===Early history===
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]]. 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 expire.'"</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 internecine conflict that embroiled the entire world. {{storylink|Kingdom Hearts χ}} This came to a head in the [[Keyblade War]], where many Keyblade wielders fought each other and lost their lives. When the conflict ended, the lost hearts gathered to form Kingdom Hearts above the devastated battleground, which became known as the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].
In the "age of fairy tales", when the World was whole, Kingdom Hearts was believed to be the source of all light. It was protected by its counterpart, the [[χ-blade]]. Many came to desire the power of light contained within Kingdom Hearts, and they clashed together, wielding the [[Keyblade]]s they created in the image of the χ-blade. Their greed and jealousy introduced darkness into the World, and in the aftermath of this [[Keyblade War]], the χ-blade was shattered into pieces, darkness covered the World, and Kingdom Hearts disappeared within the darkness.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}}
 
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts χ'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
After the Keyblade War, the events of the "age of fairy tales" became legend and it was eventually believed that the cause of the war was that many came to desire the power of light contained within Kingdom Hearts, and they clashed together, wielding the [[Keyblade]]s they created in the image of the χ-blade. Their greed and jealousy introduced darkness into the world, and in the aftermath of this [[Keyblade War]], darkness covered the world, the χ-blade was shattered into twenty pieces, seven of light and thirteen of 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.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}}


As a Keyblade wielder, [[Xehanort]] studied the legends surrounding Kingdom Hearts, the χ-blade, and the Keyblade War. After he became a [[Keyblade Master]], he searched for a way to reforge the χ-blade, summon Kingdom Hearts, and restart the Keyblade War in order to purge the world from the darkness that plagued it.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III}}

As a Keyblade wielder, [[Xehanort]] studied the legends surrounding Kingdom Hearts, the χ-blade, and the Keyblade War. After he became a [[Keyblade Master]], he searched for a way to reforge the χ-blade, summon Kingdom Hearts, and restart the Keyblade War in order to recreate the World as a balance between light and darkness.


To further his plans, he extracted the heart of his pupil, [[Ventus]], to create [[Vanitas]]. He left Ventus with his fellow former student, [[Eraqus]], with the intention of having him and Vanitas clash in the future to create the χ-blade.

While Ventus and Vanitas clash, Xehanort faces Terra, who he encourages to embrace the darkness. When Ventus and Vanitas fuse, creating the χ-blade, Xehanort uses his power as a Keyblade Master to extract his own heart and implant it in Terra, with the intention of seeing the results of the new Keyblade War in his new body.

However, Ventus and Aqua's combined efforts succeed in defeating Vanitas and destroying the χ-blade, while the new [[Terra-Xehanort]] is defeated by Terra's [[Lingering Will]] and is knocked unconscious. As Terra-Xehanort is swept away by the explosion of light from the χ-blade, Kingdom Hearts is covered by clouds and disappears from the sky.

An amnesiac Terra-Xehanort is taken in by [[Ansem the Wise]], and he becomes his top apprentice. Together with the other apprentices, he and Master Xehanort's co-conspirator, [[Braig]], conduct experiments into the heart, which lead to the release of the [[Heartless]] into the [[Realm of Light]]. They overthrow and banish Ansem, with Xehanort taking Ansem's name and, soon after, the hearts of himself and his fellows, creating his Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and the first [[Organization XIII]], with his Nobody [[Xemnas]] at its head. While Xemnas leads the Organization in creating a Kingdom Hearts formed from the hearts of people, with the secret plan of using it to transform the other members into vessels for Master Xehanort's heart, his Heartless manipulates [[Maleficent]] into creating and opening the door to a Kingdom Hearts formed from the hearts of worlds.<!--why, again?-->

Ten years after the clash at the Keyblade Graveyard, Maleficent and her alliance of villains seek out a way to reach Kingdom Hearts, in the hopes of gaining immeasurable power and knowledge and dominion over all worlds.
Ten years after the clash at the Keyblade Graveyard, Maleficent and her alliance of villains seek out a way to reach Kingdom Hearts, in the hopes of gaining immeasurable power and knowledge and dominion over all worlds.


To accomplish this, they search for the Seven [[Princesses of Heart]], maidens that possess hearts of pure light who, when brought together, will reveal the [[Final Keyhole]] leading to Kingdom Hearts. Additionally, they release hordes of Heartless into many worlds so they will consume the worlds' hearts. They destroy many worlds, and the hearts gather in the [[Realm of Darkness]] to create Kingdom Hearts. Although they manage to capture all seven Princesses, each of the villains is defeated by [[Sora]].

Ansem, now possessing [[Riku]]'s body, creates a [[Keyblade of heart]] from the hearts of the Princesses. However, the Keyblade and Final Keyhole are incomplete, due to [[Kairi]]'s heart residing in Sora's body. Sora appears to drive Ansem off, but after he uses Ansem's Keyblade to free Kairi's heart, Ansem reappears and uses the completed Keyhole to travel to the [[End of the World]], while the others flee [[Hollow Bastion]].

After a long battle, Ansem reaches the [[Door to Darkness]], beyond which lies the Realm of Darkness and Kingdom Hearts. Ansem forces the door to open, expecting for Kingdom Hearts to fill him with the power of darkness. However, the light of Kingdom Hearts overwhelms him, destroying him. But even with his defeat, the darkness that surrounds Kingdom Hearts threatens to overwhelm the Realm of Light, along with an immeasurable horde of Heartless. To stop the Heartless threat, Sora closes the Door to Darkness with the help of Riku and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], who become trapped on the other side. The world hearts that were taken by the Heartless are freed, and the worlds are restored.

==Notes and references==
==Trivia==
{{reflist}}
* According to Nomura in [[Director's Secret Report XIII]], the differing colors of Kingdom Hearts imply the nature of its assemblage. The Kingdom Hearts made by Organization XIII, glowing yellow, was assembled from the "hearts of men", meaning people's hearts were compiled into it. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', the χ-blade unlocked Kingdom Hearts from "the hearts of worlds", glowing blue, meaning the hearts of entire worlds were assembled for its creation.
