Kingdom Hearts | The colors of each individual Kingdom Hearts correspond to its composition. For example, the Kingdom Hearts constructed by [[Organization XIII]] from the "hearts of men" is yellow, while the Kingdom Hearts revealed by Master Xehanort's use of the χ-blade is blue. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Kingdom Hearts, once again summoned by Xehanort, was a fiery gold, but whenever Xehanort corrupted it or drawn power from it, it becomes a conglomeration of dark and foreboding colors, including purple and dark blue.<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> | ||

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}} | 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.

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.
