The {{nihongo|'''Chamber of Repose'''|眠りの部屋|Nemuri no Heya}} was a room in [[Hollow Bastion]] built by the apprentices of [[Ansem the Wise]]. It has a sister room called the {{nihongo|'''Chamber of Waking'''|目覚めの部屋|Mezame no Heya}}. It is a mysterious room that [[Xemnas]] was looking for in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' but it has never been shown and was only talked about in reference to the Chamber of Repose.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

Following Ventus entering a coma-like state, Aqua transforms the Land of Departure into Castle Oblivion. The throne room of the Land of Departure becomes a chamber that looks very similar to the Chamber of Repose, only instead of Nobody sigils, the room is adorned with Terra's Mark, and the room is noticeably brighter. There is a single, tall throne in the center, where Aqua lays the comatose Ventus.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Aqua's armor in the Chamber of Repose.

After the apprentices banished Ansem the Wise, but before they became Nobodies, the apprentices created the Chamber of Repose within the Radiant Garden's castle. Xemnas would frequently travel to the room, as if something within it reminded him of his forgotten past.

To enter the chamber, Xemnas would visit Ansem's computer room, insert a data disk into the machine, and type in the password "Another", after which he would type in six more passwords: the original names of the six apprentices.

This would cause a passage to appear below the Heartless Manufactory, which has a long stairway spiraling down to a long hall. Inside this hall are doors electronically locked and bound with chains. At the end of the hall is a room containing a throne for Xemnas to sit on, as well as Aqua's Stormfall and Keyblade Armor. Xemnas would speak to the armor, addressing it as a "friend".
