===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Long before Sora's journey, [[Xehanort]] and [[Eraqus]] became apprentices under an unnamed [[Keyblade Master]], and they served to protect the Realm of Light from darkness. However, Xehanort's natural curiosity about the darkness and his research into the Keyblade War eventually led him to believe that the sovereignty of light upheld by the Keyblade wielders was tyrannical and misguided. Xehanort sought to create a world in which light and darkness existed in equilibrium; due to the lack of balance between these two forces, if he was to accomplish this goal, he would need to unleash a flood of darkness upon the worlds in the form of a second Keyblade War.

Xehanort sought to create a world in which light and darkness existed in equilibrium; due to the lack of balance between these two forces, if he was to accomplish this goal, he would need to unleash a flood of darkness upon the worlds in the form of a second Keyblade War.


While both Xehanort and Eraqus were declared Keyblade Masters, their differing opinions regarding the start of a second Keyblade War caused Xehanort to leave the Land of Departure. Eraqus became the Successor, and he took on [[Terra]] and [[Aqua]] as his apprentices. Elsewhere, Xehanort resolved to recreate the χ-blade, and when his pupil, [[Ventus]], refused to submit to the darkness, the elderly Keyblade Master extracted the darkness in the boy's heart to create [[Vanitas]]. This left Ventus's heart incomplete and almost resulted in the boy's death, but when he survived, he was left in Eraqus's care. In time, Vanitas would be forced to clash with Ventus, thus forging the χ-blade.
