"Beyond both light and dark he dwells, where war was waged upon the fells."

—The Magic Mirror to Terra.

The Keyblade Graveyard is a world that appears in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It was first revealed in Kingdom Hearts II's secret ending, The Gathering. Before its formal introduction as a world, the Keyblade Graveyard is known as "The Badlands" (謎の荒野, Nazo no Areno, lit. "The Mysterious Wasteland").

Settings and Areas

The Keyblade Graveyard is made up of unending, rocky badlands, scarred by the battles of the Keyblade War. Early on, Terra and Ventus investigate the world at the Badlands (荒野, Areno, lit. "Wasteland"), where they run into Master Xehanort and Vanitas, respectively. Later, the Vanitas Remnant and Lingering Will appear here, where they challenge intruders to battle.

Each of the heroes eventually enter the true battlegrounds of the world at the Seat of War (古戦場, Kosenjou, lit. "Ancient Battlefield"), a small outcropping of rock overlooking the shattered vista below. It leads into the Twister Trench (砂嵐の道, Suna-arashi no Michi, lit. "Sandstorm Road"), where literal storms of raw emotion roam freely. Within the Eye of the Storm (嵐の中, Arashi no Naka, lit. "Within the Storm") inside each twister, Unversed lurk, ready to attack all who are captured by the maelstrom. Past the storms is the Fissure (峡谷, Kyōkoku), a small ravine containing a save point and a Moogle Shop. The final area, the titular Keyblade Graveyard (キーブレード墓場, Kīburēdo Hakaba) are two crossroads, covered by the Keyblades of the wielders who fell during the Keyblade War. During his battle with the heroes, Master Xehanort creates a pillar of rock from the graveyard, and summons Kingdom Hearts to shine down upon it.

After Master Xehanort steals Terra's body and is reborn as Terra-Xehanort, Terra's soul animates his armor as the Lingering Will, locks them both within the Will's Cage (思念の檻, Shinen no Ori), and forces him into a final battle. Meanwhile, Ventus and Vanitas have reunited into Ventus-Vanitas, and Ventus is forced to fight off Vanitas's control within Ventus's Mind (ヴェントゥスの精神世界, Ventusu no Seishin Sekai, lit. "Ventus's Soul World"). Both of these areas vanish after the battle ends.

Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

The Keyblade Graveyard appears many times in game, but is only known as the Badlands until the final battle; until then it is only accessible through story. Master Xehanort calls Terra here to give him information to assist in his fruitless quest to find Vanitas. Ventus also is lured here, where Vanitas and Master Xehanort manipulate him into questioning Master Eraqus.

Following the destruction of the Land of Departure, Terra, Aqua and Ventus arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard, where they confront Master Xehanort, who plans on fusing Vanitas back into Ventus to create the X-blade. Master Xehanort uses Vanitas and his ally Braig, to try killling Aqua and force Ventus to fight; once the fusion of Ventus and Vanitas is successful, Master Xehanort unlocks his own heart and possesses Terra's body, being reborn as a new Xehanort. However, the plan backfires when Terra's soul animates his discarded armor and knocks out Xehanort, while the X-blade is broken by Aqua and Ventus destroys Vanitas in an internal battle; as a result, the X-blade explodes into an orb of light that swallows everything except Terra's armor. The embodiment of Terra's will vows to one day correct the wrongs committed by Xehanort.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

Eleven years later, a portal to the Keyblade Graveyard opens in the Hall of the Cornerstone under Disney Castle. Per Queen Minnie's request, Sora, Donald and Goofy pass through it and meet the Lingering Will. It attempts identifying Sora, as he seems familiar, but ends up mistaking him for Xehanort. However, after a long and grueling battle, the Will ends the fight as it can sense Ventus's heart inside Sora; it also acknowledges Sora as a Keyblade Master.

Other appearances

Trivia

• The capital letters in the logo for the Keyblade Graveyard slightly resemble the protagonists' Keyblades. The "K" bears resemblance to the teeth of the Earthshaker, the "E" resembles the teeth of the Wayward Wind, the "G" bears similarity to the guard of the Rainfell, and the final "D" resembles the guard of the Kingdom Key complete with the Keychain, albeit featuring Sora's Crown Pendant rather than a Mickey Head.
• The "teeth" of Oblivion, Oathkeeper, Sleeping Lion, Follow the Wind, Circle of Life, and Fenrir, as well as the Keychain of Master Xehanort's Keyblade, can been seen coming out of the bottom of the World icon.
• Each Eye of the Storm contains Unversed inflicted with either Slow, Haste, or an unnamed status that enlarges them.
