The Land of Dragons is a world from Kingdom Hearts II based on the 1998 Disney film wikipedia:Mulan. While named "The Land of Dragons", the world is located in old China, mentioned by several of the world-specific characters, notably Mulan and the Emperor. The world is one of the first Disney-based worlds that is unlocked in the game, after Sora clears Hollow Bastion for the first time.
Pat Morita of Karate Kid fame reprised his role from Mulan as the Emperor; it turned out to be one of his last when he passed away in 2005.
Setting
Sora and company enter at the tranquil Bamboo Grove, and have a reunion with an old friend here. This reunion takes them to the Encampment, where a division of China's army trains and lives. Their missions send them to the nearby Checkpoint, a set of gates near a beautiful waterfall and stream ; the area serves as a sort of crossroads where the world's paths intersect.
Going left takes the party to Mountain Trail, a twisting and curvy path full of ledges, dead ends, and treacherous Heartless. Clearing out the boulders blocking the way allows the army to enter the Village, an abandoned Chinese village near the edge of battle that also holds the world's Moogle shop. Off of the main path is the Village Cave, where a clever trap is laid for Sora and his friends ; continuing on the main path takes the party to the Ridge overlooking a beautiful valley below. Continuing up the path takes them to the final area, the Summit of the mountain, where many major encounters take place.
Going right at the Checkpoint takes the group to the Palace of China ; they arrive in Imperial Square, a wide-open area that plays host to a number of enemies. Continuing up the stairs takes them to the Palace Gate, where the world's boss battles take place. At the end of their second visit, Sora and his party are granted access to the palace itself ; entering the Gate leads them to the Antechamber, and from there the Throne Room, headquarters of the Emperor.
Story
