In the prequel ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', set ten years before the events of the first game, Kingdom Hearts appears in a form similar to ''Kingdom Hearts II'' but blue in the sky above the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. The graveyard is all that remains of a conflict called the [[Keyblade War]], set many years before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Keyblade Masters affiliated with both Light and Darkness fought to create the legendary [[X-Blade]], a Keyblade capable of unlocking Kingdom Hearts. The Keyblade Masters failed and destroyed themselves; all that remain are their weapons which litter the desolate world. | In the prequel ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', set ten years before the events of the first game, Kingdom Hearts appears in a form similar to ''Kingdom Hearts II'' but blue in the sky above the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

Some time after, an aged Keyblade Master named [[Master Xehanort]] formulated a plan to create the X-Blade, intending to unlock Kingdom Hearts.

Opposite to Eraqus's beliefs of light being absolute, Xehanort saw that light could not exist without darkness. Xehanort believed that the balance between light and darkness was what sustained the worlds. However, he noticed that light was prevailing and that darkness was excluded too much. As a result, he created a goal for himself to destroy the current system of light and recreate a new system of darkness, and through the rise of darkness, he would reorganize the worlds. | ||
Along with the X-Blade, Xehanort also needed one more ingredient in his plan: a vessel. With the opening of Kingdom Hearts, he would be able to obtain a new body and discard his old one. As a result, his search for the vessel led him to [[Terra]]. He saw that Terra was looking for power, and that through obtaining this power, his heart would also give birth to darkness. Thus, with this observation, Xehanort concluded that Terra was to be his new vessel. | Along with the X-Blade, Xehanort also needed one more ingredient in his plan: a vessel.

The Kingdom Hearts made by Organization XIII was assembled from the "hearts of men," meaning people's hearts were compiled into it. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep'', the X-Blade unlocked Kingdom Hearts from "the hearts of worlds," meaning the hearts of entire worlds were assembled for its creation. | ||
