Universe of Kingdom Hearts: Difference between revisions

Sea of Skies makes a lot more sense: "There are many worlds, and they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny."
(There is still a lot to add, to rewrite and to rephrase. The Realm of Nothingness (狭間の世界) is still missing, but there is not enough information on that topic. Also the Japanese use a Spirit Realm (精神世界) term for the Awakening.)

Those who travel between worlds are advised to avoid meddling in the affairs of other worlds, and informing their inhabitants of the existence of other worlds, in order to maintain a balance of separation. To this end, several characters, notably [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]], magically alter their physical appearances in certain worlds to avoid standing out. For example, they become sea creatures in [[Atlantica]], Halloween monsters in [[Halloween Town]], jungle animals in [[Pride Lands]], and computer A.I.s in [[Space Paranoids]].

Currently, there are five known ways to travel between the worlds:
*'''Gummi''': Pieces of Gummi known as "[[Star Shard]]s", or the [[Gummi Ship]]s built from them are able to travel the Sea of Outer Space. Using Gummi Ships is much easier, as single Star Shards will cause random jumps if their handler isn't skilled in their use.

*{{nihongo|'''Lanes between'''|異空の回廊|I Sora no Kairou}}:The Lanes Between are a series of "roads" between the worlds in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' that were unlocked by [[Master Eraqus]]. Ventus, Aqua, and Terra frequently use these paths to navigate the worlds. The presence of Darkness is very strong within them, forcing travelers to wear their [[Keyblade Armor]] as a safety precaution. To enter the Lanes, the Keyblade wielder raises his or her Keyblade to the sky, and creates a portal leading into the Lanes, appearing somewhat similar to the Dark Corridors. Upon opening the way, they usually call their ''[[Keyblade Glider]]'' and use it to enter. The Lanes resemble the Corridors of Darkness, but with a color scheme closely resembling the Aurora Borealis.
