Keyblader's Library



The Keyblader's Library is a world appearing in Kingdom Hearts: Shadows of Eternity. It was once home to a prosperous civilization of Keyblade Wielders.

Story
One hundred years before the events of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, there existed a select few worlds where civilizations of Keyblade Wielders lived in happiness and safety. These worlds were the Land of Departure, which was the training ground for Keyblade newcomers, the Keyblader's Library, where the majority of their knowledge was secured, and the Calm Elysians, where festivals were held in honor of the light. This was the Golden Age of the Key, where nearly all darkness was eradicated, except for what little existed on the fringes.

Due to the research of a forgetten group of scientifically minded wielders, it was discovered that if all seven Kingdom Keys could be united at the Door to Light, then Kingdom Hearts would be unlocked, and all Darkness could be eradicated. This lead to the Great Search, wherein serveral worlds were searched for potential wielders who might then possess one of the Seven. Sadly, none could be found. This lead to the theory of creating the χ-Blade, a Keyblade made from hearts of both Light and Darkness. This sparked the first Keyblade War, and ravaged the Calm Elysians, giving birth to the Keyblade Graveyard.

One dundred and fifteen years later, the Keyblader's Library stands abandoned and forlorn. While most of the ancient tomes within have turned to dust or been otherwise destroyed by time, within the Oracle's Sanctuary is the Tome of the Seven, which details the Seven Kingdom Keys' pruposes in the universe, and how they migth all be used to unlock Kingdom Hearts.
