Kingdom Hearts
Companion Guide
Terms, characters, and the questions each entry leaves open, to read after finishing each entry of the main document.
Preface
This guide exists to help you remember. Kingdom Hearts builds up a great many names, places, rules and relationships, and after a long entry it is easy to lose hold of some of them. Each section here goes with one entry of the main document and gathers what that entry established: the terms and lore it introduced, where each character stands when it ends, the questions it leaves open, and a few facts about the game it comes from.
Each section is safe to read as soon as you have finished the matching entry. Nothing in a section draws on anything later than the entry it belongs to. The final section, The Missing Links, covers cancelled and lost games and assumes you have finished the whole book.
Entries of the main document are named in bold italics, as in Birth by Sleep, to set them apart from the games they adapt, which are named in plain text.
Everything defined here is also defined inside the story at the point it first matters. This guide exists so the definitions can be found again without hunting for them, not because the story is incomplete without it.
