The dark meridian is not an actual world to play in, in fact you can never physically move around here, but it's just
as important and probably the most important place in the whole game.
Now, you may ask, what exactly IS the Dark Meridian? Well, it's a little complicated...
The Dark Meridian is NOT, I repeat NOT the Realm of Darkness, nor is it the Realm of Nothingness or even the Realm of
Light, not even the Realm In-Between. So, what is it? Those are the only 4 existing realms, right?
Well, yeah, but the thing with the Dark Meridian is that it exists basically on the edge of the Realms. So, where you
see Sora and Riku at the end of KH2 is on the very tip of the Realm of Nothingness, looking out towards the Realm of Darkness,
reflected by the blackness of the water.
This is more of a gateway thing. So, if this is still confusing, read on. The Dark Meridian is basically the border between
the different Realms, with the ocean of all worlds seperating them. Sora and Riku travelled within Kingdom Hearts and were
transported to the official Realm In-Between again, back at TWTNW, and from there were engulfed and sent to Xemnas' battle
area. This is also part of the Realm of Nothingness. They travelled a long way thoughout this realm and saw a light, the gateway
to the edge of the realm. They were most likely drawn there through Kairi's calls, trying to get them to return to the Realm
of Light.
So, now, you ask, well, is this place existing in the Realm of Light?
Possibly. There may be a Dark Meridian, or Light Meridian somewhere in the Realm of Light, and our theory is that
it's Destiny Islands. You can choose to believe this or not, but it makes logical sense. That's how the letter Kairi sent
out into her ocean managed to appear in front of Sora and Riku in the edge of the Realm of Nothingness. The Dark Meridian.
Make sense? Okay. This place is again used in Birth By Sleep, as the resting place for Aqua and Ansem the Wise, (sorry
for spoilers) Ansem the Wise was sent there when his machine blew up, forcing him out of the Realm In-Between to the edge
of the Realm of Darkness and another Realm, either In-Between, Light or Nothingness, maybe all of them. We don't know if it
borders between two Realms or all the Realms, but we think it could be all the realms. So, Aqua was sent there after she again
plunged herself into the Realm of Darkness, losing her armour and Keyblade, and was wandering the path beyond Kingdom Hearts.
She eventually travelled far enough and found herself at the edge of the Realm, and was greeted by Ansem the Wise.
This is the common ground for all to reflect in their thoughts without being in danger of a threat from a particular
realm, because remember, this area does not truly exist in a single realm.
Hm... so that's about all you need to know about this place. Still have questions? Contact us and we'll answer them.
Since you never play in this world, there aren't any other categories needed here.
