0:00So, you've finally decided to join the
0:02league of overanalyzing theorists, but
0:05find the game story to be way too
0:07overwhelming to be digested in one
0:09sitting. Don't worry, I got you. Here's
0:11some key terms and facts that will help
0:13you get started if you want to become a
0:14Cookie Run Kingdom theorist. Simplified
0:17and handpicked for your own convenience
0:19by yours truly, of course. Before you
0:21proceed, though, do take note that there
0:23will inevitably be major spoilers ahead.
0:26Proceed at your own risk. All right,
0:28hold on tight. This will be quite a
0:30doozy. [music]
0:36Naturally, the first question you would
0:38ask is where did this all begin? And the
0:41answer is simple. It began with the
0:43witches. [music] Witches are humans
0:45responsible for the creation of a
0:47majority of everything in game. Usually,
0:50they would bake cookies with the
0:51intention of eating them, as a majority
0:53of their known diet consists of eating
0:55sweet things [music] like cakes. The
0:57witches meet every 1,000 years in an
1:00event known as the night of the witches.
1:02In this banquet of sorts, they exchange
1:04meals and bake cookies to be viciously
1:06eaten. This was actually the event that
1:08White Lily saw when she was initially
1:10searching for the truth of the purpose
1:12of the cookies creation, but that piece
1:15of information can wait, of course. It's
1:17important to take note that not all
1:19witches have this intent to eat cookies,
1:21[music] as there are a few who make
1:23powerful cookies for the purpose of
1:25protecting themselves, others, or
1:27general peace. An example of this would
1:29be the witches who created the five
1:31beasts and imbued them with the pristine
1:33virtues to lead Earthbread. Another
1:35example would be the witch that Black
1:37Forest [music] Cookie fervently
1:38worships, which she calls them. Of
1:41course, you're probably most familiar
1:43with the witch you'd see in the gacha
1:44animation. According to the wiki, she is
1:47responsible for the creation of a
1:48majority of the playable cookies in game
1:51and the only known witch to still exist
1:53in canon as they [music] vanished a long
1:55time ago.
2:01To put it simply, Earth Red is a planet.
2:04Its main known land mass, which is
2:06shaped like a gingerbread man, is called
2:08the Cookie Kingdom. Just to clarify, the
2:10[music] player's own kingdom is also
2:12called the Cookie Kingdom. But that's
2:14not what I'm talking about. As your
2:16kingdom is alternatively called the
2:18Brave Kingdom, which of course is named
2:20after Ginger Brave, you can think of the
2:22Cookie Kingdom as the collective land
2:24masses were in all known history and
2:26places currently exist in game. Though
2:28people interchangeably call the Cookie
2:30Kingdom land mass as Earthbread, other
2:32unlabeled lands outside this big major
2:35landmass are implied to exist. There are
2:38five continents on the known Earthbread
2:40which for the sake of this section I
2:42will call Cookie Kingdom for accuracy.
2:44The first continent is [music] Crispia
2:46and you might be more familiar with this
2:48as this is where the first 18 episodes
2:51of the game story mode take place
2:52[music] to be exact. The following
2:54locations can be found here. The Holly
2:57Berry Kingdom, Dark Cow Kingdom, Golden
2:59Cheese Kingdom, Dragon's Valley, City of
3:01Wizards, Tower [music] of Frozen Waves,
3:04Dessert Paradise, Giant Icing Ridge,
3:06Cream Cake Mountains, Wish Tree, Milky
3:09Way Lake, Jelly Swamp, and the Durian
3:11Island. The second continent is the
3:13Candy Stick Archipelago, home to the
3:15Vanilla Kingdom, Creme Republic, Secret
3:17Fig Forest, Green Salad Jungle, Coconut
3:20Forest, Salty Drop Island, Sour Dressing
3:23River, Sparkling Volcano, and Tropical
3:25Soda Islands. This archipelago is mostly
3:28surrounded by water, which would explain
3:30why both the prosperous [music] Creme
3:32Republic and the beachy tropical soda
3:34islands are located here. The third
3:36continent is Holgrania, and there's not
3:39much information about this continent.
3:40According to the wiki, Wulgrania houses
3:43Parfadia, which is the home to the
3:44parfadia institute and where cream puff,
3:47espresso, latte, almond, and prune juice
3:50cookie are known to be citizens of. It
3:52is interesting to note that the
3:54following locations are under this
3:55continent. Bloody Jam Mountains, Death
3:58Swamp, Judgment Ravine, Lake of Truth,
4:00Black Luna Sea, and the Sugar-free Road.
4:03More on the last one later. The fourth
4:05continent is Sugarberg and it is only
4:07composed of two locations of which we do
4:09not have any information at all. Rainbow
4:12Horn and Crystal Sorbet Island. The
4:14fifth and last known continent is Beast
4:17East. And you're probably also familiar
4:19with this as this is where the majority
4:21of the Shadow Milk propaganda
4:23originated.
4:23>> [music]
4:24>> Yes, this is where the fairy kingdom is
4:26and also the location of the spire of
4:28deceit and truth or the blue tower, the
4:31forgotten sugar paradise, formerly known
4:33as sugar paradise, flower peak of
4:35transcendence or the flower mountains,
4:37great destroyer's tomb or the spice
4:40ridge, the land of silence or the black
4:42salt flatland and the island of life.
4:44And if you feel like this is too much
4:46information right now, don't worry.
4:48We'll discuss the relevant kingdoms and
4:50locations later on one by one. So, don't
4:53force [music] yourself to memorize all
4:54of them in one go.
4:58[music]
5:01Soul jams are, to put it [music] simply,
5:03mythical items. There are five of these
5:06shining jewels made by the witches upon
5:08the creation of Earthbread, and they
5:10have an affinity for cookies with strong
5:12ideals fit to lead cookie kind. Before
5:15we proceed, I need to clarify something
5:17first. The word souljam is the
5:19generalized umbrella term for these
5:21objects. But the actual term for the
5:24individual soul jams themselves are the
5:26light of truth, the light of freedom,
5:28the light of resolution, the light of
5:30passion, and the light of abundance.
5:32Now, you're probably wondering about the
5:34current owners of these mythical
5:35objects. Well, they are held by a
5:37[music] class of cookies dubbed as the
5:39ancients. Specifically, the following
5:42soul jams are held by the following
5:43ancients. The light of truth held by
5:45pure vanilla cookie. The light of
5:47freedom held by a white lily cookie. The
5:49light of resolution held by darker cacao
5:51cookie. The light of passion held by
5:53Holly Berry cookie. And the light of
5:55abundance held by golden cheese cookie.
5:58[music] It is important to note however
5:59that these five ancients are not the
6:01original owners of the soul jams. They
6:04were first acquired by the five beasts
6:06initially called the five virtues before
6:09they became corrupted. You can think of
6:10the current soul jams available in game
6:12as a second generation of soul jams as
6:15their originals had completely different
6:17values imbued in them. The original
6:19first generation soul jams [music] were
6:21imbued with five distinct virtues.
6:24Knowledge, happiness, valition, change,
6:27and solidarity. They were created by the
6:29primordial witches and were made with
6:31the purest [music] substance of them
6:33all, the life powder. Then the witches
6:36gave the five righteous [music] cookies
6:37who are now the beasts. These five
6:39original soul jams. However, the raw
6:42power corrupted them. The salt of
6:44solidarity, the last to fall amongst the
6:46five, sealed away the beasts along with
6:49himself with the help of elder fairy
6:50cookie in the beast yeast's silver tree.
6:53As a result, [music] the original soul
6:55jams got split into half, scattered
6:57itself among the cookie kingdom, and got
6:59locked behind various trials. The
7:01ancients who currently possess them now
7:03were [music] once ordinary cookies who
7:05simply surpassed these trials through
7:07their ideals. Therefore, blessing them
7:09with immense power and the agelessness
7:12to lead [music] cookies. The other
7:13corrupted half, for those of you who are
7:15wondering, are what the current beast
7:17cookies possess. The original virtues,
7:19now corrupted jams, became deceit,
7:22sloth, apathy, destruction, [music] and
7:25silence. Soul jams are also sentient as
7:28they possess something called [music]
7:29its voice. This voice often speaks
7:31directly to the soul jams owner during
7:33times of turmoil. It is possible for an
7:36ancient cookie to lose ownership of the
7:38soul jam when they lose their quote
7:40unquote worthiness to wield [music] it
7:42as shown during several instances in the
7:44beast episodes. However, a showcase of
7:47great willpower and desire ws back the
7:49soul jam and consequentially lets the
7:52ancient [music] undergo a process called
7:53their awakening which gives them greater
7:55power and control over the soul jam.
7:59[music]
8:03For this section and the beasts as well,
8:05I will only give the most important
8:07information that you will need in order
8:09to understand a majority of the lore.
8:12For a more in-depth analysis of each
8:14character, I will make separate videos
8:15for each of them. So, subscribe if you
8:18want to see all of that. Pure Vanilla
8:19was the founder and king of the vanilla
8:21kingdom. He is an extremely powerful
8:23wielder of magic who uses it to heal
8:26others. During Pure Vanilla's younger
8:28days, he used to attend the Blueberry
8:30Yogurt Academy alongside White Lily.
8:32Although exceedingly gifted with magic,
8:34he would skip his classes just to join
8:36Wet Lily with her experiments as he
8:39finds his classes boring without her. He
8:41snuck out of the library, a forbidden
8:43book that only professors are allowed to
8:45read to aid their experiments. However,
8:47he had to depart from White Lily's
8:49experimentation as her continued
8:51interest in pursuing [music] the perfect
8:53cookies were becoming more and more
8:55unethical. It's important to note that
8:57Pure Vanilla underwent an arduous
8:58pilgrimage in the 12 trials of
9:00sugar-free road. Upon accomplishing this
9:03grueling pilgrimage, he gains the light
9:04of truth and eventually founded the
9:06Vanilla Kingdom. The Vanilla Kingdom is
9:08home to Earthbread's greatest
9:10institution for the pursuit of both
9:12healing and white magic, of which Pure
9:14Vanilla is an acclaimed master of.
9:17Legend has it that the Sugar Swan
9:18herself has blessed this kingdom upon
9:21being founded. During the peaceful
9:22times, which is basically the era before
9:24the Darkflower War, Cure Vanilla was the
9:27king of the land and worked with other
9:29government officials like Premier
9:31Custard Cookie to oversee the affairs of
9:33the kingdom. Currently though, due to
9:35its low population and as a result of
9:37Pure Vanilla giving up the throne as he
9:39wished for his kingdom to be a home for
9:41all without a need for a king, it runs
9:43on a very unclear system of governance.
9:45However, [music] it is important to note
9:47that Pure Vanilla stands as the
9:49political leader and representative of
9:51the kingdom during formal events like
9:53the Cookie Odyssey. Their Denisens are
9:55called the Vanilians. And during the
9:57beginnings of the Dark Floor [music]
9:58War, several Venilians fled the kingdom
10:00out of fear for their lives and
10:02consequently established the Creme
10:04Republic. Now known as the Queen Mother
10:06of the Hollyberry Kingdom, Holly Berry
10:08Cookie founded the Hollyberry Kingdom
10:10and she is a cookie who values
10:12friendship above all else. She holds the
10:14light of passion and she loves drinking
10:16berry juice which is basically alcohol.
10:18She was also able to unite the berry
10:20families under one banner allowing for
10:23the creation of the Holly Berry Kingdom.
10:24[music] She eventually meets and defeats
10:27Paya Dragon Cookie in battle at [music]
10:29some point after this which is seen from
10:32her gotcha animation. Darko saw the
10:34anomalous events occurring in the frozen
10:37snowfield as black lightning and dark
10:39clouds enveloped the area. As he swore
10:41to save the cookies from this torment,
10:43dark mediates the fight between the
10:45black dragon of the north and the white
10:47dragon of the south, [music] obtains the
10:49light of resolution and establishes the
10:51darko kingdom. Golden cheese cookie
10:54establishment of her kingdom began as a
10:56treasure hunting expedition for her. as
10:58she heard of rumors of a great treasure
11:00in the ruins of a civilization. She went
11:02to find it by defeating the monsters
11:04that guarded its trials. Upon acquiring
11:07the light of abundance, she establishes
11:09the golden cheese kingdom and is crowned
11:11by the high priestess cheesebird. Now,
11:13[music] White Lily's acquisition of the
11:15light of freedom is a little tricky. As
11:17she was an exemplary student in the
11:19blueberry yogurt academy, she was
11:21skipping her classes along with pure
11:22vanilla cookie to start experimenting on
11:25how to make cookies less susceptible to
11:27crumbling apart. As she continued on
11:29with the experiments, however, this
11:30brought ruin upon the faculty and the
11:33entirety of the academy. She seals the
11:35chaos left in the Blueberry Academy and
11:37basically cleans up her [music] mess.
11:39However, she is always haunted by the
11:41nightmares of what she did. Desperate to
11:43find answers, she prays to the witches
11:45and asks as to why cookies are made so
11:48small and fragile. Then the light of
11:51freedom descends to her grasp and grants
11:53her with enough power to seek the truth.
11:55She then departs to be east [music] and
11:57helps Silverbell Cookie who then grants
11:59her access to the fairy kingdom. The
12:01five beasts who were currently sealed in
12:03the silver tree at that time was
12:05starting to see through by splitting a
12:07crack in the tree to which White Lily
12:09seals with vines. As she is venerated as
12:12a hero, she stays in the fairy kingdom
12:14for 6 months or so. Before she stumbles
12:16upon the fabled night of the witches
12:18[music] in the fairy library, despite
12:20Elder Fairy begging her not to go, White
12:23Lily has made up her mind and left for
12:25the night of the witches. As she arrives
12:27at the banquet, she discovers the truth
12:29as to why [music] cookies are made. They
12:31are made to be eaten by the witches.
12:33Upon finding out this dark truth, she
12:35falls to the ultimate dough and gets
12:37rebaked into dark [music] enchantress
12:39cookie. You can think of dark
12:40enchantress cookie as white lily's alter
12:42ego or other self. The version of her
12:45who refuses to be eaten by the witches
12:47and who refuses the fate pre-ordained
12:49for all cookies. As a result, dark
12:52enchantress terrorizes the land in order
12:54to disrupt the will of nature.
12:59[music]
13:01Mystic flower was once the saintly
13:03virtue of valition as she used to answer
13:06the wishes of countless cookies of the
13:08past. She was beloved and looked up to
13:10by her followers. As time passed,
13:12however, several cookies of greed abused
13:15her kindness and the disinterest from
13:17her followers grew, which resulted in
13:19her turning to the doctrine of apathy,
13:21believing everything in the world is
13:23futile. Burning Spice was once a great
13:26leader known as the herald of change. He
13:28used to stand as the enduring and
13:30steadfast virtue of change. Yet, as he
13:32saw countless civilizations rise and
13:35fall, his distaste for this cyclicality
13:37has led him to pursue the destruction of
13:40all civilizations. Now, he is known as
13:42the destroyer of all things. He who used
13:45to be the fountain of knowledge, Shadow
13:47Milk held the virtue of knowledge and
13:48taught the wisdom of magic to the
13:50cookies of the land. Yet, as time passed
13:53by, he was inevitably consumed by deceit
13:55and now resides in Beast East, spreading
13:58lies all throughout Earthbred. Eternal
14:00Sugar was once the sugar of happiness,
14:02granting delights to Kikis and saving
14:05them when necessary. As she saw the
14:07never-ending cycle of pain and
14:08crumbling, however, she had decided to
14:11construct the garden of delights, an
14:12[music] endless desert paradise filled
14:14with hedonism and blissful ignorance,
14:17wherein one can never truly leave once
14:19they have stepped foot inside of it.
14:22Silent Salt was the salt of solidarity.
14:24Unlike the other virtues who governed or
14:26ruled over cookies, he alone stood as
14:29their equal as part of his oath to
14:31solidarity, establishing the Kalanamak
14:34Knights. However, as the other virtues
14:36became [music] corrupted and turned into
14:38beasts, they all banned together to
14:40destroy the Kalanamak Knights. After a
14:42visit from the fairy kingdom, the salt
14:44of solidarity discovers the complete
14:46slaughter of his army and his kingdom.
14:48And as he was consumed by despair,
14:51proceeded to crumble everything around
14:53him, which corrupted even him in the
14:55process. As a final act of salvation,
14:58Silent Salt and Elder Fairy sealed the
15:00beasts together, including Silent Salt
15:02himself through the usage of a silver
15:04sapling and the witch's magic as an act
15:07of revenge for what the other beasts did
15:09to his army. Now he is called the devil
15:12of silence.
15:14[music]
15:18The dark floor war was started by Dark
15:20Enchantress Cookie and it marked the
15:23period for the end of the peaceful reign
15:25of the ancient cookies. If you will
15:27recall, the starting cutscene of the
15:29game included Pure Vanilla Cookie and
15:31the four other ancients banding together
15:33to vanquish Dark Enchantress Cookie.
15:36That was directly the climax of the war
15:38itself as it led pure vanilla to seal
15:40dark enchantress cookie in moonstone.
15:43Though as a result leaked out a visage
15:45of white lily to roam around the lands
15:47in search of herself as the soul jams
15:49exploded due to the immense amount of
15:51power concentrated by pure vanilla just
15:54to seal dark enchantress. The remaining
15:56civilizations declined [music] and the
15:58kingdoms governed by the ancients were
16:00brought to ruin. The aftermath of the
16:02war was brutal as some of the ancients
16:04lost their memories whilst a majority
16:06lost their kingdoms or suffered heavy
16:08losses. The vanilla kingdom was left
16:10empty and inhabited only by automatons
16:13and a young strawberry crep cookie left
16:15behind in a cryobaking pot. With pure
16:17vanilla's memories vanishing as a
16:19consequence of stealing away dark
16:21enchantress cookie, he adopted the
16:23identity of a healer cookie who resided
16:25in an abandoned village serving as their
16:27lone healer. The Holly Berry Kingdom,
16:29though not thoroughly destroyed, was
16:31abandoned by Holly Berry Cookie. As she
16:34felt she was not worthy of neither her
16:36great shield nor her kingdom due to her
16:38failure to defend those dearest to her,
16:40she left her son, Royal Berry Cookie,
16:42and his wife, Jungle Berry Cookie, to
16:44govern it in her absence. Although this
16:47would not last long as Paya Dragon
16:49Cookie would soon occupy the throne. She
16:51then traveled the lands as [music] a
16:53nameless hunter as she spent her days
16:55defeating beasts and hoping the rest of
16:57the world forgets her legacy. Darko, on
17:00the other hand, went into a frenzy of
17:02shielding his kingdom from outside
17:04forces through the fortification of its
17:06walls and the heightening of its
17:08defenses. However, this led to Dark Ao
17:11burrowing himself deeper into the
17:13cradles of his black citadel until his
17:16subjects were no longer allowed to seek
17:18an audience with him. As a result of
17:20these extreme isolation, the small
17:22villages outside the kingdom were
17:24overrun by beasts and the citizens who
17:26begged for help from their king were
17:28only met with closed gates. Receiving
17:30the worst aftermath out of all of the
17:32kingdoms, Golden Cheese's kingdom was
17:35absolutely wiped out. [music] And I mean
17:38literally nothing but ashes remained.
17:41This led Golden Cheese to recreate her
17:43glorious kingdom in the virtual world
17:45where she could spend her days with her
17:47subjects without having to face the
17:49reality that they are long gone.
17:53[music]
17:56Wizards are the counterparts of the
17:58witches. Yet unlike them, they do not
18:00have any desire to create cookies for
18:02the sake of consumption. Instead, they
18:04have a deep fascination for astronomy
18:07and the study of other celestial objects
18:09such as the moon. They're also precise
18:12and desire perfection when creating
18:14cookies, as they usually create them
18:16with the intention of turning them into
18:18helpers to speed up their research. As
18:20of now, only four cookies are known to
18:22be baked by the wizards themselves.
18:24Stardust Cookie, whose dough was an
18:26imperfect predecessor to Moonlights and
18:28thus thrown away to the cosmos.
18:30Moonlight Cookie deemed to be the
18:31perfect dough imbued with the power of
18:33both the stars and the moon. Blueberry
18:35pie cookie, the keeper of the archives
18:37in the city of wizards and sugar glass
18:39cookie. For context, [music] the city of
18:41wizards was the home of the wizards and
18:43where they conducted their astronomical
18:45studies. It is said that its
18:47construction was derived from countless
18:49mathematical equations that would
18:51optimize its location based on the
18:54astronomical phenomena that the wizards
18:56desired to study.
18:59>> [music]
19:02>> Though it is hard to fully define what
19:04this so-called nature is, Frost Queen
19:07Cookie describes it as a force which
19:09weaves the world and basically has the
19:11rules that reality must follow in order
19:14for it to not collapse. The force of
19:16nature's ultimate goal is balance
19:18amongst everything, which then resulted
19:21into a so-called cyclical flux of how
19:23things work. This includes the cycle of
19:25life and life energy. It is important to
19:28note, however, that an opposing force to
19:30nature exists where its own principles
19:33can be twisted for one's own gain. This
19:35would therefore be called darkness, a
19:37manifestation of everything that opposes
19:40the will of the land. This is most
19:42prevalently used by dark enchantress
19:44Cookie as she uses black magic, which is
19:46basically the manipulation of the
19:48principles of nature and extracting
19:50magical abilities from it. Now the cycle
19:53of life is basically the reincarnation
19:55cycle in Cookie Run Kingdom as an
19:58underlying principle of nature that
19:59describes the baking crumbling and being
20:02rebaked again. It must not and cannot be
20:05broken for the sake of Earthbread
20:06[music] and the entire universe. Life
20:08energy is described as the purest
20:11essence of all things which keeps
20:13everything on Earthbread and the entire
20:15universe going. It is a life flow that
20:17sustains existence and is seemingly
20:20dictated by the great sugar swan. Life
20:22powder on the other hand is a source of
20:25life energy that brings dessert
20:27creatures to life. It flows through the
20:28natural elements like the rain and the
20:31continued cycle of this is upheld by the
20:33elemental cookies collectively known as
20:35the guardians of nature.
20:38[music]
20:42These seven elemental guardians uphold
20:45the will of [music] nature and are
20:46granted great power and knowledge by
20:49this unifying force. According to the
20:50wiki, they're one with the world itself
20:52as they hold the cycle of life and their
20:54very grasps. The seven guardians
20:57comprise of the following: Moonlight
20:58Cookie, the guardian of dreams. Seafarey
21:01Cookie, the almighty sea, wind archer,
21:03the wind that vanquishes the darkness,
21:05frost queen, the sovereign of winter,
21:08millennial tree, the overseer of all
21:10life and time, our spirit cookie, the
21:12embodiment of flame, and stormbringer,
21:14the ruler of the skies and [music]
21:16lightning. It is important to note that
21:18Seafury Cookie has long given up her
21:20role as a guardian. Yet, she is still
21:22connected to the flow of life and
21:24acknowledged by her fellow elemental
21:26cookies. Now, this isn't that relevant,
21:29I suppose, but there exists spirits who
21:31act as messengers or servants of these
21:34affforementioned guardians. The only
21:36playable one as of now is Sherbet
21:38Cookie, the messenger of Snowfall, and
21:40obviously under Frost [music] Queen's
21:42domain. The other ones that we do know
21:44in game are wind deity cookie whose wind
21:47gathers life powder and rises it to the
21:49skies in preparation to return it to
21:51earth. Cloud deity cookie whose clouds
21:53are created from the life powder which
21:55drifts up from the earth to the skies
21:57and rain deity cookie whose rain returns
22:00life powder to the earth after it has
22:02risen to the skies. They are the three
22:04godly deputies of Stormbringer Cookie
22:07and as you have probably noticed have
22:09roles that mimic the rain cycle greatly.
22:12>> [music]
22:16>> The ultimate cookie is a product of Dark
22:19Enchantress' research as she searches
22:21for the ultimate recipe to create the
22:24ultimate evil for her plants. Apologies
22:26for using the same word thrice in a row.
22:29I know my English professor is probably
22:31rolling in anguish right now. Sorry,
22:33ma'am. What's interesting with the
22:34creation of this creature, however, was
22:36that it was basically a segue of Dark
22:39Enchantress Cookie as she promises the
22:41beasts with renewed and recreated
22:44bodies. This is also why the beasts are
22:46willing to cooperate with Dark
22:48Enchantress while she was slowly
22:50fulfilling this part of their agreement.
22:52She redirected some of her kidnapped
22:54researchers to the study of bringing
22:56soulless cookies to life and channeling
22:58their life energy to this single being.
23:01It is a byproduct of a dough having been
23:03fed with massive quantities of life
23:05energy, which as you probably know by
23:08now is a big no no by nature's playbook.
23:10Due to its creation, several anomalies
23:12have sprung about in Earth Bread, and
23:15Millennial Tree Cookie notes that its
23:17creation would only bring forth ruin if
23:19born successfully. It resides in the
23:22dingy laboratorium and is bound to
23:24consume the life energy being fed to it,
23:26a process which Wind Archer notices is
23:29causing its suffering. The ultimate
23:31cookie has been in despair as it is
23:33crying in pain and in anguish which led
23:36to Win Archer attempting to heal the
23:38ultimate cookie pain even if just for a
23:40brief moment. [music] When Win Archer
23:42escaped, however, it returned to the
23:45despair and to consuming the life
23:47energy. [music]
23:53The Creme Republic was established by
23:55the fleeing denisens of the Vanilla
23:57Kingdom during the Darkflower War. As
23:59they escaped via airship, they
24:01discovered a small seaside village of
24:03seafaring cookies and together they
24:06established the creme republic. It is
24:08important to note that the republic is
24:10divided into two cities. The upper city
24:12occupied by the vanilian descendants and
24:15the lower city occupied by the original
24:17seafaring cookies. There's actually
24:19tension between the two as the citizens
24:21of the lower city do not wish to
24:23associate with the upper city's culture
24:25and see them as tyrannical invaders who
24:28took [music] their rightful territory
24:29when they established the creme republic
24:32all those years ago. Now the creme
24:34republic was led by the nine elders and
24:36their console. [music] These elders hold
24:38significant spheres of influence over
24:40several facets of the republic and are
24:43aristocratic in nature. Plotted Cream
24:45Cookie is the appointed young console of
24:47the elders who lead the Republic through
24:49unifying their decisions. He's basically
24:51the leader of the Republic, though final
24:54decisions still have to go through the
24:55elders approval first. Oyster Cookie,
24:58head of House Oyster, and whose sphere
24:59[music] of influence specializes in
25:01maritime trade, and knows a great deal
25:03of information brokerage, which is
25:05basically scraping off personal or
25:07special pieces of information for either
25:09commercial purposes or personal gain.
25:12Captain Caviar Cookie is the head of the
25:14house caviar and the only representative
25:16of the Choco Mud Town, which is a town
25:18that is part of the lower city. His
25:20house specializes in fighting [music]
25:22with pirates and he is seen as a hero in
25:25the eyes of the Republic. Custard
25:26Cookie, head of House Custard, and whose
25:28sphere of influence is over the politics
25:31of the Republic. Now, this guy, he's
25:33annoying. He's selfish, and he literally
25:35sees everyone as either pawns or
25:38obstacles to satiate his desire for
25:40gaining more power in the Republic. It's
25:42important to note that he has a direct
25:44lineage to one of Pure Vanilla's trusted
25:47counselors, Premier Custard Cookie, as
25:49he is his brother. Vanilla Sugar Cookie
25:52is the head of House Vanilla Sugar, and
25:54whose sphere of influence specializes in
25:56the education and training of the
25:58Republic's paladins. For those of you
26:00who may not know, paladins are bound by
26:02strict holy laws and their knights. So
26:05basically, they fight for the holy glory
26:07of whichever religion they are fighting
26:09for, which in this case is the divines.
26:11Mold juice cookie, head of house mold
26:13juice, whose sphere of influence
26:15specializes in mechanical engineering
26:17and transportation. Bum Kushin Cookie is
26:20the head of house bum kitchen and whose
26:22sphere of influence prioritizes medicine
26:25and the well-being of cookies in the
26:26republic. Sable or Sabé, I don't know,
26:29but Sable Cookie is the head of House
26:31Sable and a generous patron of the arts.
26:34You can think of their sphere of
26:35influence as specializing in the
26:37prosperity of the humanities. Mil Foil
26:39Cookie, [music] head of House Mil Foil,
26:41is the house responsible for building
26:43the cathedrals all around the Republic.
26:46She is however an undercover sister of
26:48the St. Patri order and got kicked out
26:50of the Convocation of Elders of the
26:52Republic due to her associations with
26:54the order. She's presumed dead as she
26:56got absorbed by the holy avatar during
26:58the events of the premonition of doom.
27:01Canel cookie head of house can the house
27:03responsible for auditing, managing and
27:06monitoring both the export and import in
27:09the republic. She is also responsible
27:10[music] for managing the coffers of the
27:13republic. Although she is currently on
27:14trial and her status as an elder put to
27:17hold due to her embezzlement and
27:19distribution of unsanctioned goods. She
27:22also wanted to steal the soul gems and
27:24got exposed for it. [music]
27:30To put it simply, the Saint Pastry Order
27:33is a cult which believes in the idea of
27:35sacrificial death. Founded by the high
27:37forkbearer Doel Cookie, they worship the
27:40first witches of the first oven who
27:42created the first cookies. They use
27:44violence to silence others and
27:46indoctrinate the needy, feeble, and
27:48young cookies to join the order under
27:50the guise of warmth and acceptance.
27:53Currently, this order no longer exists
27:55due to the events of the premonition of
27:58doom. Basically, Doyle once vanished as
28:00they encountered the incomplete avatar
28:02of destiny, an amalgamation of several
28:05cookie souls that it has consumed
28:07through a rift in the sky. Upon seeing
28:09this heavenly creature, Doyle returns
28:11after a while and gains power over the
28:14order, offering themsel up to the holy
28:16avatar upon hearing the call. Milfoil
28:18Cookie also heard this and as they both
28:21answer the call, they both get absorbed
28:23by the holy avatar, presumably killed.
28:25Currently, the Saint Priest order is
28:28already defunct. Now that you know the
28:30fundamentals of the Kiran Kingdom lore,
28:32I hope you'll have fun theorizing and
28:35exploring other facets of the story. Do
28:37note that this video does not encompass
28:40all aspects of the lore as that's going
28:42to be a really long video if that was
28:44the case and the finer details will be
28:46discussed in future videos. Oh well, I
28:48hope you had fun. Happy holidays to
28:50everyone. Toodaloo.
