master list of all the stuff related to THE ancient kingdom (yknow, the one with the crown?) for all of my Gingergang theory goats along with some mini theories/observations
The Crown: Seems to have gems eerily simular to the ancients' soul jams on it, with the gem that canonically represents them all on the front, this has some...interesting implications
The Sword (victory screen): Shares the same gems as the crown, might have belonged to the kingdoms long gone leader, since its implied he(?) was a knight based off of other statues scattered around.
The (base) Cookie Castle: Bears the symbol of the five ancients unified. This is interesting since they seem to not know about the kingdom (implying its older than them, old enough to not have been mentioned even when they were younger), and it doesn't have their colours. It actually has similar colours as the beasts, and even then they aren't exact matches. The symbol in the cookie castle also lacks the dot/diamond in the center that represents PVC in the normal symbol, which implies that there were four heroes, not five. It's colour scheme is also connected to GB a little, featuring his classic White and Red + chocolate from his chocolate drop, which is connected to him, even being placed on a line right next to his cane in a decor.
The Goddess of Victory/Arena Statue: As someone else has pointed out (@strawbrave you clever bastard) the GoV could possibly represent Strawberry reaching out a hand to lift GB out of the darkness, or him returning this favor from so long ago, I mean she is literally described reaching out a hand to a Brave Cookie. She also bears the unified ancients symbol, so she could of been one of the rulers of the kingdom.
The Bear Jelly Lion/Dragon: Has two forms, both of which appear on the map of Crispia. Also has the infamous statue depicting him shielding/cuddling with a knight/warrior, which could be the same knight that ruled the kingdom (apparently with/alongside the GoV), and could of possibly been alongside him as well. Also depicted in the games logo, Devsis you're not slick atp we ALL know it has relevance✌
Bear Jellies/Angels as a Whole: Both dessert species have a major representative that have A SHIT TON more lore relevance that meets the eye, as well additional symbolism almost everywhere, yet don't seem to be in contact with any of the major kingdoms, in fact they've seem to have been reduced to quite..few (Bear Jelly Village, The Conductor, Angel Cookie and Devil Cookie). Considering the kingdom, which most likely made them so prominent, was collapsed, leaving only a small village of sugar gnomes, sword, the statue, and the crown behind, they could of gotten wiped in a war that led to said collapse, or just spread out and dipped.
The Various Knight Imagery: The knight(s) in the arena, the knight statue in cookie alliance, the knight the BJL/D is cradling/holding, The Excavated Knight, the seemingly irrelevant veiled statue welding a sword (watch that shit be a lie like the witch sealing the beasts), the statue in early crispia holding a suspiciously strawberry jam sword shaped sword (devsis you describe it looking like GB what does that mean devsis), probably the bear jelly knight in black armor, etc. What I find intriguing though is how none if them are depicted with the sword THE knight owned, but considering how devsis is now capable of lying to us its probably them trying to prevent people from connecting the dots.
The Map of Crispia: As another smart individual outlined, the suspiciously GB looking cookie is cracked, falling apart, seems to be crying (with a smile?), has a candy cane to its left, and a crown. The BJL/D's two forms are on the too, alongside the unified ancients symbol and two crossed candy canes, one plain, one striped like GingerBrave's, with GingerBrave's candy cane going from left to right. The implications are kind of concerning, mainly because GB himself...is right handed. This in particular could be a nothing burger icl but something about it makes me uneasy because like everything else in this list its implying SOMETHING, but unlike the rest you don't WHAT it's implying. There's no actual context for this specific detail right now, but you can almost tell its intentional, and this kind of scares me. Devsis what does it mean.
The Brave Cookie from the Tale of the First Kitchen: Kind of self explanatory, its kind of implied that the ancient kingdom may of been ruled by escapees of the bad witches.
The symbolism of the three in general: Off of the top of my head right now, there's the sword from the kingdom and GingerBrave's cane right next to each other in the ui of my cookies Adventure, the UI for bonds featuring the trio, the arena also features statues of a wizard that looks EXACTLY like wizard, down to the candy which is unique to him as we see all the other magic users have gemstones in their weapons, The cookie castle has their colours (blue, pink, and I guess gold), etc.
The Six Star Gem: This is probably another nothing burger but am I the only one who realized that the six star crystal thing on the elite banner and in Creampuff's wand looks eerily similar to the six point star we see in the ultimate cookie's concept art? The arena is obviously connected to the kingdom via its literal symbol, the GoV, and the ultimate cookie is the ultimate cookie.
Wizard Cookie's Tower of Records: Someone must of built it before it was rebuilt, and it can't be the Maestro/Master Gnome since has his own lab.
