Glitchtale H-H book analysis: the first tragedy after the war (+geography of the human world)

Part one

Warning! Spoilers about Glitchtale/GT prequel!

PLEASE READ THIS

:disappointed_relieved: You have NO idea how much time and how many efforts I spent for making this work, so I really hope I didn't make mistakes and you'll enjoy it.

Originally this post was supposed to contain the analysis of all the chapters, but for its lenght and for my lack of time (only this part required more than 4 hours :cry: ) I decided to split it into two parts: this one will contain the adjunt about the geography of the world and the chapter 23, the next one contains chapters 26 and 29

Several weeks ago Cami posted on her tumbrl some extracts from the H-H (human history) book about the events after the war between humans and monsters. Again, like my analysis of the Betty's comics (I still cannot believe that it was featured :flushed: ) I noticed that they're rather unknown in the fandom, so I decided to make a complete analysis paragraph-to-paragraph of them. HOWEWER, the topics which I'm going to talk about are HEAVY SPOILERS about the plot of the future Glitchtale prequel, so if you want to read this, you're adviced.

Before starting, there's a topic that you need to know to fully understand what I'm going to talk about in the analysis: the geography of the human world and its social organization before the war. So, I heavily suggest to read this before starting with the analysis, if you already know it, just skip this adjunct.

Geography of the human world and its organization before the war

Some of you maybe believe that the Glitchtale's world is the same of the ours, but that's not right: in fact Cami invented a world of her immagination where she set her stories.

So, how is this world? Cami imagined it like a mega-continent (pangea-like) divided in 7 districts, populated by both monsters and humans. Before the war, two of them were mostly inhabited by monsters and ruled by Asgore and Gaster, the other 5 were mostly inhabited by humans and led by 5 human wizards: Perseverance, Kindness, Justice, Integrity and Patience. The capital was located in the center of the pangea; here the leaders of the seven kingdoms met to take the most important decisions and here there were the castles of the king of the humans and of the king of the monsters. Their palaces were connected by the meeting room as a sign of peace between the two races. The last humans' king before the war was Roy's father, while at the moment is unknown the monsters' king (maybe Asgore's father)

Now let's start with the analysis!

Chapter 23: After the war

The chapter immediately starts with one of the most enigmatic part of all the extracts: it says that Roy Goldburn (wiz. of Justice) became the new king after the war... but then what happened to the previous one, his father? Surely he wasn't killed during the war; Undertale is pretty clear: "no human souls were taken (by the monsters)", so his death took place before it. Or rather, probably his *coff* murder *coff* was exactly the cause of the war! This is just a speculation, but maybe a monster (I'll talk better about who might be them later), for unknown reasons, killed the king and the guilt was given to the whole monsterkind, or maybe to Asgore, the most representative of them. This regicide was such a serious sin for the humans, who feared the ability of the monsters of obtaining their souls, to led to war against the monsters even a peaceful kingdom like the Kindness one, and to cause the friendship breakout between the wizards and them.

Coming back to analyse the paragraph, Roy as the new king, often left the kingdom to search the monsters which weren't trapped underground despite his orders, to imprisone them for the safety of his people who, as I said before, feared them for their power of stealing the human souls.

There are two things important here:

1) Not all the monsters were sealed      underground, some of them continued to live in clandestinity on the surface, it's because of them that exists the AMD (otherwise it wouldn't have any reason)

2)Roy was the one who had ordered the monsters to reach the Mt. Ebott to be sealed. Therefore, we can assume that Roy was the one who had the idea of creating the barrier

You read that Roy often went on his monsters' hunt with the other wizards, but the people said that in reality they were searching a mysterious monster with several human souls. Who is this monster? For sure we haven't never seen it neither on Glitchtale nor Undertale, how he obtained the souls it's a mistery, but certainly they didn't obtained them during the war (I explained why before).

Now, this is just an head-canon, but maybe this monster might have killed the king of the humans aka Roy's father, blaming Asgore for what they had done, and caused the beginning of the war, without anyone discovered that it was them the murderer. Roy only after the battle discovered the truth and started to look for them, which immediately after the war had started to collect other human souls, for avenge his father.

This part is mostly explained by itself: Roy, Shane (perseverance), Rin(patience), Kody(integrity) and Mila(kindness) left for an unknown location to find and to fight this monster while Copper(determination) and Agate(bravery), the youngest wizards, remained at the castle as the rulers for the 3 days of the mission. Howewer the 5 wizard were never seen before; it's heavily implied that the monster killed even them.

After their disappearance, many guards tried to find at least their corpses, but they didin't even a trace of them. To save the humanity from the anarchy, Copper and Agate decided to became theirselves the kings, and despite their young age, proved to be excellent sovereigns
