Ypari (Revolutionaries)

This page contains so much stuff that is no longer cannon but I'm not going to delete everything just yet.

The Ypari Revolutionaries, more commonly know as the Young Bettians' Army or the Young Bettian Freedom Alliance, was an army and government established to defeat the Romanic invaders and create a sovereign Bettian homeland.

Origin of Name

The honor of naming the organization was placed on Bettian revolutionary, Tyb Syg Man, also known as Tyber Sigmond. Tyber was a well educated Bettian who came from a tall, upper-class family. Some Ypari did not trust him because of his past; however, Tyber tried to prove his devotion to the cause. Because of his good education, Tyber was well versed in Ancient Bettian Rhetoric. One particular poem that struck him as perfect for the cause was an ancient tale of two fueding brothers called "Gymon Gyszyr". Gymon Gyszer contained a famous line that many Bettian revolutuonaries would quote:

"From thee, I am independent. I need not thou strength, for I am capable, for I am strong."

''"Pyr-sy: midyg gan Lyr. Ag-nys Lyr, og, prygmag yr-Pyr.. to-Basyr gan Myr. to-Pryg gan Myr." (This is no longer cannon)''

("Thee-Origin: independence (is) had (by) I. Un-Need I, (untranslatable preposition), strongness of-Thou.. (untranslatable)-Capability (is) had (by) I. (untranslatable)-Strong (is) had (by) I."

Under the rule of many Romanic Governors, reading of Bettian literature was discouraged, especially to those of the shorter and poorer class. To get around this, the revolutionaries shortened this quote to three short words: "Ya Par Yi", "We (all) Own (the) Ability". The younger revolutionaries turned this three word phrase into a slang word, "Ypari", which could be scrawled onto wood and paper in only two simple characters (Ypa-Ri). The revolutionaries began to call themselves this slang word because it symbolized how they had the ability to bring change to the island.

"Founding Fathers" of a Sovereign Bett's Island

Besides Tyber Sigmond, there were several other key leaders in the fight for Bettian independence. Many of these Founding Fathers adopted Eurik names to show their appreciation for the democracy many Eurik kingdoms had. These men also would add "mond" or "-ond" to their last names to show their Bettian heritage. In Bettian, "Mon" means "Islander". They were:

Gyr Mas Tyn / George Mastin / George Mastimond - Head General of the Ypari Army

Syf Fyg / Samuel Figermond - Head of Ypari Mint

Tym Syg Myh / Tim (Thomas) Salgmy - Drafted the Declaration of Intent

FyGyr Thym / Frederick Thymond - Drafted the New Bettian Government Decree, the draft for a new Bettian government

Cy AgYr / Cy Agmond - Head of the Ypari Navy

Hys HysRyn / Harold Hysrond - Ypari Diplomat to other kingdoms

Des Syh / Descéne di Syh - Ypari spy in the Romanic Kingdoms
