Declaration of Intent

The Declaration of Intent was a document drafted by Ypari leader Thomas Salgmy and was later worked on by Tyber Sigmond and Frans Mydyrmond. The document is a one page declaration of the intent of the Ypari. The opening lines show the strength the Ypari felt behind their cause:

"The people of the Ybet Colony are calling for a revolution against the Romanic Invaders."

It later goes on to describe the cruelty of slavery, the injustice the Bettian people faced from foreign rule, and the need for sovereignty.

"No man, woman, nor child can live a day without the constant harassment of the Romanic man. Our fathers and mothers have been stolen away to a land who need not their work. The enslavement of our people by the Romanic Invaders is cruel and unusual and must be stopped. The people of the Ybet Colony call for an end to this Invasion. Sovereignty in the only answer. Freedom cannot be acheived without sacrifice and war."

The document closes with chilling lines that the Ladosian poet, Marconi Stazzi, referred to as, "So cold that I had to wonder why my kingdom was torturing these people."

"We tell you Romanic Invaders to pack up at once. You will not win. The Ypari will fight until the last man. Our blood will shine through your fallen soldiers. Leave the Ybet Colony. Do not return. The Ypari will rise and gain the sovereignty three eras of molestation has kept out of reach."
