Ýbašý-Ýïr

Ýbašý-Ýïr, or Ipiasir, was one of the 32 tribes, or Ýïr, that fought in the Khólteðian Wars, and one of eight tribes of the Arðor-Tal. It occupied a small parcel of land near the southwestern coast of the Tayzem Region, and has achieved lasting fame for having been formed from the brotherhood of three prominent warlords in the Fýr-Hŋýtor: Šófëð, Kóvað, and Ðúrýlór. These three would lead the Ýbašýans through the Ýïrúl War, where, sandwiched between all the other combattants, the tribe would experience severe damage.

History

Background: Rise of the Fýr-Hŋýtor

The tribe of Ýbašý-Ýïr, as with all other Ýïr, has its roots back to when the Khólteð Family was still in the Ïlýrhonid Tribe. The parent group of the Arðor-Tal was the Fýr-Hŋýtor; this subsection of the Family came about due to the actions of Öhr-Fëkahr around 25100 AYM, where he committed Ýyorhïsïb with members of other Families. This was a direct violation of the laws of the Ïlýrhonid Tribe, and upon their discovery in 25080 AYM, these illegitimate descendents were labeled as the Fýr-Hŋýtor, a name roughly translating to the Corrupted, and sequestered in the two areas known as the Krëšŋ-Ðórr and Khëlër-Ðórr in the far outskirts of the land.

The time period from 25100 to 25032 AYM is known as the Ýmor-Šapariž, and it represents one of the most tumultuous eras in tribal history. The Ïlýrhonid Tribe saw itself the victim of two massive waves of natural disasters and the rise of the Žötó-Žimiara, all of whom tore authority from the central tribal government and gave it to the Hyvamto-Žö-Ýšïb, or the Head of the Family. All of this commotion caused public sentiments to go awry, leading to a dramatic reduction in birth rates in all but the Fýr-Hŋýtor, who by the end of that era had risen to constitute around 7% of the familial population, rising to 10-15% by 25015 AYM.

Around that time, the figure known as Žúž-Akëð would begin to ascend to dominate the Talian scene. He campaigned not for a pacifist, diplomatic relationship with the Khólteð Family, but a militant one instead. From then until the eruption of all-out conflict in 24982 AYM, he would raise up a powerful force that rivaled the Khólteðian army in size and exceeded them in vigor. It is likely during this building up that the warlords that later created Ýbašý-Ýïr would begin their military training.

Crisis of 24982 AYM

The Crisis of 24982 AYM was the conflict between the Fýr-Hŋýtor (now conglomerated as the Arðor-Tal) and a Khólteðian Family-allied group known as the Arðor-Úŋï. It arose after the death of Týyšat, the Head of the Family and one of the chief architects behind the ostracization of the Fýr-Hŋýtor. Mere hours before his successor Šïk-hórom could ascend to the throne, the Talians raided the Ëzó-Rhažóval and kidnapped him, holding him in the Krëšŋ-Ðórr. What followed was a series of aggressive battles between the two sides, initilly concentrated at the Krëšŋ-Ðórr before spreading across all the familial land. It culminated in the Battle at the Palace, where Zümiža, the Hyvamto-Rhïlýrhonid, took notice and forcibly enacted the Ceasefire of Zïlëŋý. This Ceasefire saw the division of the Familial land into equal parts Talian and Úŋïan territories, with each being treated as half of a family. It is here that the Brotherhood of Ýbašý-Ýïr would be established between the three warlords, and their respective skirmish armies were active in the brief month-long period of chaos that followed the dissolution of the Ceasefire. This connection would continue beyond the eviction of the Family in 15 Geta-Eimarae. Historians typically estimate that the combined army of the three warlords was around 3,500 to 4,500 individuals.
