Ytytschooryn Tschaabdüsche (born i-ti-chó-rin-chæb-dy-she-ty-sho-god Ytytschooryn Tschaabdüsche Tuschogod) was the King of Tschintiessteiss and X of the Gintem up to and during the Copper War. He was the first Emperor of all Gintems, a title created for the united Gintem Empire that formed to combat Dhimrai in the Copper War. Tschaabdüsche's reign was tumultuous in his later years, marred by his frequent delusions and hallucinations caused by an unknown illness. His worsened condition was kept a secret by the broader Tschintierst government, as well as his death in 4605 in the middle of the Copper War. He was succeeded by his son Ytytschooryn Wechtachz in secret, and news of Tschaabdüsche's condition and death we're only revealed after the end of the war.
Early life
Marriage scandal
In 4538, after his 25th birthday, Tschaabdüsche did not marry a woman as was tradition, instead marrying a Wråschåns, Wütüsz Artü. This was extremely controversial for someone with noble lineage, especially a member of the royal family. This controversy drew both ire and admiration from nobility and the general public. Tschaabdüsche gained some amount of acceptance from this decision, due to not being first in line to inherit the throne at the time, however he was still denounced for not marrying someone who could produce a proper heir. His critics mostly focused on the fact that Artü was assigned male at birth and thus could not produce children for the royal family, making Tschaabdüsche a weak link compared to his brothers. At the same time, many viewed Tschaabdüsche as maintaining Tschintierst traditions. Drawing from the events of the Great Gintem War, a wave of anti-Kunwidya Tschintierst nationalism began to rise in the early 46th century. Those who held these beliefs viewed Tschaabdüsche as a paragon of Tschintierst tradition, believing that since ancient times, strong and virile Tschintierst men would often take up 3rd gender spouses or lovers.
Succession
Tschaabdüsche would ascend to the throne after the sudden and unexpected deaths of his older brother and father in 4551 CY. Controversy would immediately resurface regarding his 3rd gender spouse, leading the nobility to call for possibly annulling his succession. This would lead Tschaabdüsche to finally cave to demands in order to save his succession, officially dissolving his marriage with Artü in 45XX. He would then marry X, the daughter of a prestigious family in Küüztschüüsches. Though their marriage had officially ended, Artü and Tschaabdüsche would still see each other very frequently, much to his new wife’s chagrin.
Early reign
Copper War
Mental condition and insanity
From the age of X Tschaabdüsche began to experience worsening auditory and visual hallucinations that would severely impede his capabilities as king. His mental health was kept a secret to the general public and appearances outside of the palace became less frequent as he grew older. Doctors were unable to find any direct cause of his condition, and any treatments they could find had limited effects on the increasingly disturbed king. Tschaabdüsche was prone to violent outbursts and would harm either himself or those around him. The most well known incident is when he carved out his left eye and caused severe damage to his face, requiring corrective surgery and for him to use a glass eye for the rest of his life. He claimed that he was ordered by the gods to expel the mortal corruption of his eye so that he may see the realm of the gods, and had to be stopped on several other occasions from blinding himself fully.
Death
Following his death in 4605, the nobility of TSC as well as all of Tschaabdüsche's immediate heirs were unsure as to the course of action. All three of Tschaabdüsche's eldest sons, X, X, and X, refused to take up the succession during the war, and refused to deal with the morale blow that would follow the announcement of their father's death. The political gridlock was only ended following Ytytschooryn Wechtachz's decision to take up succession and keep his father's death a secret from the public. All of Tschaabdüsche's other children would then take up positions as rulers of various other Gintem states. Tschaabdüsche's death was announced to the public in 4607, following the end of the war, to large amounts of public outcry. Following the war, the former King's deteriorating mental condition was also made public knowledge, to much controversy.
