The Cypher of John Hamervick

"Henry Hamervick walked into the building with a file in his hands. He called everyone to sit down and explained the cypher to us. Well, Lafayette was suspicious at first, but then she agreed to learn it. After all, she does love challenges. And she was the first one who managed to learn everything the cypher had to offer." Adila explained to Lucas, as he stared thoughtfully at the ceiling.

The cypher of John Hamervick is an infamous code used by the Revolution to communicate when they're not near each other. It has been used in famous events like the cargo hijack by Lafayette Samuel Deering. The cypher involves a lot of vigorous learning to memorize, and few have mastered the advanced code in their entire lives.

Creation

The cypher was created by John Hamervick just after The Dice of the Revolution was made. He decided to keep it a secret until he fully developed it. Unfortunately, he died before he could complete the cypher. His son, Henry Hamervick discovered his father's notes of the cypher one day as he was cleaning up his room and was impressed by it. He decided to finish it. He finally did after 20 years. Now he was ready, so he showed it to the group. Everyone initially disagreed to learn such a difficult language, but some people stepped forward to support him and brought the cypher into the Revolution. Ever since then only the first members have learnt everything and simplified it for the newer members so they could learn it as well. The cypher is endless, and is still not at its most simplified. But hey, it was so hard no one understood it.

Geographical Distribution

The language is common only between the members of the Revolution, and mostly the ones who have mastered it speak the language. Otherwise, it is not that varied.

Time taken to learn

Around 5 to 6 years of constant practice

Usage

It can be spoken like any other language, though it is preferred to be written on paper. Some combinations given by the cypher are unpronounceable, so it is mostly written on paper.
