Tupac Amaru II, was an indigenous king of the New Inca Empire - whom rapper 2pac adopted his name from.

One man died at 43, the other at 27. Both were killed but left behind a major legacy. It’s very bizarre how fate works. Fucking tragic but interesting nonetheless.

The Incan Technosphere

“In the techno-sphere of the Andes people solved basic engineering problems through the manipulation of fibers, not by creating and joining hard wooden or metal objects. To make boats, Andean Cultures wove together reeds rather than cutting trees into planks and nailing them together. Although smaller than big European ships, these vessels were not puddle-mufflers; Europeans first encountered Tawantinsuyu in the form of an Inka ship sailing near the equator… it had a crew of twenty and was easily the size of a Spanish cavaralle. Famously the Inka used foot thick cables to make suspension bridges across the mountain gorges. And although Andean troops carried bows, javelins, maces, and clubs, their most fearsome weapon, the sling, was made of cloth. A sling is a woven pouch attached to two strings. The slinger puts a stone or slug in the pouch, picks up the strings by the free ends, spins them around a few times, and releases one of the strings at the proper moment. Expert users could hurl a stone with such force that it would kill a horse.” - 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

Flag of the Inca Empire

This is the flag of the Inca Empire. It comes from a world where the Inca were able to defeat Pizarro and his troops, and resisted Spanish conquest. The naturally mountainous terrain of the Andes helped give the Inca a considerable boost in self-defense against other European powers. The Inca played the various European powers off of each other to preserve their independence. The Inca initially considered a policy of isolationism, but this would prove untenable. Though, initially, the Inca limited their interactions with the Europeans as much as possible. 

As time went on, the Inca began to study and replicate European technology and ideas. The first major change being the introduction of gunpowder weaponry, and the establishment of permeant standing army. The Inca also established a formal written language; with its alphabet largely based on the Latin Alphabet, but with some unique flourishes. The Inca had been ravaged by smallpox, and other Europeans diseases, though not quite to the extent they were in our world. Naturally, the Inca sought out the vaccine for smallpox as soon as it became available in the 18th Century.  The 19th Century saw the next major wave of reforms. The Incan government reformed into a parliamentary democracy, with limits set on the Sapa Inca’s powers. The first stages of industrialization also began at this time. The Inca adopted Western styles of clothing, but mixed in their own designs and color choices. Indeed, to this day, the Incan clothing is known for its unique mix of Western and Indigenous designs. However, more traditional style clothing can be found at important events, such as major religious festivals, or the crowning of a new Sapa Inca.   Today, the Inca Empire is a prosperous modern nation. Cusco, the nation capital, is a true global city. It is home to several universities, museums and art galleries, restaurants, and temples that are the envy of the world. The Quechua people are the largest ethnic group within the empire. However, the empire is home to many other ethnic groups including, among others, Aymara, Mapuche, Wayuu, Het, Polynesians, and even Amazonian tribes. The Inca Empire also receives many immigrants from around the world.   Incan citizens enjoy a very generous social safety net. Government-funded healthcare is provided to all citizens, though private insurance also exists. The Department of Employment provides jobs to all citizens who find themselves unemployed. In the event that a citizen cannot fulfill any available jobs, they are instead given a welfare payment until new jobs become available. The Department of Culture helps provide funding for the arts. Some citizens, of course, cannot attend performances of the arts due to their financial circumstances. In this case, they can apply for free vouchers from the Department of Culture. This all means that most Inca citizens have fairly high taxes, but most consider the trade-off worth it.   The flag includes a stylized depiction of the sun god Inti. The Inca still largely follow their traditional religion; though secularism is on the rise. The blue symbolizes how the same blue sky stretches over all parts of the empire. In the corners of the flag are four chakana; a common geometric shape found in art across various Andes Civilizations. They are in the four corners of the flag in reference to the Inca Empire’s official name, Tawantinsuyu, which means Land of the Four Corners.

Now that I’ve finished League of Dragons, I can’t help but notice that the political situation in the Americas at the end of the book has set the stage for some interesting stuff...

In particular, I think Anahuarque’s actions have inadvertently set the stage for an Incan Civil War or even a breakup of the Incan Empire a generation down the road.  Her ambition won’t let her return to Cusco, and I’m convinced she’ll stay in France so she can continue to mingle among European nobility.  It’s created an inverse situation from our timeline’s cause for the Brazilian War of Independence, and I think when that happens with Brazil crowning its own Emperor breaking away from Europe as it did IRL, that plus the rest of the independence movements is going to trigger something in Pusantinsuyo.

Has anyone done any fan fiction set in South America post-canon?  Because it would definitely be the next location of exciting battles and adventures, IMO.

I’ve been spending most of this last week adding little details for the demo. Above are some examples of the Research entries for the main trio and Tawantinsuyu. These aren’t final, of course, as you can see there are many inconsistencies. These will be fixed later on.

I’m also adding in the tutorials (in the Research tab; they aren’t forced on the player), double checking items and enemy drops, balancing the first and second bosses.

I appreciate the new followers! Thank you so much for joining the journey!

July Camp 2022 Wrap-Up

I finished my camp project, so it's time for my July Camp NaNoWriMo 2022 wrap-up

It’s day 26 and I finished my Camp project on day 24 with 45,372 words. There were things I was unsure about when I started this project, but I feel like it’s come together well and I’m happy with the outcome. It was a depressing topic, but I feel good about the way I wrote it. I had to alter some things historically because some things needed to be condensed for the purposes of turning a…

We start our expansion with the leaders that aided in the capturing of new territory; from Pachacuti (in Cuzco, Peru), Tupac Inca (expanding towards Quito, Ecuador), then with Huayna Capac proceeding south (into Bolivia, Argentina & Chile), finally with Huascar and Atahualpa expanding north into Colombia.

We're primarily looking at Pachacuti, Tupac Inca, and Huayna Capac's expansion; Which has brought the greatest expansion into Tawantinsuyu (more than 770,000 square miles of land) and later broken down into four suyus; Chinchaysuyu, Antisuyu, Cuntisuyu and Collasuyu.

The Incan Economy

“Not the least surprising feature of the economic system was that it functioned around money. True, the lack of currency did not surprise the Spanish invaders - much of Europe did without money until the eighteenth century. But the Inka did not even have markets. Economists would predict that this non market economy - vertical socialism, as it has been called- should produce gross inefficiencies. These surely occurred, but the errors were of surplus, not of want. The Spanish invaders were stunned to find warehouses overflowing with untouched cloth and supplies… More importantly [the Inca] managed to eradicate hunger.” - 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

“Every time I come here, I’m surprised,” says one of Peru’s best-known chefs, Virgilio Martinez, about the village of Maras. “There’s a huge mountain of shining white pools that produce this very beautiful and very pure pink salt.” Martinez makes a pilgrimage to the Andean town, roughly 11,000 feet above sea level, a few times a year to source the seasoning for his Central restaurant in Lima. The chef organizes his 17-course tasting menu by altitude and serves Maras salt coarse – “we like to really feel it.” Martinez has nabbed a Michelin star, but his real coup? Earning the respect of the locals who take him foraging.

A mineral as well as a metaphor, the crystalline substance signifies both authenticity (“salt of the earth”) and capability (“worth his salt”). In ancient Rome, legionnaires were sometimes paid with the stuff (hence the word salary). Despite meriting more than four pages in the Oxford English Dictionary, the world’s top flavor agent – and how it ends up on our plates – often escapes our notice.

Most salt production involves mining, but that’s not the case in Maras, where the Incas engineered an ingenious system for harvesting sodium chloride six centuries ago: The tiny Qoripujio spring unearths halite (the mineral name for salt) as it trickles through a labyrinth of man-made channels that feed some 3,000 shallow pools, terraced down a mountainside.

Today, men in dusty trousers and women in full skirts, all members of the town’s salt co-op, wait for the pools’ thin layers of water to evaporate. They rake the deposits into baskets and take them to the co-op’s warehouse to be bagged and sold. This slow dance continues throughout the dry season, roughly May to November. Family members have long passed pools down to their offspring, setting up the next generation.

In addition to attracting rock-star chefs and tourists, this marvel of ancient engineering drew photographer Juan Manuel Castro Prieto, who captured these images. “The people of Maras have preserved traditions that have been lost elsewhere,” Prieto says. “I’m always looking to reflect everyday life. Nothing extraordinary happens in my pictures.” Here, however, the ordinary is nothing short of astounding.

I saw this and it remined me of Craig and Tweek. I have been wanting to draw Incan Craig just because his design is so COOL. so here is robin Tweek x Incan Craig.

Prompt: Empire AU 

Tweek is an outlaw thief Craig is a prince and is to be crowned as the empire.

Tweek tries to take from the empire only to be caught by Craig. Craig doesn’t turn him in, but instead give Tweek some of his gold.

back and fourth Tweek woos the boy into giving him more gold and Craig does. Tweek ends up falling for the boy in-between the secrets hangouts and to protect himself, he never sees Craig again.
