## Pre-History

Long ago, many peoples lived on islands deep in the expanse of blue.  They lived and flourished as the water was bountiful and the climate tropical.  This all ended due to a cataclysm that affected all that lived in this area.  They took their keepsakes and the bare sustenance for survival.  Guided by the god Inti, these different tribes took sail into the unknown blue, no way to know if they would find anything out there, but then.  There was hope.  Land was found and immediately they went to work on the necessary buildings to sustain them.  These peoples eventually splintered off into the unknown parts of this new land for resources and for a place of their own.

## Mid-History

Since the first peoples entered into the bountiful valleys of the Andes region, they have flourished and trusted in Inti.  The fertile valleys transformed into terraces and canals by the Andeans helped to further this production of foodstuffs to feed their growing lands.  The mountains surrounding these lands offered gold, metals, and protection from the wider world outside, but this could not last for long.  Not from any outside force, but from within.  Various factions within this early civilization vied for control of the farms and mines in order to reign above the others.  This eventually led to bloodshed and the mass exodus of people out of the inner region known as the “Collapse of Inti’s People”.  Over time, these people formed their own city states.

These disparate states all warred against one another for decades or longer for dominance, the only law that of regional councils. But this constant warfare was quickly ended once a new foe encroached upon their god given lands.  A force of jungle “savages” came over the mountains to the east in a wave of bloodthirst never seen before.  Fuedes quickly turned into alliances as all the Andean states united for a common goal of defense.  This “War for the Defense of the United Andes Peoples” as it came to be known, resulted in a hard fought victory only possible by cooperation and a retreat by the jungle peoples for seemingly no reason.

The weakened nations were now devastated and open to invasion from their neighbors to the north and south.  As forces on the border massed, these separate states came together in a union.  At the “Meeting of a Thousand Brothers”, every single nation finally saw eye to eye for the first time in a thousand years since the “Collapse of Inti’s People”.  They decided the best course of action was to unify under one banner in order to protect their trade, way of life, and legacy of Inti.  As said by the first Sapa Inca of the Khuska nej pay Andes (Confederation of the Andes), Sapa Inca Palkaqine, “In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the various Councils will be reorganized into the first Khuska nej pay Andes, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. A Confederation that will continue to be ruled by this august body and a sovereign ruler chosen for life.”  And so it was, the different councils that had made law and agreements had been reorganized into a General Assembly that bent the knee to an elected king chosen from amongst them.  The General Assembly holds many powers to keep the order and keep each other and the Sapa Inca in check.  The many factions and Sapa Inca all vie for control of the government, but this corruption simmers deep beneath the surface.

Some years after the “Meeting of a Thousand Brothers” and the formation of the confederation, exploration teams sent into the Amazon jungle to search for resources and the jungle savages found something peculiar.  Another nation state that rivaled that of their own, this nation was known as Cuvagilli, one of the other tribes that had fled cataclysm with the Andeans.  After delegations were sent and meetings happened, they each learned that the other had been attacked by these so called jungle savages.  Both nations had only survived due to the efforts of the other, without even knowing it.  These talks helped to create trade and friendly relationships between the ancestral brothers.  Even today, the Andes and Cuvagilli still have a thriving relationship.

## Modern-History

In the year of Inti, 500, the Andean people thrive and continue to expand ever onward.  With the help of Cuvagilli and the renewed power of the nation, the Andes explores and exploits the bountiful lands of South America.  New methods of farming, industry, technology, warfare, and economics are bringing forth never before seen heights of glory that are just within the grasp of the Andes and their allies.  But the political scene has reverted to ruthlessness only seen before the “Collapse of Inti’s People”.  While the factions of the General Assembly bicker and squabble, the newly crowned Sapa Inca, BMan Roshan, is consolidating his forces and the power vacuum left after the death of the old Sapa Inca.  The General Assembly doesn’t know it yet, but BMan Roshan will cast aside the dysfunctional, rapacious assemblymen in order to create the strongest Empire to ever exist under Inti’s shining light.
