The Origins of the Cuzcan City States

At first, there were two tribes in the Cuzcan Genesis, the Techullans and the Acamans. The Techullans dominated the Acamans, being the people of administrators and builders, whereas the Acamans were the farmers and ranchers of the Cuzcans. Techullans and Acaman were thus the two first towns settled by the Cuscans, and were thus the cradle for the Cuzcan City States.

To the north came the capital of Techulla, situated nicely by the river of Truyasco, where the Cuzcans could from their nicely designed terraces observe vast herds of grazing elephants in the east, hot forests in the direct north, as well as dense jungles to the east and west and over the sunburnt and barren hills to the south, the Yumaca Heights, there was a land of grazing buffalos and fields of bountiful crops of corn, surrounded by lush forests hanging their branches gently over the Opayaco River. In the Yumaca hills themselves, there was numerous wildboars living of loose roots, rodents and worms, but the boars themselves tasted most favorable after some careful grilling.

The leadership of the Cuzcan City States was fervently dominated by Techulla, which hosted the strongest families of the Cuzcans, and there was something reminiscient of a palace, a massive stone building, built in the same style as the many terraces surrounding the city.
There were two groups of warriors, named the Quechas, that trained themselves on wildboars and elephants, in anticipation of greater, bipedal dangers. In many ways, the Cuzcan City States were already civilized, and in some ways not. Life had little value, and was short and grim. Women were there for breeding, and men for killing, and children raised to fulfill either of these roles.

Only their new leader, Provochuco, was to make a change to their static and miserable lives, and add some ambition to them.

Some three hundred years later, a group of pinkskinned hunters stumbled out of the Jungle and mumbled some strange hissing language with a lot of angry r's z's and hissing esses, snagging at the surprised farmers in a most curious language, like whining pigs.
The Quechas went down to the river and watched them, constantly pointing east to tell them where to go to, and that they did not belong her. Due to the pig ears hanging around their belts as travel snacks, and their plump bellies, the Cuzcans could see they had a similar diet as ourselves. "You become what you eat, so these could well be our digestive brothers, in a way". Provochuco then wrote the Diet Code called the Mosher, what you could and could not eat. We also drew these pinkskinned hunters, with Elephant foreskin loincloths and grass-helmets, a map of our lands south and west, that we indeed were near the ocean.

We waved them farewell, but we are afraid they think we waved that they should just leave. But who can help our sanguine gesticulation?
Only the gods can, and in the meantime, we may just seem forbidding for some thousand years, until we learn some manners.

Thousand Years Later

The civilized City States of Cuzco developed their country further. Scouts discovered Etruria to the far east, Skarsgardia to the southwest and Carthage to the North. The City States figured they had quite civilized neighbors, and the word went that we could all get along here, as the jungle was by far dangerous enough by herself. The mighty terraces were impressive, and the influence over the surrounding countryside grew quickly. The cities were well defended too, well defended enough to allow for more civilized developments of the cities, not just simple cultivation of short-sighted violence. The first thing the people wanted, was the steady access to meats, from pigs and cattle, and they got huge, lavish meals, along with the handpicked corn. The City States of Cuzco was a quiet and orderly kind, but self aware and knew how to develop a good realm.
