Rebirth and Resettlement
Quechua The Paititians made peace with each other, and followed Yskar Yaway, recently acclaimed as emperor, to a site in the mountains, to begin anew. Certain they will not make the same mistakes as those before them.

The First Emperor
Quechua During a fierce battle, a man of two bloods, throws down his weapons and, speaking with passions, convinces the other warriors to do the same. They follow him from the battlefield into the city, where they behead several merchants, who initial bickering caused the war.

Troubled Lands
Mam The surging population and lack of civil planing caused the settlement many problems. Farmers clear-cut jungle to use the fertile riverbanks for their crops, resulting in a devastating flood in the first heavy rains. Overhunting forced hunters to travel ever further to find game.

Several groups, each vying for a controlling interest in the settlement, debated, often fiercely, on the best manner of solving these problems.

Two Peoples As One
Quechua Ill-suited for the local land, the Maya's agriculture techniques of lash and burn, soon led to a food shortage. At the risk of starvation, they entered into treaties with local pre-Inca tribes, gaining new technologies and crops.

The traders arrived, bringing new goods, and then the farmers, with new crops and techniques. Eventually, as more and more of the outsiders arrived in Paititi, they eventually administrative control.
