Long ago, before civilisation, Terra's first urban settlement was established by the Hittites in 6500BC during the neolithic era and on the Anatolian landmass.

It is told that a bustling and vibrant trade city evolved and was named Catalhuyuk.

It is said that elements may come together here to forge a mighty military machine but firstly much exploration and discovery was necessary....

Konya was the tribal leader who was responsible for these things.

6000 Neolithic people lived here, in fortifications of linked rectangular mud-brick buildings. Food was mostly hunted or gathered, but the inhabitants also raised animals and stored surplus grains.

Catalhuyuk is the oldest and only civilisation on Terra by 4000BC.

"Cut the timbers, get over the forests and hills! We need metal and weapons! Many tribes have been met and many tribes need to be dealt with!"

Copper fields loomed and the military stronghold of Kayu was established in likeness of Catalhuyuk. The Copper mines were introduced early in the third millennium B.C. making possible a flourishing "copper age" (ca. 2500-2000 B.C.) during which cultural patterns throughout the region were remarkably uniform. The use of bronze weapons and implements was spreading quickly throughout the expanding kingdom with more cities soon to be settled.

Coming from an agricultural base, Mining and Bronze working were soon followed by Animal Husbandry.

Having been the first to invent The Wheel in he pre-4000 BC era all new resources were quickly connected.

The kingdom would be well defended by Axe and Chariot...

Rugged terrain and an expansive, yet organised approach allowed the aggressive Konya the ability to establish a far flung kingdom.

The tribes of Mali came togather under a common leader, his name was Kon Fatta. He was king, or Maghan, and set out to grow his fledling kingdom.

Warriors were sent to explore and, in time, foreign tribes were met. The world of the Mali was found to be bordered by the Germans to the East, the Egyptians to the South, and the Koreans to the SouthEast. A great ocean sat north and west of the capital of the Malinese emprire, Timbuktu.

Kon thought it wise to consult with Mali's neighbors and try to set some borders in a peaceful way and discussions have already taken place between Germany and Egypt. And while nothing solid was decided, Kon was sure agreements, fair to all parties, could be reached and peace would hold in the region.

Forests were abundant and plans were already being made to remove them from strategic locations to help grow the kingdom. About the same time as the forest removal projects were being hatched by Kon, the idea to give work to the lesser dregs of Malinese society was also considered.

While a very few advisors were against this practice, on the flimsy basis that these people were most likely captured from less advanced or fortunate societies and would be forced to work, the majority thought it a wonderful idea and the practice was soon adopted.

After years of nomadic life that started, according to legend, after breaking from bondage to a civilization known only as the English the Americans decided to build a permanent settelment grow crops and lead a more sedentary lifestyle. A location rich in resources with fish and clams in the ocean and strange creatures covered in white fur to the east was chosen and Roosevelt was elected leader.

Roosevelt sat looking out over the beginnings of the city that as his first act he had named after himself. He expected that some voted for his election due to the irony of a now sedentary people led by someone who was unable to move on his own. Be that as it may, he would lead them well and make America into a great power. As his first act he ordered the building of a great ship to take advantage of the clams in the ocean north of the city. There was some grumbling about this decision as people wondered if the English ancient enemies of the Americans, if legend was to be believed, might attack. Still when the oysters started arriving in shiploads the grumbling stopped and the population of Roosevelt began to grow.

One day as Roosevelt was carried through his growing city the world suddenly went dark and his chair stopped. Looking up he could no longer see the sun and then as he watched it was as if it was born again as it appeared again from behind a dark disk. Then the world around him changed and it was as if he was floating through the sky. As he watched the world was born at the command of a great voice and many things that before he couldn't see appeared. Knowledge flooded his brain. Then as if no time had passed he was back in his chair. Take me back to my palace he said at once and bring me my advisors. At first he didn't move then when he repeated his command in a louder voice his chair began to move. As if the world was laughing at him as the sun returned he could feel the knowledge slipping away from his brain. When he arrived at the palace his advisors were waiting for him.

"The truth of the world has been shown to me" he began. And he continued telling them all he had seen. "I now name you mystics!" "Go and spread the truth to all the citizens of America!.

Thus the Golden age of American mysticism was born.

Viracocha y la creacion (Viracocha and the creation)

Viracocha

Viracocha emerged from Lake Titicaca.
He created the Incans, the first race of humanity.
He created the sun, and gave the light of the sun to the Incans, to light their days.
Then he created the moon, and gave the light of the moon the the Incans, to light their nights.
He created the fire, and gave it to the Incans so they could warm their houses and eat their meat.
He created the stars, and gave them to the Incans, so they could find their paths.
He gifted the Incans with the greatest treasure, the soul, so they would be eternal and be seperated from the animals.

Lake Titicaca

Then he proceed to create the waters, the rivers and the lakes, the great seas and the oceans.
He putted everything in the right order so everything had it's proper place.

Then Viracocha's last creation, which was factually his first creation, was the demigod of the Incans. He created them last but first, to lead the people.

Then Viracocha left Titicaca and went to heaven.

The demigod of the Incans, first and last creation of Viracocha

Demigod of the Incans
His Divine Majesty, was the last but first creation of Viracocha.
He was the most excellent creation of Viracocha.
Eventhough all creations of Viracocha were equally perfect and good, this creation was better and more perfect, while being equally perfect.

He was the wise leader of the Incans, as ancient history would show. He lead his people to the foundation of the city of Rho-Cuzco.
Rho-Cuzco was build on the center of Terra. No place in the Incan lands was more suitable and more perfect to build the capital of the Incans, though all places in the Incan lands were equally suitable and equalle perfect, Rho-Cuzco was the most equally perfect places of all.

Rho-Cuzco, Greatest city of the Incans

The palace was build in the center of Rho-Cuzco, and all citizen worshipped their leader. Not because he was more powerfull or more divine then them (eventhough he was more powerfull and more divine then all). But because he had lead them to this place called heaven, eventhough it was called Rho-Cuzco.

The Incans gain the knowledge of the truth
The city became a place of knowledge.
Soon the greatest scientists of the world revealed the truth about Terra. They learned that their demigod was not the only divine being. Something that he had known for a long time, but hidden for his people, till they were ready to know the truth.
The truth about the divine presence of many gods was soon to be named "Hinduism".

It learned that Brahman was the greatest god of all.
Vishnu, the preserver was equal to Brahman.
Shiva, the destroyer, was equal to Vishnu.
They were the greatest gods of Hinduism.

Rho-Cuzco became the center of Hinduism, many monks and priests settled in Rho-Cuzco, to make the city the most important city on Terra.
The city grew strongly and the culture of the city spread far away.

The Incan empire expands
Soon after the birth of Hinduism, the Incan empire expanded into a 2nd city. Nowhere on Terra could an empire be found that was based upon multiple cities. The 2nd city of the Incans was named "Cuzco", which means "This is where we live". (Rho-Cuzco obviously means: "This is where our Demigod lives")

The 2nd city was build in the jungles west of Rho-Cuzco, alongside the holy river, the "Amazone" (Written in the holy Dutch language of the Incans!!)
This river, which was longer and deeper then the small river of Rho-Cuzco, was known to be the holy river of the Hindu faith.
All Hindus bathed in this river to gain the blessing of the gods.

The Amazone

Many neighbours
Soon the Incans met their southern neighbours, the Carthagians. The Carthagians entered one of the small villages just before the Incans could.
Peace was made between the Carthagians and the Incans.

From the North the Incans met the people of America.
Peace was established, but the demigod renounced the idea to equally divide the lands around Rho-Cuzco between America and the Incans. "We cannot give away our holy land" he responded. Though it was promised to the Americans that such a deal may be made in the future nontheless.

The Americans fall for the great lie of Buddhism
The Americans suddenly showed their untrustable nature, by denouncing Hinduism!
The atheistic faith of Buddhism spread in the American city of Roosevelt. Disturbing.
One day an American passenger even entered Rho-Cuzco and started to spread the laughable fairy tale that Viracocha himself was raised by Buddhistic Monks, and that all wisdom he had was begothen from the Americans. He even claimed that all hindus who didn't believe this were fundamentalistic zealoats.
Eventhough this man deserved nothing more then death, he was released from the city, to show the peacefull nature of Hinduism.

The Americans continued to insult Hinduism and the Incans, despite the sign of good will, given by the Incans.
The lies and the insults were disturbing and brought great rumor among the Incans.

Great tensions between American and Inca, the Americans capitulate
One day a group of American settlers ran into a great arm of Incans.
The superior power of the Incans was clear.
With a breath of the lungs all the settlers could have been killed and a clear message to Roosevelt would be sent.

American Settlers in Incan territory

But the demigod once again showed his mercyfull nature and the peace of Hinduism.
The love and the peace and the greatness and the beauty and the grace and the might of the Incan people, and some diplomatic pressure, made the American empire surrender and give in to the peacefull wishes of Rho-Cuzco.

The American leader, Roosevelt, apologized for the great insults he had done upon the Incan, the Incan people and the gods of Terra.
Peace was established between America and Inca.
It was clear that this ancient act of goodness from the Incan could never be forgotten by the Americans, who could soon found the city of New York..
Without this peacefull response after the American agression, the American civilization would have always been small and without meaning.

The English offer their 2nd city to the Incans
Long after the birth of Cuzco, the English empire settled the city of York close to the borders of Rho-Cuzco.
The citizen of York soon admired the Incan culture above the culture of England.
Tongues claim that York was more an Incan city then an English city, and the citizen of York spoke the native incan language, the tongue named Dutch.

A few years after the settlement of York it's citizen even adopted Hinduism, soon followed by the entire empire of England.
This great act of wisdom by the English tightened the bounds between England and Inca.

“Los cuatro hermanos Ayar.” (The end of days of the Demigod)
After all these years of joy and hapyness the Demigod announced that he would soon start his journey to heaven.

At a place to the south of Cuzco called Paucartambo, there was a mountain called Tamputoco, in which there were three windows, or caves. The ancestors of the Incas, who were related as a group of four brothers, came out of the central window.
these four brothers competed with each other in order to be elected by Viracocha as the First Inca Emperor. Each brother had to show Viracocha his courage and power. Ayar Cachi, the most astute of his brothers, defied and killed them one by one. Only Ayar Manco, the younger of the brothers, lived to face Ayar Cachi. Ayar Cachi was later killed by Ayar Manco while attempting to prove his battle skills to his brother. Viracocha rewarded Ayar Manco, who become Manco Capac, the first Emperor of the Incans.

Manco Capac, first emperor of the Incans

Narmer and his party landed from a distant star, the Osiris of the sky, into a cold land with fur and tundra. He and his wife bred six healthy sons. His favorite pastime was to tell them stories by the fireside.
"Never forget," he told his young sons, "about the Nile, a mystery river that the ancient ones held in our homeland on the distant galaxy."

"Father is there nothing to call the "Nile" around here. How can we continue the memories?"

"No my son, the Nile lives in our blood, like the coursing of joy when we meet our women. It is in our blood, so we do not need another river."

Narmer had settled upon a hill with glittering rock that could be chipped and formed.
"One day, my sons, you must make our city from this rock. This may not happen in my lifetime, so you must promise me to build a glittering white city upon this hill."

Until then, we will build our kingdom, create settlements and kill the wild men who take our warriors. We have met others who came here near the same time as our arrival. To the East is the friendly land of the Koreans, and to the north is a river, so much our ancieint Nile, settled by the Mali, a quiet strong group who inhabit the rich land. Other wandering warriors have wandered into our settlements and were welcomed with feasts and drums.

We face the sea and watch the sun set in firey glory as it goes into the nether world.

"Learn to contact the leaders of men, for this land is full of wild beasts. Together we will guard our new lands. "

I never said that you were the passenger

Good to see that people actually read my long posts, I always try to hide some gems between the boring parts

**dacole** · March 2, 2007, 09:51

heh I do read them I loved the contirdictory parts of the myth I think I may have a traveler come to spread those....heheheh.

I really do love this style of play.

Most myths I incorporated in my story are real Incan myths! (altered a little tiny bit).
Be aware that we are not 'allowed' to write stories about what happens in the civilizations of others. thus can't send someone to my empire and let him do something. You can let someone come to your empire and do something though. You can even lie that an Incan passenger came to America who did something. I can always say that you're lying obviously.

But it's not that you can come and kill my king, in example. You can someone to kill my king though, and then it's up to me to end the story and decide if the king has been killed or not.
