The News

North America

Valley of the Yokuts (North American Pagan, Eagle’s Nest)

Shining Scales, Valley-Lord, Son of Bear-Killer

Diplomacy Serrano (ne)

Shining Scales was back in charge. A flurry of activity in the valleys of the Yokuts saw not only the new city of Scorpion Pass built in Serano but a road joining it to the Eagle’s Nest. Shining Scales saw to it that every village and town in his mighty nation was assessed and the value of every building, goat and squash farm counted.

The Hohokam (North American Pagan, Naco)

Tawa, Speaker to Thunder-beasts

Diplomacy None

Hunted, fished, planted some squash plants.

The Sioux People (North American Pagan, Bufalo)

Nawanda, "The First"

Diplomacy None

A time of consolidation for Nawanda and to reflect on the satisfying greatness of his domain.

The Dakota Tribes (North American Pagan, Mankato)

Crazy Dog

The Moundbuilders (North American Pagan, Cahokia)

Crow-Horse, Lord of Illini, Master of Michigamea, Spear-master

Diplomacy Scioto (ne), Adena (a)

Crow-Horse was determined to bring Scioto into the fold but despite his endeavours little progress was made in the region. Running-bear had greater success in Adena, almost despite the assistance of the Erie chief.

The Atakapa Councils (North American Pagan, Ayoel)

Heap of Birds, Reed-Lord

Diplomacy No Effect

Minded their own business.

The Echota Confederation (North American Pagan, Echota)

Nottley, Wind-Holder

Diplomacy None

Central America

TzinTzunTzan (Meso-American, TzinTzunTzan)

Tz'yu, Huey Quetzl

Diplomacy Tepuztec (t)

Small investments were made in a postal road between Cuyutec and Tarascan – little more than a track in the forest at the moment. Some small effort was also made to clear the scrubland around the city of TzinTzunTzan itself. Tz’yu met with the envoys from Zapotec and finally decided to throw in his lot with the southerners – it would give him more time to hunt and anyway.

Zapotec Kingdom of Mitla (Meso-American, Mitla)

Tzintzunotzlin , Son of Sky-Wheel-Speaker

Diplomacy TzinTzunTzan (incorporated)

Now was the time, TzinTzunottzlin spent long hours with Pachamatl and Xamtlac on the issue of TzinTzunTzan. No longer would he stand for Tz’yu’s careless ways – his envoys must persuade the wayward ruler to join with the Zapotec once and for all. To his relief Pachamatl managed to bring it off and the Tzin would now be managed directly from Mitla. TzinTzunottzlin was pleased to be rid of old Maime – supposedly Tz’yu had decided not to marry the princess himself but had hoisted her of to some potentate in Cuyutec.

The Triple Alliance (Méxica) (Meso-American, Tiacopan)

Eight Deer, King of the Tiacopan, Lord of Texcoco and Tula

Diplomacy None

The Chimu Kingdom of Chanchan

Viracocha, The Young Sun

(South Amerind

Diplomacy Ataura(t), Huari(a)

Moche grew in size, the walls were torn down and reused in the expansion of the city. Nicaro was released to the Quito – who properly failed to take charge of the city and region of Nicoya. Kuzal was blessed with a young son but at the cost of his young wife. Akkha-Nitak and Varne-Nazca headed to Ataura to persuade the local rulers to join with the greatest nation of all America!

Tiahuanako

Amehu the Fambly-Man, Lord of the City of Seven Walls
