--History--Compared to many pantheons, the Incan gods might be considered young. The Aztec gods hadlong held sway to the north in Central America under various guises before the Incans came topower. European gods were just beginning to pull themselves from the mire of the ar! Agesand begin e"ploring once more. #ut in the Andes mountains of $outh America, the Incan godsand the empire built by their people were just coming into their own.

%ledgeling gods during the Titan &ar, the Ayllus, the family of the gods, united together to aid theolder gods in their fight against the chthonic progenators. And though 'acha Camac, brother to(iracocha, sided with the Titans and attempted many times to flood the world and destroyhumanity, in the end the Titans were imprisoned and the gods were free to see to the &orld itself.

The Ayllus went through many civilazations during the intervening years. &orshipped by anumber of villages and cultures, under many faces and guises, the Ayllus scattered among thepeople of the Andean region. And while other gods were pulling away from humanity anattempting to distance themselves from the bindings of fate, the Ayllus did just the opposite.&hen (iracocha sent his son, Inti, god of the sun, to unite the people of the Andes mountainsbeneath the )ingdom of Cuzco, one of the greatest empires of the &estern hemisphere wasborn.

*ods of the Ayllus too! a direct hand in guiding the )ingdom of Cuzco from the very beginning.+nder their authority, the people of the Andes mountains e"panded, absorbing other villages andcities. $oon, the )ingdom of Cuzco had become the great Inca Empire, stretching along almostthe entire &estern coast of $outh America.

The Inca people did not e"pand through use of violence and warfare, however. To the north, theAztec people were conuering through force. In the Andes, the Inca people e"panded throughdiplomacy, political conuest and technological superiority. &here the Inca went, advanced roadsand transportation followed. The Inca had a civilization which thrived on unity and community. Alldid their part to wor!, including the wealthy and powerful. Civilations joined the Inca Empire andfound a better way of life.

-ot to say that the Inca Empire did not !now violence. They too had s!illed soldiers and warriors,but they served instead to defend the empire from outside threats. They provided security andwaged war to ensure the safety of those who could not fight for themselves. i!e all aspects ofInca society, the military e"isted for the sa!e of the community and its protective powers servedas yet another reason why smaller civilizations were willing to join the empire.

As European e"pansion brought conuistadors and other e"plorers to the Andes mountains, theAyllus again used their control of the Inca Empire to urge their people into hiding. Those thatwere left behind soon fell into civil war as ruling families tried to ta!e charge and theconuistadors stepped in to ta!e advantage of the wea!ness. The Empire eventually fell, but the

Ayllus preserved their people in hidden locations. In the highest reaches of the Andes, the depthsof the 'eruvian /ainforest and many other lost places. 0any of them are now considered TerraeIncognitae such as 'aititi 1$cion2 emigod, pg. 344 5 3467.

Thus, the Ayllus once again preserved their people where other gods would have abandonedthem. 8owever, the numbers of their people have dwindled drastically. %aith in the Ayllus is nowin danger of dying out entirely if these scattered villages and lost cities are ever destroyed. 9et, atthe same time, the obscurity of the Ayllus has allowed them to avoid the worst of the inter:pantheon conflicts.

8aving all of their followers in a relatively confined location within the area of the Andes0ountains and 'eru also means that the Ayllus can focus themselves on their own little corner of

the &orld with little trouble of outside interference. The continuance of the Inca culture withinthese hidden locations also allow $cions of the Ayllus to have the easiest time adjusting to theirnew roles. #elief in the gods is strong and many Ayllus $cions adapt naturally when told that theyare the children of the gods. 0any are taught their roles and educated by older $cions withintheir own villages and very few have ventured out into the world.

&hy then, after all this time !ept at a distance and focused on their people, have the Ayllusstepped up to ta!e an active role in the new Titan &ar; The Ayllus are as anachronistic as theirpeople. They are out of touch with the modern world and their people are few and far between.&hat the Ayllus do have, however, is an undying sense of community and unity. In Inca society,all must serve their roles and aid the greater good, from the greatest noble, to the smallestpeasant.

The Ayllus may be small in the divine community, but their nature will not allow them to simply sitbac! and let others do their job for them. Their old rival 'acha Camac has returned as dominant

Avatar of the Titan of E"cess, +nu 'acha!uti. It is their responsibility to see that he is returned tohis prison. To put such a burden on another

0ost pantheons ta!e on guises in the modern world and interact with humanity as a whole tobring $cions into the world. #oth the greatest strength and greatest wea!ness of the Ayllushowever, is their focus on the traditional villages that they have hidden away from the world. Thisprovides them with a ready culture that they can mingle with to bring $cions into the &orld.

8owever, it has also left the Ayllus disconnected from the modern world. %ew specialize in the$ciences of today, few understand modern technology or methods and few understand modernculture. &hile sometimes the Ayllus will ta!e on human guises, most of the gods simply appearin their divine form when interacting with their human worshippers.

Clothed in flowing, sea:green cloth, Cochamama, goddess of the sea and fish serves as theprotector of fisherman and sailors. &ith (iracocha, she mothered many gods of the Ayllus,including both Inti an his sister:wife ?uillamama who currently lead the pantheon. $he is very

devoted to her people and rarely leaves the shores of the la!es and rivers of the surviving Incapeople.

8er $cions tend to ta!e up professions on the ocean. They are sailors and fishermen themselvesand can often be found on or near the shores just as their mother. They wor! to provide theirvillages with fish and other supplies provided by the bounty of their mother the sea. Those whoventure out into the &orld to join the fight with the Titans often try to focus their efforts on mattersdealing with water.

-Ekkeko

E!!e!o is the Ayllus god who has !ept the closest ties with the world outside their villages.0ainly because the tradition of worshipping E!!e!o never died with the rest of the Inca Empire.

As the god of the hearth, he provides warmth and security to families and the community.8owever, his true love is his wor! as the god of wealth. olls crafted to loo! li!e E!!e!o aregiven symbolic gifts of wealth and prosperity, in the hopes that by giving these symbolic gifts tohim, he will respond in !ind by giving the real thing in return.

Even among his native people, E!!e!o appears as his dolls do. 8e has adapted to the times andprospered where other Ayllus have not. Even in his god form he dresses in modern clothes,styles his mustache into a thin, modern loo! and wears a !nit cap on his head. 8e is alwaysfound with a large smile on his face. &hen he wal!s the world, he often does so as simply,himself. The luc!y wanderer who just happens be in the area. If anyone were to compare himwith his dolls, it might cause uite a shoc! to the onloo!er.

E!!e!often, they tradefamiliarity with the outside world, for essential banishment from their true culture.

$cions of E!!e!o born within the hidden villages, are no better off than other $cions of the Ayllus.Though born of the wandering god, they are raised in traditional ancient ways and taught a way oflife among the villages. &hen they follow in their father

--Pantheon Speci#ic Pur$iew - Huaca--All pantheons have magical items and sacred places. The very act of being a god brings with itthe ability to craft such items and claim such places for his or her own. #ut the Ayllus ta!e thisconcept one step further. The power of 8uaca is used to identify and manipulate magical items

and places to the whim of the Ayllus. In fact, such items and places are themselves calledBhuacas.B

At the most basic levels, 8uaca allows the user to sense mystical items or places, encodeinformation a special type of huaca called !hipu or locate magical items. At the demigod level,the power begins to focus on how huacas interact with other beings, allowing the creation ofmummies as mystical items, erecting sacred places to house those mummies, allowing the powerof a mystic item to be housed within a person and transforming living beings into magical items.%inally, upon reaching godhood, the power focuses on the potency of mystic places and allowsthe user to create or manipulate those locations.

8uaca is uniue among 'antheon:$pecific 'urviews in its focus on the creation of certain items,such as the !hipu strands, mall!i mummies and their burial tombs, sacred protected sites and

even ushnu pyramids which serve as focal points of the universe. 0any of the things created by8uaca are immobile. An Aztec $cion with Itzli may ma!e his sacrifices of blood almost anywhereand an Egyptian $cion with 8e!u may always find the seven sacred souls to manipulateregardless of location. And *ree! $cions with Arete are always good at what they do.

#ut 8uaca generates things which are immobile and not always easily accessible after creation.These structures and items tend to be multi:purpose once made, but getting to them can oftentimes be a chore if circumstances are aligned against the $cion. This limits the fle"ibitily of the'urview, when compared to the powers of other pantheons, but ma!es up for it by granting moreusefulness to those solid structures.

It is, in fact, this immobility which helped to convince the Ayllus they needed to remain with theirpeople in the &orld and hide away their cities. The sacred ushnu, the paarina burial tombs and

the sacred lands they protected as apu could not escape with them into the >verworld. And theAyllus would not abandon these sacred sites or the people who tended them.

-n%erstan% Huaca &Huaca O'Cost2 -oneice 'ool2 'erception G >ccult

At the most basic level, the power of 8uaca allows a character to sense the presence of mysticalitems or places. &henever the $cion is in pro"imity to a mystical item 1relic, titanspawn trophy,


10/30

etc.7 or sacred location 1terra incognita, a"is mundi, underworld passage, etc.7 the $cion may roll'erception G >ccult as a refle"ive action to identify that item or location as mystical. A singlesuccess is enough to tell the character that the item or place is magical in nature. Each additionalsuccess beyond that provides a single piece of information at the $torytellerverworld or allow the character to find his way into a Terra Incognita that has specific entrancereuirements. Thatccult roll to determine if the item is!nown to the character or not.

The character must also be on the same plane of e"istance at the time. %inding a magical item inthe >verworld or +nderworld is impossible if the character is currently in the &orld, for e"ample.This also includes being in the proper >verworld or +nderworld. *ugnir wonlympus. And 8ades< magical helm won


11/30

Assuming the character !nows of the mystical item in uestion and is in the same plane ofe"istance at the time, she then spends two points of egend and rolls 'erception G Craft. If acharacter has nothing more than a passing !nowledge of he item, the difficutly of the roll is 3H.8aving seen the item with her own eyes lowers the difficulty to . 8aving handled the itempreviously lowers it to D. If the character has actually used the item in uestion in the past, thenthe difficulty is 6. An item that is actually bound to a character as a birthright item is only difficulty3 to locate. If the item in uestion is protected by some sort of magical concealment 1such as useof the Illusion 'urview7 then the boon must overcome that concealment in addition to the difficultyof the boon.

This directional feeling lasts for a full scene. 8owever, the boon may be reactivated at the end ofthe scene for another three points of egend without having to ma!e another roll, e"tending itsduration to another scene, until the item is located.

-ote, that most titanspawn trophies are not actually mystical items until they are removed fromthe titanspawn in uestion 1for e"ample, the eyes of a nagaraja or the tongue of a yu!i:onna arepart of those living beings until removed and made into magical items7. If the BtrophyB of thetitanspawn is a special item that may be ta!en from them, however 1such as $ojobo


12/30

In ancient Inca culture, creating the mall!i is only half of the process. +sing this boon creates apaarina, a sacred location specifically designed to house mall!i. The $cion must specify aclearly defined room that is no larger than his egend in cubic yards and then spend an entire dayand night sanctifying the location with prayer, the burning of sacred herbs and painting the roomwith sacred designs. $o long as this period of time is uinterrupted, the $cion then spends fivepoints of egend and one &illpower point, thus sanctifying the location as a paarina. Thissanctification is permanent unless the entire room is somehow destroyed.

&ithin the confines of a paarina, all mall!i are immune to the effects of decay and degenerationas their bodies are magically preserved. Additionally, a mall!i heals one health level of damageregardless of type, each full day it spends within the sacred site. Even if the body is completelydestroyed, a mall!i will regenerate so long as the remains are left within the confines of thepaarina. If removed, however, that particular mall!i is destroyed forever.

>nce created, a paarina serves an additional function as well. As a sacred site dedicated to thepreservation of the mall!i and touched by the Inca dead, it serves as a passage to +!u 'acha,regardless of where the paarina is created. In this way, the Inca are not limited to the ancient,crumbling tombs that other pantheons may be limited to, but may find passage to the +nderworldvia modern paarina.

-Taki n*uy &Huaca OOOOO O'Cost2 D egend, 3 egend per dayice 'ool2 Charisma G Athletics

This boon ta!es the form of a sacred dance of the Ayllus which allows the user to ta!e a huacainto himself and use its power. %or a $cion, this ta!es the form of absorbing a relic or othermystic item into his own body. The use of this boon first reuires performing the ritualistic danceassociated with the boon. This reuires an hour:long ritual, followed by a roll of Charisma G

Athletics, difficulty D. &ith the roll successful, the $cion then spends five points of egend whilein physical contact with the mystic item and the item melts into the body of the $cion.

This merger lasts indefinately though the $cion may refle"ively end it at any time. It reuires an

additional cost of one egend point per day to maintain this power

>nce, a virgin goddess named Cavillace was impregnated by the seed of a minor moon deitynamed Coniraya. &hen her son was born, she demanded that the father step forward. -one

did. $o she set the child down and he crawled to Coniraya. Ashamed and insulted that Conirayadid not step forward, she too! her son and fled to the ocean, transforming herself and her son intostones which became venerated as huaca.

This boon replicates the transformation of Cavillace and allows the $cion to transform eitherherself or others into large objects such as stones, trees or other naturally occuring things. The$cion must be in physical contact with the target if doing it to someone other than herself. Eitherway, she then rolls Intelligence G >ccult at a difficulty of the target


14/30

As with ocate 8uaca, the user must at least have !nowledge of the location to be sought. &hilesuch places as +!u 'acha, 8anan 'acha, 8elheim, >lympus or 'aititi may be common!nowledge for a $cion of the Ayllus, some other mystic places are not. The $toryteller mayreuire Academics or >ccult rolls to verify !nowledge of certain places.

This boon more than shows the user how to find a place, it also shows others. The god spends3H points of egend to activate this boon in the first place, as well as two e"tra egend peradditional person who is to be shown the way. The god then rolls 'erception G $urvival. Thedifficutly is 6H if the god only has a passing familiarity with the location. If the god has actuallybeen given directions, then the difficulty lowers to 4D. If the god has actually visited the locationin the past, the difficulty lowers to 4H. If the god is searching for a location that is actually tied tothe Ayllus pantheon 1a passage to +!u 'acha, an A"is 0undi to 8anan 'acha or one of the manyhidden cities that have become terrae incognitae li!e 'aititi7 then the difficulty is only 3H.

#y spending a egend and ma!ing a standard 0ove action, the god may choose to instantlytransport herself to any location within her protectorate. This is available, no matter where thegod is, even if she is outside the &orld in the >verworld, the +nderworld or even within a *reaterTitan at the time. 8owever, the god is unable to do this if she is unable to ma!e a 0ove action.Thus, if restrained or otherwise rendered Inactive, the god may not transport herself to herprotectorate. -ote also that this transportation is one way. &hile the god may travel multipletimes within the confines of her protectorate, she may not travel instantly bac! to a locationoutside the border she may have left behind. If she leaves her #and at the mercy of a *reaterTitan, she cannot instantly travel bac! to them and will have to ma!e the journey the hard way.

And the god cannot bring others along for the ride. That falls under the power of 'sychopomp.The intimate connection with the sacred landmar! is for only the god that created it.

Inactive on the throne for a full $peed D action. At the end of this time, the player may then as!the $toryteller one single uestion regarding past, present or future and about any location orsubject in the world. The $toryteller must answer this uestion truthfully, however, crypticanswers, especially regarding the future or hidden targets, are certainly acceptable. The ownermay as! only one uestion per day in this manner and further uestions must wait until anotherday. 8owever, he may also grant this ability to another by inviting her to sit upon the secondthrone atop the pyramid. This second person may use the throne in the same way, but only withthe permission of the ushnuverworld, especially within any $anctums they may possess, to ensure safety and theoreticallyeasy access. >thers construct them upon natural landmar!s which they protect using the Apuboon so that they may transport themselves to the location instantly. A god may have only asingle ushnu at any given time. 8owever, if a powerful enemy does destroy it with an Avatar or+ltimate Attribute, the god is able to create a new one by re:using this boon.

These temples also serve as sanctums, with openings in the sides of the pyramids which lead toliving uarters and other temple rooms that are important to day:to:day life. Their size, about thatof a &orldly mansion, ma!es the location only a $anctum of 3, but the fact that the god gains

special benefit from the location and can easily re:ma!e it should it be destroyed ma!es it a vitallocation to one of the Ayllus.

--,irthri!hts--The Inca gods were often very basic in their use of #irthrights. %ollowers for the Ayllus and their$cions tend to consist of the people that worship them. $oldiers and priests serve as followersmost often and are best represented with the stats for the appropriate type of mortal as shown in$cion2 8ero, pg. 4H to 46.

Creatures also tend to ta!e the form of blessed versions of normal creatures such as condors,llamas, pumas, sna!es and other sacred animals. And *uides tend to ta!e the form of ancestralspirits and ghosts who represent great heroes and sages from Inca past or even other minor godsof the Inca people who don

The symbol represents the three layers of reality, theunderworld inside it all, the outer world, and the heavenly realm above. There is a hole in themiddle which represents the a"is by which shamans and other mystics may transverse the planesof e"istance.

In the center of that city rises asingle, golden pyramid, larger than any that stands among the mortal &orld.

This golden pyramid is the home of Inti and his wife ?uillamama who sit above the sprawling cityon the double seats of the pyramid. %rom here, Inti can loo! down upon the city and seeeverything that happens within 8anan 'acha. 8is wife too can watch their people, though she is

Desert:The desserts of +nu 'acha!uti are hot and dry, suc!ing the life from anything which wanders intothem. &al!ing through the empty wastes causes environmental damage to any living beinge"posed to the elements 1amage #Lhour, Trauma 3H7. &ater dries up almost instantly, ma!ingplanning ahead a moot point. Even the hardiest of creatures will steadily become worse withinthe deserts as the heat suc!s the moisture from them. %or each hour spent within the desert, acharacter loses one dot from his $tamina. If this means his $tamina is not high enough for hisEpic $tamina, then he loses those higher levels of Epic $tamina. This effect fades within an hour

once a character leaves the desert.

Tundra:&ithin the frozen wasteland of the tundra, ice covers the ground, while snow blows in a constantblizzard across the landscape. 0ovement is restricted by the waist:high snow, giving a :D penaltyto all movement related actions ta!en within the frozen wastes. The cold bites to the s!in,regardless of protection or other defenses. i!e the dessert, no life e"ists here, the cold too muchfor it. Environmental damage is suffered by all those who enter the frozen wastes here 1amageKLhour, Trauma 3H7. If the individual in uestion happens to be wet at the time, this lethaldamage is doubled.

River:A large, raging river flows through +nu 'acha!uti. It cuts through the landscape and washes

away everything in its wa!e, flooding the land. The river always floods its ban!s and erodesaway its surroundings. In the river, the ban! is unseen. >nly the water is present. &hen in theriver, all characters face a :D penalty to all movement related actions as the water rises up as highas it can and limits movement. Characters may attempt to swim and gain some immunity to thepenalty using &ater #oons. 8owever, characters must still fight the currents. Even characterswith &ater #oons must ma!e e"terity G Athletics rolls at difficulty 3H or ris! being washed awayby the rushing water. Characters who are suc!ed under ris! drowning if unable to breathe water.

Jungle:0ost of +nu 'acha!uti is ta!en up by the jungles. In the jungles, the trees and vines form anearly solid wall of vegetation that covers the landscape as far as the eye can see. Trees towerup above, the canopy always out of sight, even for those capable of flight. The heat is stifling butnot deadly. The real danger comes from the fact that movement is restricted. Than!s to the

vines and low:hanging branches, even while flying, no ash actions may be ta!en. >nly 0oveactions at best. Additionally, other creatures roam the jungles, usually of the nemean ortyphonian variety. These creatures tend to be adapted to the landscape and have little troublemoving as others might.

The true danger of +nu 'acha!uti is its randomness. These various zones do not interact in apredictable pattern. &hat

constantly changing climates, until eventually the pyramid of 'acha Camac is reached far in thedistance.

Additionally, +nu 'acha!uti connects to many of the other Titans. #y flying up into the stormclouds above, a god may find himself suddenly in Ehe!atoyaatl when the clouds clear away.*etting lost in the jungles and watching the ground for the rare animal path may eventually lead

the traveller into the jungles of Terra. iving into the river and swimming down until the surface islost opens into the depths of the rowned /oad. &andering into the deserts where the worldburns its hottest may provide a gateway into a place which burns even hotter as the traveller findshimself in the smo!ing desert of 0uspelheim. And travelling the frozen tundra until the reflectedlight from the snow blinds the eyes will lead to the frozen wastes of A!hetaten. 0any of thesepaths wor! eually well in reverse of the travellers can find their way.

There are no !nown connections to Crom Cruach or (ritras, however. &hile both of them may beconsidered e"cessive, their life:draining nature ma!es them both the antithesis of what +nu'acha!uti represents. Theories of connections to $o!u:-o:)umi e"ist, but so far, none haveproven them.

-Pacha Camac

After (iracocha flooded the world and left the surviving people alive to repopulate, he left them inthe care of his brother, 'acha Camac, un!nowing that he had been seduced by the allure of +nu'acha!uti. 'acha Camac left the two to starve as he became more focused on his owne"cesses. The man died of starvation and the woman cursed him. In his rage, 'acha Camacgave her a son, only to !ill him later.

&hen (iracocha realized again what was going on, he gave the woman another child who grewinto a great hero and led the Ayllus in their crusade to drive the titans into e"ile. That $cion hassince died, but the gods live on. And 'acha Camac see!s revenge. 8e is an e"cess of rage andmisplaced focus. And he will not rest until humanity has been made to suffer for their whining andthe Ayllus have been punished for their betrayal.

'acha Camac is a proud, regal Inca man, who sits upon his temple with a faraway loo! in his eye

as if uncaring about the here and now. That loo! is often decieving, however, as 'acha Camac isoften more aware of his surroundings than he seems. 8e favors 0ental Attributes and li!es toreason his enemies into their own submission. 'acha Camac has a base dice pool of 44 for allhis actions.
