Yupanqui With Honor is Captain of the Winged Tooth Knights in Winged Tooth Village. He needs your help to find the kidnapped Queen, Chasca Dawn Hour. He sends you into Black Tooth Gorge to free the captured Wing Tooth Knights and Pachakutiq Who Shakes the Earth.
In Quechua Yupanki means “with honor” It is a Central American surname and was the familial line of the first rulers of the Incan Empire. It is interesting to note that the inspiration for Pachakutiq Who Shakes the Earth, whom Yupanqui With Honor sends you to find, is the ninth Incan Sapa (Chief) of the Kingdom of Cuzco and the ruler who transformed the Kingdom into the Incan Empire.
Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui (Quechua: Pachakutiq Inka Yupanki) was the ninth Sapa Inca (before 1438 – 1471) of the Kingdom of Cusco which he transformed into the Inca Empire (Quechua: Tawantinsuyu). Most archaeologists now believe that the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu was built as an estate for Pachacuti.
Pachacuti, son of Inca Viracocha and Mama Runtu, was the fourth of the Hanan dynasty. His wife’s name was Mama Anahuarqui, or Quya Anawarkhi (Coya Anahurque). She was a native of Ayllu Chocco. He had three sons, Tupac Ayar Manco, Apu Paucar, and Tupac Inca Yupanqui.
Pachacuti had his two brothers, Capac Yupanqui and Huayana Yupanqui, killed after the military campaign against the province of Chinchay-Suyu. He also killed his sons Tilca Yupanqui and Auqui Yupanqui.
Amaru, the older son, was originally chosen to be co-regent and eventual successor. Pachacuti later chose Tupac Inca because Amaru was not a warrior. He was also the first one to retire.
