Rural Ayllu Formation

A Hub campaign about community building connecting several one-shots

Plot points/Scenes

Infrastructure Development

Resource Extraction

Manpower is perhaps the most important resource available. Your starting amount is determined by peasant families with members each who will mine and farm as able. At least half of the number of people you roll (rounding up) will have some weaving skills to tax. In addition, wherever geographically possible, there would be various assets according to the campaign. For example, a forest to cut trees from, a shop, a storage place, a well, free nearby huts, a wooden-framed shaft or open pit.

Food and Water Availbality	Survival DC
Abundant food and water	10
Limited food and water sources	15
Very little, if any, food and water sources	20

A minimum of 40 labourers are needed to get a decent harvest. 64 is optimum to spread the variety of resources, where after work can begin on improving the colca. New workers can be acquired by requesting them through the mit'a system or inviting others to settle near you during missions at moments of opportunity.

Local Tampu

Ayllus are given a starting colca where food and simple weapons are stored by the state. It is on the fledgling or emerging ayllu to manage resources in order to upgrade it to a basic Tampu

1. Tenant families with members per family who live with you, or in buildings nearby to work the land, plus other families who work land in the periphery.
   • Alternatively, add Total ayllu members on 1 click to the previous number of permanent residents
2. 60 day construction time
3. 50 labourers:
   • 10, excluding family members, are guaranteed to fulfill their tax obligations
   • The remaining need to be convinced as volunteers
4. There is no maintenance cost to you, as they are taken up by the state.

Kancha

An architectural feature that consist of a large rectangular structure housing a number of smaller one-room structures within to shield patrons against the cold, rainy environment of the highlands. While not strictly military, this structure is like a castle to these rual communities possessing a courtyard all within an enclosing wall.
Completing one requires:

1. Tenant families with members per family who live with you, or in buildings nearby to work the land, plus other families who work land in the periphery.
   • Alternatively, add Total ayllu members on 1 click to the previous number of permanent residents
2. 6 months to a year in time
3. 100 labourers who fulfill this role as part of taxes
4. 10 masons, who cost 1 ahuasca cloth per month each, or 10 per month total, or 120 per year
5. 1 master builder who costs 5 ahuasca cloth per month or 60 per year
6. 100 ahuasca cloth per month, or 1,200 per year, in incidental costs,
7. Food from the farms ideally
8. Temporary shelters, suggested via a completed tampu

Because kancha have a square layout, their size can vary so long as the ratio of the standard labour above is maintained. For example; 200 labourers, 4 masons and 2 master builders can complete a kancha double the size in 1 year.
If players want to use fancy stone like obsidian or marble, then double the cost or time.

Themes

Community

A traditional ayllu is typically composed of extended families who share a common ancestry and territory to provide a sustainable way of life for its members. They are driven by a strong sense of belonging and identity based on a shared history, culture, and values. Members of an ayllu work collectively on a common project, such as building a house, farming a field or repairing a road; and without payment that serves to strengthen bonds and mutual aid.

Components

Goals

The goal is to build a small but respectable dynasty within their quarter of the world. To stablize themselves they need to, in order:

1. Cultivate several farms to maintain the local population
2. Establish a Tampu to store food and accommodate travelers
3. Build a kancha to house generations of your PC's family
4. Collect resources to pay the taxes while chasing these projects


The reason for this order of projects is tied the number of workers the characters have under them. Naturally, being self-sufficient is being able to feed the small population enough before they can move onto the more complicated works.

Ayllu Creation

An ayllu would be a fictional community of characters who come together to form a social and economic structure. The ayllu would have its own unique culture, history, and traditions, as well as its own set of values and beliefs.
See Specialities

For purposes of simplicity at a starting stage, it is recommended to become an fledgling power.
In this case, you are likely a non-innoit ethnicity living in a random part of the Four Corners with your extended family .
The table below gives perspective on the power scaling and level of responsibility between the great and emerging ayllus.
Fledgling ayllus are bearly worth mentioning politically. Yet the shear number of them in the empire are the vital production base for which it can function. As such, temporary aid can be sent to a fledgling ayllu by the tokoyrikoq to keep them going until it is self sufficient.
Fledglings do not have any particular specialties, but over the course of this stage, players can adapt choices to accommodate transitioning to the emerging stage.

Power	Specialities	Examples
Fledgling	General	Sindikatu Ayllu
Emerging	1 Secondary Speciality	Penguin Panaqa Monkey Panaqa Dog Panaqa
Minor	1 Primary Speciality 1 Secondary Speciality	Bat Panaqa Tinamou Panaqa Bear Panaqa
Major	1 Primary Speciality 2 Secondary Specialities	Llama Panaqa Toad Panaqa Fox Panaqa Alpaca Panaqa
Great	2 Primary Specialities 3 Secondary Specialities	Condor Panaqa Couger Panaqa Snake Panaqa

In all these examples, 'panaqa' denotes royal descent for the innoit, so if there is no pure-blooded innoit founder for your ayllu, then the naming convention would be the 'founder's name' + 'ayllu' with an animal mascot for branding.
The specialties act as a boon to a 'check' when a situation falls within the topic of a house's primary specialty.
Within a secondary specialty, then the check is made with a +2 modifier.

Moral Quandaries

Tax Expectations (Optional)

In the empire, the mit'a tax system requirs each adult to provide labour to the state for a certain period of time each year. The length of time varies depending on the individual's location and skill set. This is the most preferred option by the central government and so long as you have the people, they can be forced to leave and resettle in a far-away place either temporarily or permanently on a negative roll . Since, you are a part of a fledgling community, this tax service can be counted as assisting neighbouring communities whereby you would get your workers back.
Additionally, there are taxes on goods and services paid through textiles and food collected by officials known as mitayoq. The amount of tax paid also varies depending on the individual's location and social status. Agricultural products are the next preferred option so as to fill storehouses across the empire.
The 3 options for paying taxes lie in 4 tiers for simplicity, with the first tier being the lowest amount: 1 person for labour and 1 sack of food and 1 sheet of Ahuasca.
The subsequent tiers follow the same quatity, times the accompanying number, plus all the lower tiers. Think of it like filling in a base before advancing to the higher level. There must be a full column before becoming an emerged ayllu.

Tier 2: Labour and (Food or Ahuasca)

• eg. (1*1+2*1) Labourers and (1*1+2*1) Ahuasca

Tier 3: Labour or (Food and Ahuasca)

• eg. (1*1+2*1+4*1) Food
  and (1*1+2*1+4*1) Ahuasca

Tier 4: Labour or Food or Ahuasca

• eg. (1*1+2*1+4*1+8*1) Labourers

Cruel Tricks

Playtest

Anything made from cumpi cloth are illegal for any non-noble to own.
It is an automatic 'death', if an innoit official catches your character with one. No amount of explanations or rolls will allow them to elude execution. Players would then roll new characters.
If it is a party's NPC, then they are immediately removed.
Be sure players understand the consequences of having a cumpi, as it can make for interesting outcomes.

— In one conspiracy narrative, a player gifted a cumpi grade cloth to a lowly catspaw as payment for services.
For which he was then executed when caught in his possession to tie up loose ends.

De Facto Currency

Following the inca-inspired setting, there is no monetary concept as typically thought of in the modern era. Localized regions do not have overall control of their economy due to pressures from the central state.
Regardless, a tradition of cloth gifting permeates almost all cultures and is the most standardized form of economic exchange to low-key subvert innoit-control.

Though the physical needs of the common, tax-paying peasant are taken care of in the distribution system, other wants may have to be acquired through bartering. Alternatively, transactions for non-subsidized services can be made using 3 grades of cloth quality:
Chusi: The poorest quality cloth actively used by commoners to wear and exchange for low-value items.
Ahuasca: The highest quality cloth that can be legally handled by commoners and the only one suitable for giving as their taxes.
Cumpi: The highest quality cloth made from exotic materials and decorated with elaborate patterns that denote high class.

Note: Cloth payments are still heavily influenced by the barter system (i.e. smaller strips cannot be cut from larger sheets; as if you are changing from dollars to cents).
This is because, the other side would use the cloth to make clothes and blankets for themselves and their family. Even if the recipient previously traded with the PCs, the most a trusted NPC would accept is cutting half, or more, of a chusi and taking the larger portion.
Consequently, it is nearly unavoidable to either under or overpay for goods with cloth.

Starter Stats

Individual characters are influenced by their parents who, in turn, influence their children. Instead of leveling by combat, players train their progeny to become more powerful. The players need for their characters to die, retire or be otherwise become indisposed in order to progress. But everytime they do, a portion of their acquired skills and experience are transfered to the next character.

Trait Distribution Suggestion Strength or Dexterity are the highest ability score. The next-highest score should be Constitution. The next highest ability score after that should be one that will affect your chosen skills the most. 6d20max18 Hit Points at Level 1: 7 + Constitution Modifier Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d12 + Constitution Modifier per level Stats Str Dex Con Int Wis Cha Hits Equipment Items Attack Damage 5 javelins 1d6 1d6 Musical Instrument Features

Quick Party Generation

In the event players want to be responsible for their own legacy, they would need to create new friends after every "Progeny Creation Round". Just note that it is a single player controlling the progeny's party. Multiple players in a game would similarly control parties of their own.

1. Select a ayllu specialty to focus on a tone for your group. This also narrows the resources players would have access to during quests to aid in keeping them together and continuing the chosen theme.
   • Note: A party's specialties throughout the the timeline of the ayllu can vary wildly. The specialized skills attained after one generation normally carry over to the next.
     However, if after a few generations the skills under an earlier specialty remain unchosen after two or three generations, they become forgotten knowledge in your history and cannot be picked up again.
2. Total Number of Party Members per Creation Round
   • Suggested Division:
     1. One third are from the actual family to the progeny
     2. Other miscellaneous family groups can be non-combat oriented
     3. An older member from a previous incarnation
3. Decided on one skill and personal motivation for each member
   • Two additional skills can be later chosen during game play
   • The motivation decided at the start is to act as a guide on the character's behaviour and skill growth
4. Choose one tangible asset that is specially theirs.
   • Two additional assets can be later chosen during game play

Progeny Creation Round

Players improve their homestead and influence by improving their ability to train the next generation. Once the previous character dies, after about 4-5 quests (or more, depending on the player group), their descendent takes over.
At which point the new character rolls new starter stats only slightly higher than the previous plus what they get from advancing a level.

As a character representing members of your created community, you are willing to take on challenges outside your immediate land, such as exploring new territories, hunting for resources, interacting in local politics and fighting against enemies.

Note: While the training for your progeny is 'off screen', players ought to bare in mind that your replacement in training in not necessarily of your bloodline.
Given the theme of community, your progeny could also be an active sidekick, an adoptee to your clan or a talented outsider who proved themselves.

Improvised Weapons

In the culture of the empire, sophisticated weapons are tightly regulated, with the exception of the great and some major panaqas. As a fledgling or emerging ayllu, the options for weapons available tend to be scavenged from common items.

Size	Examples	Damage
Diminutive	Clay Trays, Crystals, Paperweight	1
Tiny	Fist-sized Rock, Mug, Rubber Ball, Metal Pieces	1d2
Small	Bottle, Stone Drill, Pot, Helmet, Ceramic Plate, Vase	1d3
Medium	Stool, Brick, Ceramic Ball, Metal Plate, Found Stick, Glass Beads	1d4
Large	Metal Container, Musical Instrument, Ceramic Container, Chair, Iron Rod	1d6
Huge	10-Foot Rope Ladder, Water Jug, Barrel, Bench, Worktable	1d8
Gargantuan	Table, Boulder, Cabinet, Large Furniture	2d6
Colossal	Reed Boat, Stick Tower, Fish Pole	2d8

Though the GM may adjust the damage as needed, it is typically based on their size plus the strength modifier (excluding for the Diminutive Size).

While improvised weapons threaten a critical hit on a nat 20, there is a 50% change it breaks every time it deals damage, strikes a surface (like a wall) when thrown or an object larger than itself.

Backdrops

Locations

The Second Quadrant is generally the most geographically interesting place where most of the mission hooks can take place uncomplicatedly. Though the home quadrant can be any of the three listed zones below.
The Third Quadrant is not included because it is, canonically, an autonomous region that is less tied to the culture of the rest of the world.

This region of the empire is contains the river valley, far above sea level, with a challenging but fertile environment that requires careful management and planning to support the largest portion of the population.
Terraced hillsides and irrigation systems of the Sacred Valley are a testament to the ingenuity and skill of its people, who are able to thrive in the harsh and unforgiving landscape.

---

This region is mostly composed of many hills and valleys that are home to numerous small towns and villages, many of which had been established by the innoit or had been inhabited continuously before.
These communities are often located on the terraced hillsides and feature traditional architecture, including adobe buildings with thatched roofs. The climate is typically mild and temperate, with cool, dry winters and warm, wet summers.

---

This region is benefitted the most from innoit-built systems of irrigation canals and aqueducts to channel water from the rain to provide irrigation for their crops. It is also known for its rich biodiversity, with a variety of fauna adapted to the high-altitude environment.
There is also the added complication of violent elements of the Canna occupation crossing the river and interfering with player plans.

Mission Quests

These are not in any particular order nor do they all need to be done.
They are also not vital for community building, but may serve for building dynastic reputations with neighbouring communities or government institutions, if gameplay extends beyond the fledgling stage.
Potential Rewards:

• Collecting potential workers for your land is necessary to advance the political hierarchy.
• Hard to get resources
• Gift of Cloth
• Opportunities to learn/improve abroad
