The Sun Wizards

Dylan, Agustin, and I formed the Sun Wizards colony. We were based in what is now Panama and then expanded both to the north and to the south.

Aztec Empire
Our empire had a lot of the same values and beliefs as the Aztecs mainly due to the fact that we eventually took over the Aztecs. They were know for a lot of trade and commerce within all of their cities and due to the fact that we had many different cultures and different regions within our empire, we were allowed to trade various goods from different areas in our empire. With having these trades all across our empire we were able to enhance our culture and unite the community of the Sun Wizards.

Inca Empire
The Inca Empire were the first that we conquered, as so in order to gain their trust, we adopted their religion. This enabled us to connect with the Incas more and connect with them more. Another thing we did was carrying on what they did in every city. They would have food supply stations and here we would pass out food and various supplies to the citizens of that city. This benefited all of our citizens because it allowed to good health because no one was dying from hunger and created a sense of equality between our citizens.

Safavid Empire
Like the Safavid Empire we had one official religion all across our empire. When we conquered new cities and other empires we would force them to adopt the religion too. This created a sense of unity which is needed when you have a very large empire like we did. Even though new people would not be up to converting at first, we felt it is necessary for everyone to share the same common ideas.

Portugal Empire

The Portuguese were known for expanding their empire all across the world. They had wanted to see more of the world and also they wanted to become more of an elite power. Our empire also did this by expanding our borders from the top of what is now Mexico to the tip of Argentina. This expansion helped us gain resources and become more powerful which is exactly what the Portuguese did.

Ming Empire

The Ming are most commonly know for beginning the production of the Great Wall of China. They did this to "protect" themselves from the Mongols but really they wanted to flaunt their power. Like the Ming, we created a great monument to the Sun God, Inti, in out capital. This monument is over 30 ft tall and is made of pure gold. We as an empire, did this because we wanted everyone to know when they enter our capital, that we are wealthy and powerful. Also right behind the statue is a giant temple dedicated to Inti and our religion. This temple took 10 years to build and is the greatest temple the world will see for the next 500 years. We did this because after our civilization withered away, we want people to know what our religion stood for and that the Sun Wizards were a truly powerful empire.
