CHANCA 1350 AD - 1440 AD AND CANARI 1350 AD - 1470 AD
The Chanca or Chinchaysuyu were a loose confederation of Peruvian tribes that blocked the expansion of the Incas until subjugated and are included as contemporary enemies for them. They were armed with a long spear (repeatedly contrasted with shorter Inca weapons) used without a shield. The similarly armed Canari of Southern Ecuador also formed a loose confederation to resist the Inca, but submitted in 1470. Quechua were unenthusiastic allies of the Chanca, all with sling and club, but some also having a short spear. Canari can only be used by an entirely Canari army.
