Andes 03: Eastern Frontiers, Antisuyu Corridors, and Defensive Connectivity

Ancient Peru Research

The Andes were not only climate walls; they were frontier systems. Inka eastern sectors connected highland centers with forest margins through controlled corridors, where trade, diplomacy, and conflict coexisted. This gives your dragon metaphor a grounded historical edge.

Infrastructure was strategic defense. Roads, tampu logistics points, and mountain chokepoints helped project power and maintain exchange under difficult terrain. Pre-Inka corridor traditions were expanded into imperial-scale network governance.
