Huayna Capac is the eleventh rule of the Inca through the inheritance of the Incan laws. Capac was the owner of the land that was conquered, and as a result, he wanted to have more lands. He, therefore, launched campaigns against the tribe towards the eastern and northern empire. Unfortunately, the tribes were fierce fighters, and he has rebelled.

When the Incan reached the maxim of the Capac ruling, he decided to extend the empire towards the south, and the empire was named Ecuador.
