Inca Empire Postal Service

The Inca Empire included among it's citizens the handsome, fast and nimble mailmen of the Inca Empire Postal Service (IEPS); a carrier that predated the United States Postal Service by a few centuries. Incas preffered tying knots to writing letters, but knots didn't make great devices to write home with, so an Incan sent a letter by telling the mailman the contents of the letter. The mailman then ran like hell to get to the recipient before he forgot it.

IEPS Creed: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Forgetfulness or Mail-Man-Eating-Llamas:


Unfortunately the motto didn't anticipate European germs or Francisco Pizarro, and after the former arrived followed soon after by the latter the IEPS was made defunct.

Since then attempts have been made to get the IEPS up and running again. But it's yet to return to it's former glory, which means I can't send packages to Lizette because the chances of the package actually getting to her are not that great.
