About the Chimú campaigns, here may be some ideas:
- The Foundation of the Chimú Empire by the conquests of Tacaynamo, which could take elements from the myth of Naylamp (It is believed that Tacaynamo and Naylamp are actually the same king due to the great historical similarities), could start from the fall of the Wari Empire until the conquest of the Lambayeque Kingdom.
Jerry D. Moore’s timeline with C.J Mackey can be used for reference:
- 1st Consolidation of control over the Moche-Chicama-Virú valleys (900-1200 AD)
- 2nd North Expansion to the Jequetepeque Valley (1320 AD)
- 3rd Expansion to the Casma Valley (1350 AD)
- 4th North expansion from Jequetepeque to the La Leche valley (1360-1400 AD)
- 5th Influence on Tumbes (some time before 1450 AD)
- The Inca-Chimú war: It is believed that it can last up to 8 years and it was possibly the most deadly war in Pre-Columbian America. The main battles were those of Paramonga and the siege of Chan Chan, the Incas never managed to conquer Chan Chan, however the Chimús had to capitulate because the Incas cut off the flow of fresh water.
- Probably the least popular, the Chimú Rebellion during the arrival of Spain.
