Overview[]

The Taino[]

The Taino were a group of Arawak people who lived in the Caribbean. They were the principal inhabitants of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. The Taino were a generally peaceful people whose only conflict was with the neighboring Carib people of the Lesser Antilles. Most Taino people were wiped out by disease, forced labor, and war after the Spanish arrived in the Caribbean.

Agüeybaná II[]

Agüeybaná II, along with his brother Agüeybaná I, were the two most powerful Caciques on the island of Boriken (Puerto Rico). After his brother's death in 1510, Agüeybaná II became the sole leader of the Taino and lead a rebellion against the Spanish in 1511. The rebellion collapsed with Agüeybaná's death, but he continues to be an inspiration to other Taino people.

Dawn of Man[]

May the gods bless you o great Cacique! You ruled over the Taino of the island of Boriken, now Puerto Rico, alongside your brother Agueybana I until his death in 1510, upon which you became the single most powerful cacique among the Taino. Although your people initially received the Spanish with hospitality and respect, you felt distrust towards Ponce de Leon and his men. Thus, you organized secret war meetings with fellow caciques, ultimately culminating in the Great Taino Rebellion of 1511. Although you lost your life in the rebellion and your people were unable to defeat the superior forces of the Spanish, your efforts are still legendary to this day. You are held as a hero by both the Native Peoples of the Americas and the peoples of the Caribbean to this day. Your fearless efforts to save your people from oppression have truly earned you the title "The Brave."

O mighty Agueybana II, your people call for your leadership again. Can you protect their religious and societal traditions from enemies and institutions hostile to them? Can you defend your islands from the greed of colonialism? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?

Introduction: Greetings foreigner. I am Agueybana II, cacique of the Taino. My people extend their hospitality towards you as long as you remain loyal to us.

Defeat: We fought as valiantly as we could yet it was not enough. Be gentle with my people.
