Chesapeake Development
While the New Huritians were creating another Empire for themselves the State of Chesapeake was influencing the small tribes near the coasts. Their favorites were the Shinnecock and Montaukett on and around the Island of Paumanock (Long Island, NY). While the tribes in the northeast were fighting almost constantly, the Chesapeake were creating allies with their smaller neighbor tribes. The Wappinger on the land north of Paumanock as well as the Southern parts of the tribes of what is in OLT Central New York and Norther Pennsylvania were becoming strongly influenced by the large Chesapeake State. South of the Chesapeakes there were notably large tribes such as the Tuscarora and the Weapemeoc as well as the Tutelo and Powhatan.

The Chesapeake would also create several advancements in technology, some of which would spread to the people of the Great Lakes. Among them was the wheel and the chariot, which was an adaptation of the wheelbarrow, an invention intended for farming and hauling of grains and other crops. Looking into the types of wood which would make the strongest and best bows would also be a task which the Chesapeake would stumble upon accidentally.

This era of peace would not be interrupted until in the year 1291 (538 AD) when the Totelo and the Powhatan came together and made the first war ever seen by the Chesapeake people directly.

The Totelo-Powhatan
Though their name usually emphasised their chiefdom’s dual nature, it was undoubtedly dominated by the Powhatan and can be referred to as Powhatan. The Chariots and Arrows of the Chesapeake were very interesting to these hunting focused people. The increase not only in their meat gathering but also in their killing ability allowed the Powhatan to subjugate their smaller neighbor and gained them a tributary which would prop up the warriors they were trying to build.

The mythology of the Chiefs of Old Hurit, like Abukcheech and his army, were not unknown to the Powhatan. Though the Chesapeake had rejected that as their foundation the thought of conquest of their neighbors and the gathering of their resources tantalized the Powhatan. When this state was starting to grow, during the conflict between the Totelo and Powhatan, they did not go unnoticed in the cities of the Chesapeake.

By the time they were consolidated in the year 1289 (536 AD) the Totelo-Powhatan were building up as many arrows and chariots as they could, especially from their Totelo subjects, who were little more than slaves. They were not going to make the conflict easy for the Chesapeake, being a larger and older state.
