IOTL, something similar really did happen with the Yucatan Peninsula. A Spanish conquistador asked about the name of a settlement, a Mayan responded "I don't understand," the Spanish thought he said Yucatan, and that's how the peninsula got its name.

Huzzah! It is back!
MAY THE RAINBOW BANNER FLY UNDER INTI'S GRACE. MAY HIS PEOPLE FOREVER REIGN.
Though this does make me wonder if the future Inka might instead create alternate flags and symbolisms that are intentionally opposite to Andalusian designs, just to further differentiate themselves. It'll be something to see Andean flags like the ones below flying high in times of battle.

Could smth along the line of cape coloreds form ittl? Will their be interbreeding between kohisan and berbers?
Yes they considered themselvs Rhomanoi(that is arabic for the Eastern Romans) and their sucessors even with a lot of turkish influence
Knowing How Muslim Interbreeding, with Muslim taking some Kohisan wives/concubines so yeah might happen very easily unlike otl boers
I'm so happy that you are back.
I have a question ,is Iberia going to be united under one state or are we seeing al-andalus maximum expansion on iberia?
also I'm very interesting to see what the English are doing after they acquired informations about the new world

ACT VIII Part XXI: Map of the Pearl Islands, Anawak and Tirunah in the 1460s

Here's a look at Anawak and the Pearl Islands in the 1460s.
The influence of the Otomi and various Sufis and fortune-seekers has borne fruit: The Mixtecs and the leaders of Zapotlan have nominally converted to Islam, several cities have fallen to warlords (including the Huastec region), and the Chichimeca are beginning to convert. Holdouts include the Mexihca, the southern Maya and most of the chieftains of the Mosquito Coast. Also notable is that the first permanent settlement north of Anawak and the islands has been established around OTL Mobile, Alabama.

A beautiful map thank you very much for the effort you are doing for us the Reader's
If I remember correctly a bunch of Berber exiles got shipwrecked on the island and formed alliance or pact of coexistence with the local natives, don't think we've heard much from them since, either they rule the island or they assimilated into the native culture since there was less than a hundred of them, perhaps a sort of Taino-Berber kingdom?
Another amazing map buddy, so well done, looks straight in-universe
Always love a map, question though. Are Los Jardinas de la Reina supposed to be colored different/under a different policial entity than the rest of the Caribbean or is that just how the map rendered them?
that map is fully glorious, i am in literal awe. At the same time though its a shame about the mixtecs, i was gunning for a non muslim plurality for a while at least. Oh well- can I ask whether the otl maghrebi near obsession with the shurafa is developing? otl in the fifteenth century, it was still relatively weak compared to how strong it would become by the 18th century when rule by non-shurafa is inherently illegitimate, but is it still the case that a sultan who isn't perceived as materially supporting the descendants of the prophet is likely to suffer challenges to his rule?
Wait, is the Mexihca kingdom to the west the Mexica/Aztecs of OTL? If so, that is one great detour they have made! Whatever the case, it seems like their hegemony is now being short-circuited by the number of nominally-Islamized Mesoamerican states surrounding them. I shudder to think what'll happen once the Guachilchil gets used to Old World horses... 
And Tzintzuntzan nooooo!! I was hoping for the Purepechas to be a separate state unto themselves. Guess the Otomi alliance is really stronger than it looks.
