the Kaya-Mutulese war of 1845, also known as the War of the Twin Gods, was fought in 1845 CE between the two Oxidentaleses theocracies of the Mutul and Kayahallpa. The war was part of a wider rivalry between the two states, dating back to the the Resurgence and the war of 1818, during which the Mutul had lost complete control over its southern neighbor, failed to prevent its unification under the Sapa Inka, and even lost many of its southern Provinces. In fact the recovery of these lost territory was the purported reason behind the war, and the reconquest of the entirety of the Kichwa-speaking area the Mutul' ultimate wargoal.
While the war was an overall victory for the Mutul and fixed the modern border between the two countries, the Mutuleses failed to regain many territories that had remained sympathetic or even faithful to the K'uhul Ajaw. Meanwhile, the Kayahallpa royal military placed the blame of the defeat in its report on the local elites and aristocraties, which they accused of not having helped the war effort as much as they should've. the Sapa Inka would spend the next decades consolidating his power at the expanse of said local elites.
