The Inca class structure was a very simple system. It included the emperor, the nobles, and the commoners. At the top was the emperor, or, further known by his name, the Sapa Inca, he ruled all of the Inca society and was believed to have descended from Inti, their sun god. He was married to Coya, his sister, for the sake of keeping the god blood pure. From his children he chose a heir that would take over his role in the future. Next, on the social pyramid was the nobles. There were three different types of nobles in the Inca civilization, the Capac Incas, the Hahua Incas, and the Curacas Incas. Each were believed to be relatives of the Sapa Inca, and were all know for great power. The Curaca Incas were always the ones to rule the people of conquered land. Which is next, the commoners. They are at the very bottom of the social structure because the Incas did not have slavery as other civilizations have. Most commoners worked as farmers or herders, providing all the food for the whole empire.
