It has now been some years since our ancestors shook off the yoke of our former overlords in Azcapotzalco and instead expanded their influence throughout the neighboring city-states. Since then the power of our people has grown significantly and by now our state controls key locations in the valley of Mexico. The city-states under our rule still remember that we were all equals not so long ago and it is uncertain how far we can trust their loyalties. As it is every ruler's task to build a new stage of the Great Pyramid of Tenōchtitlan we have an excellent opportunity to try the loyalty of our subjects. Any subject city that contributes to the project will be too preoccupied to revolt and any that refuses will have shown its worth and can be punished.

8historical_info = flavor_azt.70.historical_infoAt the center of Tenochtitlan, the Huēyi Teōcalli stands as a towering symbol of Mexica devotion and power. Constructed in stages from the 14th century onward, it features dual stairways leading to separate temples: one for Huitzilopochtli, the god of war, the other for Tlaloc, the god of rain and fertility. Nearby stands a shrine to Ehecatl, the wind god. The temple would go on to become an imposing feature of the city's sacred heart, where priests perform sacrifices and ceremonies to sustain cosmic order.
