Mictlan is technologically not especially strong, relying heavily on obsidian rather than steel, and slings instead of bows. It is, however, magically quite dangerous, and also has some quite significant sacred troops and priests. Mictlan is a tribal society, and tribal kings have been known to recruit slave levies for the empire. | Mictlan is technologically not especially strong, relying heavily on obsidian rather than steel, and slings instead of bows.

In general, the Aztec system of beliefs is a rather bloodly one. For example, it was customary for the empire's capital, Tenochtitlan, to offer daily human sacrifice to its patron deity of Huitzilopochtli. Huitzilopochtli's domains included both Sun and War, and with a number of deities demanding human sacrifice, the drive for prisoners of war ensured that both were nigh equally common. Tournaments offered some prisoners, while wars against neighboring tribes provided both -- but in the end, these same wars gave reason for the other tribes to join with Cortez in the latter's march towards Tenochtitlan. | In general, the Aztec system of beliefs is a rather bloodly one.
