Member of the Nobility
Niltze, Mictlaners!
(Niltze means “hello” in náhuatl, the ancient Mexica language).
As you know, we are constantly creating new characters that will populate the vast open world of Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale. Today we want to show you a member of the nobility.
The high-class society generally lived in the royal palaces, helping in the temples or working as advisors on politics and military matters for the Tlatoani. They also worked as judges and collected taxes, making sure to prevent fights and disputes in markets.
Some members of the nobility also assisted the priests in the calmecac (a school for the sons of Aztec nobility) teaching to children. Others, who were war veterans, helped train the new warriors in the telpochcalli (where Aztec youth were educated, from age 15, to serve their community and for war).
The mexica society was very advanced for its time, that's why we want to portray the cultural features of that society and of the people who lived in ancient Mexico, hoping to bring some aspects of the Mexican culture to a wider audience.
NOTE: All models we present are not the finalized versions, they are still WIP.
It would help us immensely if you decide to sign up to our Kickstarter campaign.
In order to launch the campaign, we need at least 20k people to register to the page. It literally takes a minute to do so, but it would mean the world to us.
