The Mictecas
Every God has its servants.
Xochiquetzal had an entourage of minions that liven up his celestial court;
Tlaloc had his loyal Tlaloques who could send down to the earth different kinds of rain, and Mictlantecuhtli… had the Mictecas.
The Mictecas were the first inhabitants of Mictlan, the most loyal lieutenants of the lord of the dead. They were the agents of the underworld, in charge of preventing anyone from leaving the world of Mictlan. Mictecas devoured the dead on their way to the nine regions of Mictlan, they were also the ones who would go to battle when their god commanded them.
Are you willing to fight the terrible legions of Mictlantecuhtli?
