The Great Tenochtitlan is on fire.
Like many of us, I do not support what the caste of barbarian priests has been doing to us for years.
Newcomers from the new world decided to put an end to blood sacrifices by allying themselves with the nearby tribes.
Now that the war has broken out, I must choose
whether I will join the compatriots and repel the invader
or the newcomers who want to liberate us from the priests who kill our own brothers and children.
It is the jungle that will allow me to prepare myself.
I know these areas. It is my home. The place where I grew up.
I will use whatever the gods send me.
I wasn't born a warrior, but for a proper sacrifice,
Huītzilōpōchtli - the lord of war, and Quetzalcoatl - the great teacher,
will lead me to become as silent as a serpent, as strong as a jaguar, and as swift as an eagle
Sounds awful anyways. You're basically playing as a comprador? And the whole thing is entirely whitewashing imperialism?
Wouldn't be surprised if it was made by Spanish people.

This is the most Enlightened Centrist bullshit version of the Spanish invasion I have ever read, and that's saying a lot. :guts-rage:

This has always been the most baffling fantasy literature trope to me. It usually takes someone a major life event - or coming into deep contact with another religion - to have a years long crisis of faith, especially in eras prior to the Enlightenment when atheism really hit the scene.
Yet always the main character - who comes from a religious culture, has been deeply seeped in the religious culture from birth, has known nothing else but that - is some enlightened gentleman who's above it all and above those ghastly corrupt/evil priest classes.
