Editing Aztec (section)

==A Word of Caution==
Let's get something straight here: the Mesoamerican people suffered a lot of terrible shit at the hands of European settlers. There's no arguing with that. But that doesn't mean they couldn't also be dicks in their own right. And the fact that the Aztecs' own "empire" revolted to overthrow them '''by siding with the newly arrived Spanish Conquistadors''' to do this is damning evidence that they were a bunch of dangerous fanatics even by the standards of their own people. But since [[SJW]]s became a thing, it's become a risky gambit to ever have Mesoamerican-inspired characters or cultures in an antagonistic role, and the Aztecs are no exemption. Basically it's best to follow the "Don't Beat Downwards" rule. If you team comes across a powerful or long lived Aztec empire go nuts. If your party are heroic white people from overseas fighting savages who throw rocks as they storm the palace with guns...Might want to step back a bit.
