Temple Pyramid Base

Warriors like Ixta stand at this stone base of the towering Aztec temple pyramid, ready for summons. Tlotoxl's call echoes down from the platform above, pulling fighters upward through steep steps into combat. Ground-level shadows stretch across rugged flagstones, where the pyramid's mass looms overhead, heightening tension before ritual violence erupts higher up. Air carries distant chants; dust rises from hurried feet as authority demands ascent.
