Mexica Warrior (5e Class)

Mexica Warrior

A "Mexican warrior" typically refers to an Aztec warrior, particularly from the elite ranks known as "Eagle Warriors" or "Jaguar Warriors", who were highly trained fighters within the Aztec military, often adorned with symbolic attire representing their respective animal, and known for their bravery and skill in battle; the term "Mexican" here generally relates to the pre-colonial Mesoamerican culture of the Aztec people in what is now Mexico

Who were the Mexica

The Mexica are a Nahuatl-speaking people of the Valley of Mexico who were the rulers of the Triple Alliance, more commonly referred to as the Aztec Empire. The Mexica established Tenochtitlan, a settlement on an island in Lake Texcoco, in 1325. A dissident group in Tenochtitlan separated and founded the settlement of Tlatelolco with its own dynastic lineage. In 1521, their empire was overthrown by an alliance of Spanish conquistadors and rival indigenous nations, most prominently the Tlaxcaltecs. The Mexica were subjugated under the Spanish Empire for 300 years, until the Mexican War of Independence overthrew Spanish dominion in 1821. In the 21st century, the government of Mexico broadly classifies all Nahuatl-speaking peoples as Nahuas, making the number of Mexica people living in Mexico difficult to estimate.

Since 1810, the name "Aztec” has been more common when referring to the Mexica and the two names have become largely interchangeable.[5] When a distinction is made, Mexica are one (dominant) group within the Aztecs.
