I hate this timeline.

I hope the nightmare fuel is enough to get Megaman built before 2040.
So the “Aztec” (Mixtec Pueblo culture) had two major calendars The Tonalpohualli (count of days or days count) and The Xiuhpohualli ( year count or fire count). The Tonalpohualli is a spiritual calendar used for ceremonies and augury, it consists of 20 signs each given a thirteen day week. I’ve heard it speculated that it has something to do with the observable time that a human takes to gestate during pregnancy, but that’s pure theory. The Xiuhpohualli is a 360 day count calendar with five extra days added to the end of the year (which were considered very unlucky). It was divided into 18 months that ran through the 20 day signs that the Spanish called a Veintena. This was used for feasts, holidays, and the planning of agriculture or war during the two major seasons (wet season and dry season). The two calendars would align every 52 years that culminated into a huge celebration called Toxhiuhmolpilia (New Fire Ceremony).
The birds (and technically one butterfly) refer to the actual numeric days one through thirteen in each given day (count the red dots). Not to go too much into details, but the birds were anthropomorphized into character traits that were associated with a person depending on which day they were born. The cultural context is pretty esoteric, but an example would be a person born on 13 would be wise because Toznene (parrot) looked bald. I have also read that the birds would act as a psychopomp on the occasion of one’s personal death (apparently having corresponding red dots as their day) to fly off and deliver the part of the soul that leaves the mortal realm to a designated after life determined by circumstances of one’s death.
Bolts of cotton too. Or maybe some jade or obsidian.
It’s part of one of the more complete codices. It’s post-conquest but anything from around that time that survived is precious.
Oh this is my jam. So in Nahuatl the beginning of the Trecena is Ce Ollin which is one movement/quake which ends in Mahtlactli Omei Atl thirteen water. Teteoh are assigned to Ihiyotl ( with a day bird to present) and Teyollia soul designations for management. These designations are assigned through the holy 260 day calendar year via patterns in the calendar. I love this stuff.

Then make sure that whatever you do, execute it well.
Oh they’re great characters and well written. I just don’t like them though. I can’t justify my tastes.
I find all the party members insufferable. I change their classes almost immediately for better synergy or I switch them out for the soulless NPC’s Withers has. Ironically, I’ve been D&D 5E Dungeon Master numerous times and I find the party members to be absolutely authentic characters real people would play. Good work Larian, ya made the characters so table top believable that I want to find a new group to play with.
I needed to see this today.
No matter how old I get I still love PB&J.
If they brought back the motor cycle those kids would have been fucked.
If the stratagem was more appealing I wonder if those orphans would have been left to die.
