Capítulo 160: Chapter 97 Enthronement Ceremony: Rituals and Tributes, The Five Domains of Mexica_3

The Vastec were the most loyal vassals of the Empire. They cherished music, art, and dance, and were not adept at warfare. Due to settling in the warm tropical plains and their custom of scant clothing, the Vastec sent a tribute of one hundred young girls skilled in song and dance. The maidens wore simple attires that were blushingly revealing, adorned with tempting shell ornaments, walking with the rhythm and melody of music.

The Mistec were somewhere between loyalty and disloyalty. They were the people of the clouds, excelling in crafting exquisite gold and silver jewelry and were the finest precious metal artisans. The Mistec's tribute consisted of pure gold headbands, pure silver earrings, gilded stone tools, and gold and silver necklaces inlaid with turquoise.
