Guardian of Lore - Aztec Temple

This background was designed for Guardian of Lore's level based on the Birth of Huitzilopochtli legend (also known as Coatlicue and Coyolxhauqui).

It is mostly based on reconstructions from Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan, which was the most important Aztec temple, where the ancients worshipped Huitzilopochtli (god of war) and Tlaloc (god of water, rains and fertility).

There were many variations in existing reconstructions for Huitzilopochtli's and Tlaloc's temples in Templo Mayor, so I designed my own version for Guardian of Lore.
