Elder Montezuma arrived in his shuttle directly from the great palace courtyard in Tenochtitlan. Acompanied by two elabourately garbed and armed Jaguar and Eagle Warrior guards, he walked briskly down the corridor that led to the council chambers. As he entered his large, green-feathered crown brushed the high lintel of the door, while his large guards stood either side of the entrance, holding their macuahuitl sword and tepoztopilli spear respectively, in a ready stance.
He moved to the large table in the centre of the room and sat down upon a intrecately carved and decorated grey granite stool, placing a large, feather-adorned ceremonial macuahuitl sword on the table. He then sat back with his arms crossed and looked around at the other parties assembled.
