	Nahuatl politeness is to call adult men ''"pilli"'', or "gentleman". Adult women are referred to as ''"ciquapilli"'', or "lady". Old men are called ''colli'', or "grandfather", and old women called ''"cihtli"'', or "grandmother". Hence, a man named "Atl" would be referred to as ''"Pilli Atl"'' when being spoken to, and a woman named Xipil would be called ''"Ciquapilli Xipil"'' when being addressed.

	The land referred to as "Nahuatl" is known by many names. In [[Elvendeep\|Elven]] lore, it is known as Sinduil Alassesse, or "Land of a Thousand Jungles". In the tongue of the [[Zul Kiras\|Orcs]], it is known as the "Savage Land". The [[Alesian Imperium\|Alesian]] explorer Etaudus 'the Green' Sceptimo referred to it as the "Heart of Darkness" in his travel journals. The natives call their land simply "Nahuatl", which translates to, roughly, "domain of the blessed".		The land referred to as "Nahuatl" is known by many names.

	Nahuatl is a land of jungles and deserts, located far to the ~~west~~ of [[Arangoth]]. It is a place where great cities rise out of the most inhospitable mountains and thick jungle. It is a nation of great, eternal traditions, where failure to obey the will of the gods is to invite the end of the world itself. It is a constantly in flux, where loyalty shifts and flows with a plan seemingly understood only by the gods themselves. It is a land of both utter barbarity and high civilization.

	At first glance, one might think Nahuatl a backward and barbaric country. Nothing could be further from the truth. Despite their apocolyptic, bloody religion and feudal politics, Nahuatli civilization has produced many marvels not seen in other parts of the world. The fifty-four major cities of the nation are united in a complex road system that conquers some of the most hostile terrain in the world. A complex network of irrigation has prevented famines. Nahuatli herbalists and doctors are among the most learned in the world, able to treat all manners of conditions. Even dwarven visitors have (grudgingly) admitted that Nahuatli stonework, including the famous step-pyramids of Aachu Kachu, "has a few good qualities to it".

These noble houses are each named after a particular animal, which is seen as being the guiding spirit of the house's activities. The Houses are: Serpent, Eagle, Jaguar, Owl, Coyote, and Frog. Members of these noble houses are referred to as pipiltin, or Lords. Originally, the noble houses of Nahuatl were not hereditary and restricted, and if a Humec was sufficiently wealthy and well-connected, he might acquire Tutec status and join one of the High Houses. However, during the reign of the Tlahtoani Ceczuma nearly five hundred years ago, the Tlahtoani ruled that membership in the noble households was restricted only to those who had been born as a Tutec, and that those of Humec status could no longer advance to noble status.

	Most Humecs are born into families of poor laborers and remain so their entire lives. They enjoy no rights to speak of, and while not bound to the land as a serf might be, economic conditions often prevent them from ranging very far from their sources of work and support. Humecs are seen as inferiors to the Tutecs: where Tutecs are industrious, fastidious, honorable, and devoted to the state, Humecs are lazy, greedy, dishonest, and self-interested. This dichotomy extends even to how Nahuatl discuss appearances: Humecs are short, darker skinned, with flatter noses, thicker lips, shorter, more wiry hair, whereas Tutecs are tall, lighter skinned, more regal noses, thinner lips, and with flowing, dark hair. To outside observers this is baffling, and most foreign visitors remark that they honestly cannot tell the difference at a glance.
