Collective of Plenty

The Collective of Plenty, or Teteocan, is one of the six tribes in Natlan. They can be found at the "Collective of Plenty" besides the Great Volcano of Tollan in Atocpan. Their current chief is Acatl.

Overview

The Collective of Plenty are known for their bodybuilding competitions and contests of strength.^[1] Their fruit and vegetables are said to be the best in Natlan, due to their tribe being situated right by the Great Volcano of Tollan, where the soil is rich and fertile.^[2] They live the farthest from the Stadium of the Sacred Flame.^[3]

Some warriors of the Collective of Plenty specifically seek out wild Halberd-Crest Birds to see "whose head is harder," attempting to temper their own bodies through such competitions until they become as strong as steel.^[4] They also wrestle with their saurians, the Tatankasaurus, as it is a longstanding tradition in the tribe. Winning against them is considered a great honor.^[5]

Physical fitness is taken in high regard in the tribe; it is known to be a friendly gesture when young people show off their muscles, and fitness coaches have to be incredibly strong in order to be taken seriously. Due to this, many adults tend to have huge frames with large, well-developed muscles.^[6]

Their current chief is Acatl.^[7]

Etymology

• Like the other known tribes, Teteocan is likely derived from Ilhuicatl-Teteocan, one of the Aztec Thirteen Heavens.
  • Ilhuicatl-Teteocan (Nahuatl: Ilhuicatl "heaven;" teteo "gods;" can "place") means "the heaven that is the place of the gods."
  • Ilhuicatl-Teteocan was the abode of the gods, and was ruled by the four Tezcatlipocas: Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Xipe Totec and Huitzilopochtli.
