The New Aztec Emperor

Cualcoatl stood by his mother's side as they watched the previous Aztec Emperor's corpse be lit aflame. The entire city of Tenochtitlan had come out to watch the funeral ceremony of the man who had led them to conquer all their neighbors. 

By now, the Aztec Empire housed not only the surviving natives from North America but also those who had endured the conquests of the German Army and been pushed out of their homes in most of South America, as well. 

It was a massive native Empire, where various tribes and ethnic groups had gathered in one Kingdom. The world had so rapidly changed in the past few decades with the white man coming across the sea and bringing with them weapons of war which the natives could simply not comprehend.
