Temple Courtyard

Open stone-paved courtyard adjacent to the Aztec temple's Warriors Hall serves as the site for public displays of obedience to Yetaxa. Autloc commands Ixta here to release the old man—the Doctor—under Barbara's divine pretense, easing immediate execution threats amid priestly tensions. Sky arches above unyielding flagstones, where orders echo and guards enforce releases, underscoring fragile power balances between tradition and perceived godly will.
