The Fair God; or, The Last of the 'Tzins: A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico Produced by KD Weeks, Juliet Sutherland and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Fair God; or, The Last of the 'Tzins: A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico" by Lew Wallace is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during the critical period of the Aztec Empire's decline and the arrival of Spanish conquerors, primarily focusing on the lives of its characters amidst grand prophecies and cataclysmic change. The central figures include the noble 'tzin Guatamozin, a heroic and beloved Aztec chief, and Iztlil', a proud Tezcucan who holds animosity towards the king, Montezuma. The opening of the tale introduces us to a young traveler, presumably Hualpa, who is determined to seek his fortune in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. As he sets off through the scenic valley of Anahuac, he becomes embroiled in the excitement of an approaching celebration honoring Quetzal', the fair god, who is prophesied to return. Along his journey, he encounters merchants and warriors who discuss the anticipated combat event, thereby framing Hualpa’s aspirations against the backdrop of impending change. The ominous cultural tensions hint at the historical upheaval as the narrative unfolds towards the fateful day of sacrifice and struggle, paving the way for a rich exploration of Aztec culture and the collision with European forces.
