Quetza
Quetza was a Temple-city of the Lizardmen in Lustria.[1a] [2a]
History
It was one of second wave of Temple-cities to be created by the Third Spawning of the Slann along with Tlaxtlan and Zlatlan but after Itza, the First City. [2c]
Following the collapse of the Warp Gates, the city was levelled by Daemons using the sonic barrage of a billion slain souls. [3a]
In -1399 IC, Clan Pestilens occupied the ruined city.[2b]
The city was besieged by Skaven when Tehenhauin, the Prophet of Sotek led a small group of trusted disciples into the jungle nearby. When he returned he was mounted on a great Stegadon with a Engine of the Gods. With this mighty war machine, he quickly destroyed hundreds of rat-spawn in an instant. [1a]
Clan Pestilens abandoned the city and retreated to the Old World. [2b]
Quetza, now known as the Defiled City was watched by the Skinks in case the Skaven returned. In 2489 IC patrols began to go missing and the Astromancer Tetto'eko led a large army to the city, having foreseen the ratmens return. After a brutal battle, the Skaven were defeated, mostly through the predictions of Tetto'eko and the survivors pursued into the jungle where they were devoured. [3b]
Thanquol is dispatched to the city with a Clan Eshin force to the city by their Nightlord Sneek to kill the Prophet of Sotek, Xiuhcoatl [4a] who had errected a new Pyramid to his god and created new spawning pools in the city. [4b]
