History
The Aztec Warriors that have captured at least four enemies could apply for Eagle Knighhood or Jaguar Knighthood. The main intrest of capturing them instead of killing them respond to the sacrifices the Aztecs practice. But the Jaguar Knights were also known for their excellence in battle with the mortal hits of the obsidian swords. If a Warrior caused confusion or disorder in the lines, he was santionced in the moment with severe hits or even death.

The Outfit for Eagle Runners were mainly a featheread cloths, and a helmet that resemble the head of an Eagle. The Eagle represented the sun, the pillar of worship and sacrifices for the Aztec. Contrary to the Jaguar Knights, Eagle Runners were equiped with spears
