Yeah, already Monday here in Europe, so have the page :)

You don't know how much research I did to settle on the location of Mic's temple. I got myself a great book, that provides me wonderful pictures and informations of the Templo Mayor. Since I want to stick to actual facts as far as they let me, but there seems to have been no single temple dedicated to Mictlantecuhtli. There are the skull racks, and the most famous statue of him was found in the House of Eagles, which was dedicated to Huitzilopochtli (the war and sun god of the Aztecs).
So... there is this little temple north of the House of Eagles, that has no info and I simply claimed it to be Mic's temple in my story :P
Also, you totally have to ignore the view Metz has on the first pages of chapter 1... I didn't have the book back then and generally hadn't planned the locations like I have now, so it's all imaginary back on those pages... ^^;

The structure you see on the right of the temple in the second panel is the House of Eagles. Itztli is on his way across the main plaza, passing the big pyramid with the main temples on his left and is heading over to... hah! The clever ones of you will surely figure it out. ;)
