Atl turned, the eyes of the table were upon him. The Tlatoani was looking with intense eyes, then he nodded, as if coming to an internal conclusion. The man was at least twice Atl's age, perhaps fifty winters. His eye brows were still dark black with no hints of grey. Large jade plugs scratched with tiny symbols and drawings that Atl could not make out,hung in his ears. The Tlatoani wore a blue skullcap that covered his shaved head. It, along with the jade plugs, and the gold collar around his neck were enough to signify him as a high ranking caster. But it was the gold and jade signet ring on his left hand and the matching tattoo on his right hand that signified his as being touched by the Empress, as a Tlatoani.
