The Maztica Trilogy is a set of 3 fantasy novels set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy role-playing game. The series were written by Douglas Niles, and the books are: * ''Ironhelm'' (1990) * ''Viperhand'' (1990) * ''Feathered Dragon'' (1991) The books are essentially a translation of the Spanish conquest of what is now Mexico in the 16th Century to the Forgotten Realms world. The name 'Maztica' is itself a portmanteau of "Maya" and "Aztec", two major civilizations in Central America. The plot of the trilogy closely follows real-life events. The main character, Cordell, is similar in name to real-life conquistador Hernán Cortés. The states of Maztica resemble the Aztecs and other mesoamericans in that * they have Stone Age technology * they worship many gods and offer human sacrifices * they build large stone pyramids * there is a warrior class with particular uniforms * there is one powerful civilization dominating the continent, from which some tribes are independent and others subjugated The principal difference is the existence of magic in the ''D&D'' fantasy world. ==External links== * http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org&q=Maztica+Trilogy&submit=Search * http://www.o-love.net/realms/head_maz.html 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maztica Trilogy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
