| - Bolontiku's successors were all shadows of the former emperor himself. Although they were good rulers who improved the standard of living amongst the Maya, they offered no great victories to enhance national prestige. But along came Emperor Huup Bolontiku II. He arrived in power as just a boy, in 1435 A.D. By that time, the nobles and kings of each individual city-states had taken over in all but name. They each thought that if they could push around grown men, a boy would be easy. But Bolontiku II was not just a boy. He established control and crushed several rebellions that the nobles he disliked had started. He reorganized the royal navy, which had fallen into disrepair, and sent them across the Atlantic. If they returned without finding a new land, the crew would be executed.

Although they were good rulers who improved the standard of living amongst the Maya, they offered no great victories to enhance national prestige. But along came Emperor Huup Bolontiku II. He arrived in power as just a boy, in 1435 A.D. By that time, the nobles and kings of each individual city-states had taken over in all but name. They each thought that if they could push around grown men, a boy would be easy. But Bolontiku II was not just a boy. He established control and crushed several rebellions that the nobles he disliked had started. He reorganized the royal navy, which had fallen into disrepair, and sent them across the Atlantic. If they returned without finding a new land, the crew would be executed. After about a month of traveling, the crew decided they would never find a new land. They decided that when they returned to the Mayan Empire, they would lie that they had found a new land. So in 1447 A.D., the crewman returned to Emperor Bolontiku II claiming that they had discovered a far off land of many strange inhabitants. The Emperor believed them, and the following year launched a fleet to go and conquer the new land. He personally led the expedition to this land, which he named Aztlan (OTL Africa), in the belief that it was where the Aztecs had come from. It took roughly 5 months to reach Aztlan, during which 3 mutinies nearly broke out. Only the lie that there was land out there kept them going. That along with Bolontiku II's pure brutality. But after a long journey, they finally arrived in the Marinid Kingdom.
