The temple at Tletna is probably the most famous of those dedicated to the Lizardman deity, Mic. He is also known as the Shape Changer by the skinks. This is a true name because as thought can take many forms, so can he. This specific god is often takes the shape of a sea serpent and thus is often correctly thought to be the brother of Sotek, the snake god. He is also associated with Tepoc though they are not the same. Mic is a somewhat darker god. Mic is most renowned as the god of thought and tactics, using his incredible wisdom to overcome enemies over the brute strength of the other gods. He often resides in the waters of the river Nictaniqua which translates to “River of Knowledge” in Saurian. The spawning pools of the great Slann Mage Priests are often mixed with this water to give those that are born from it a greater aptitude for magic. Lizardmen that worship this god are called Micai. Though most Lizardmen are against the Dark Elves and other races allied with them, Micai often follow the ideals of these groups and join with them. Mic will counsel these warriors and lead them to conquest of other lands. A saurus in the service of this god, is often recognized by dark blue and green scales, followed by a red loincloth. Generally the only skinks that follow Mic are chameleons and have mottled scales. Lizardmen with the blessing of Mic upon them will have a bright green mark upon them which symbolizes an aptitude in commanding warriors.
         The temple at Tletna was built by the kroxigors and thus a carving of one of their heads is mounted on highest peak. Micai believe that if the creators of a temple leave their mark then it have some form of protection. The carvings that decorate the top slab of stone represent the Micai on the opposite side a symbol for sacrifice is depicted. Inscriptions on the two walls are written in Saurian and read “Temple of Mic” and “God of Tactics”.
         Most temples paying homage to Mic reside by the water side so that he will be able to grant the requests of his followers. This temple is dedicated to sacrificial rites that honour Mic. The specifics to such ceremonies are shrouded in traditions that date back to before the creation of Itza. One such example is the Pre-Battle sacrifice. A nixitchi fish will be taken to a temple by the side of a river. There, a skink shaman will slit the stomach open using a coral knife. The insides will be removed and buried immediately. At that time, the fish will be stuffed with Itza grubs. The nixitchi fish will then be laid in the river where it will travel downstream. If the nixitchi floats then it is a portent of a victorious battle for the Lizardmen. On the other hand, if it sinks then the the army will face defeat. Generally, the temples of Mic are built by a river or lake so that sacrifices can be performed quickly and efficiently. Most involve running water such as the ceremony before a battle. After a victorious battle, the Micai must capture one of the enemy soldiers.  The prisoner must be tied down on an altar of stone so he cannot move.  A skink shaman must then perform the necessary sacrificial rituals to properly pay homage to Mic.  The shaman will take the coral dagger and make a vertical slice across the temples (or similar place on the species) and let the blood run into a bowl.  No drop may be spilled onto the altar.  Worshippers of Mic believe that the blood from this area transfers the mind of the prisoner into the bowl.  The blood must then be sprinkled into a river so that the mind and knowledge of the captive will be taken to Mic.  If the battle ends with defeat then the highest ranking officer (besides a Slann) must be sacrificed to Mic.

***Note: This document was half written as a joke.  I thought about it when the campaign started and my brother and I were making temples for terrain.  Mic offered as two victory points if we carved his name on it somewhere so that brought about this, the Temple of Mic.
