I'll post the short version now, since I know I'll miss the deadline if I wait:
Eazulotl will join his house with House Sparthage, creating House Greythage.
Ebzulotl will give 6 Food to Captain Tonauac.
Eczulotl will toil.
Edzulotl will move to hex 1-NE (and become Joatzli’s tenant).

Oh, and in case it wasn't obvious, I want both of my characters to toil.

Hey, willing to have a new member? I am not able to receive or send PMs or join the social group until Saturday, though.
If I am welcome, I will call myself Acalan, create House Coatl, and work in a random square.

Here's the long version of House Grey(thage)'s actions, for those who still care to read. Boiled-down actions are unchanged from above.
And welcome, Acalan! May the gods guide your path to prominence in Aztlan. Don't forget to submit an action for this session, as you still have time. If you're starting on a random hex, then toil is a good place to start. And if you want a little oomph in the right direction, I'd recommend starting on the furs or the western gems, rather than tossing the dice for a random square.
Without further ado:
*****
Lieutenant Sparthage had spent his entire leave in the Sunrise Forest. It was a favorable arrangement: he enjoyed their way of life, and the addition of such a prestigious soldier to the forests ranks also gave them a certain legitimacy among the other tribes. Eczulotl had also taken to him quickly, and he to her; they had become a pair, or as much a pair as any two in the Sunrise Forest. Together, they worked the land and grew ever closer, spending an idyllic season together.
Some months since the Jaguars had come to Tenochtitlan, Sparthage lounged in the midday sun with a group of his followers. Eczie, who had been away for a few days, jogged in towards him. Her brothers Ebzu and Edd followed her.
Eczie, where you have been? he said. Ive missed you terribly, and I havent been able to keep your friends off of me. I fear I might have deflowered them while you were gone.
Eczie smiled sardonically. Youre a good man, Sparthage, but a liar. Anyone advancing on Sparthage in her absence would have had to answer to her -- and no one would have dared do that. Get your things together. We have an appointment.
What do you mean? he asked.
Ive been off visiting my father. The entire group was shocked. Eczie hadnt spoken to her father since she left home. Were getting married, Sparthage.
Excuse me? Sparthage was confused. You and I are getting married?
Yes. I guess I must have forgotten to tell you before I left. She said. Youre going to have a son.
Er...Do I get any say in this?
Eczies brothers laughed. You can pick the name if you want, said Ebzu.
---
...And when the sun rises tomorrow, calling the Jaguars to the field, may the gods protect you. In the eyes of Tlaloc and the other gods, I hereby join our houses, Grey and Sparthage. Henceforth, we are House Greythage. A round of applause erupted as Eazu finished his speech, sealing the marriage between his newly-reconciled daughter and his new son-in-law.
The feast which followed, nominally for Quetzalcoatl but in reality for the wedding, went as well as such feasts always did. And as always, Eazu spent the majority of the evening in greetings and farewells. As soon as he was finished saying hello to all the tribe members who wished to salute him, night had fallen and some had begun to leave. Such was the life of the chieftan.
The last guest to leave was Captain Tonauac of the Jaguars, who was given a stash of yilfruit for himself as the second half of a deal made by Ebzulotl in the field. The Captain, in good humor, ordered Sparthage to sleep early that night so the Jaguars could leave at first light. Sparthage responded that the other soldiers should wait for him, as the barbarians to the north would cower in fear from such a strong and virile warrior as himself, and be ever more afraid of one who kept himself busier on his wedding night. Eazu didnt really get why it was funny, but laughed with the rest all the same. After Tonauac left, the gathered members of the now-joined House Greythage were all that remained.
Sparthage, I didnt get much chance to meet you, said Eazu, but if Eczie approves, then I truly welcome you, above all the pomp of this wedding. Let us, and your son to come, all labor for the good of our House and good of Aztlan.
Thank you, Eazulotl, Sparthage replied. Eczie has told me she learned all she knows from you. That she remembers what you have done, and always does the opposite. Eczulotl playfully shoved her husband in response.
None of them said it aloud, but Eazu could feel the bittersweet sentiment in the air. After tonight, Sparthage and Ebzu would return to the field to fight, and although blessed by Hutzilopochtli, some of the warriors would never return. Eczie would return to the forest, and despite his reconciliation with her Eazu knew she would not return to the lands of the Yilfruit with any regularity. Even Edd would be leaving, although he did not know it yet. This, the first night of House Greythages history, could easily be the last time House Greythage ever gathered in the same place.
As the family dispersed soon after, Eazu called his youngest son aside to speak privately.
Edd, he said.
Yes, father.
You have stayed by my side here among the Yilfruit as none other would. You are loyal and true.
I stay for my duty, father. You know that.
But you will not any longer. In the morning, you must leave with your brothers and your sister.
To join the Jaguars, like Ebzu?
No. Follow them only past the pyramid, and into the lands owned by Joatzli. There, you must stay and work as his tenant. He paused, but Edd said nothing. You deserve to know, I have not sold or traded you here--
Father, there is no need to explain. I will do as you say.
This is part of a wider plan. Eazu, Joatzli, and an envoy from Cuautlequetzqui had discussed and finalized the deal that evening. Once realized, it would mean more prosperity for all of Aztlan. Trust, Edd, that I only want success for you, our house, and all our people.
I trust you, father. The gods guide your judgment. I will go.
The next morning, Eazu and Matlan said farewell to all their children, who sent off towards the pyramid on the horizon. When his children had disappeared into the jungle, Eazu had a pang of sorrow that the world was moving past him.
Greybeard indeed, he thought.

In the afternoon of the Festival of Quetzalcoatl, the 1st Company moved out. I could see Liutenant Sparthage hurry after the troops, buckling his breeches. When the dust had cleared, I saw a peasant standing before me. He had been there for quite a while, I think, waiting patiently. Despite my cheerful mood, I mustered a frown and addressed him: “And what do YOU want?”
He said meekly: “I am Acalan, a simple peasant, come to the City looking for work. O mighty Tlatoani, I seek for your guidance in this endeavor.”
Something in his demeanor touched me and I saw here an opportunity that never had been presented to me before. As Tlatoani, of course the service of the people was there for me. My servants had somehow appeared to tend to my needs, and it seemed that they had found a desirable position in society by being associated with my House albeit as just servants. But I never had had something that the Yilfruit and Gem Citizlan had: a Tenant. So I said to Acalan: “You seem like an honest man, but you must earn my trust. I will give you an offer: You can stay in the City and be my Tenant, and Toil for me. In return I shall see that you are treated well. You can start by pitching up a dwelling at the back of the Palace, and then see what the garden needs for better production. And, if you have a chance, I would like you to join me in the following order I am giving: Produce a Jaguar Unit.”
Acalan agreed to become my Tenant for the time being and backed out of my sight. I saw a little boy running after him and realized that it was Sparthage's son, Leonidas, who ended up as my Tenant as well.
I looked on the Palace steps and there was Ipalnemoani, with four of my servants holding Prinz von Perzien. The servants strapped Prinz on the obsidian stone so that his head was jutting out of the hollow in the middle. With little ceremony, Ipalnemoani chanted a prayer to Quetzalcoatl, and the next I saw was a flash of the setting sun reflecting from the pitch black blade of the great axe, and Prinz von Perzien’s head rolled down the Palace steps, bouncing on its way, finally landing at my feet. I thought to myself: “Poetic justice, at its best, but my reward for it is yet to come.”

OOC: Well I just don't have an opportunity to do this later. If you want to do the story, go ahead, this is just my POV of it. Anyway, you already gave the order and there is very little that can change what happens.
you could always just cut short your story with me holding the knife over the heart just about to cut it out as an offering to Quetzalcoatl, leaving me to savour my veangance once its actually achieved.
