How to make first contact: turn strangers at your gate into friends, not enemies.
Day 47 in Tollan, the Season 2 finale. The four travelers are at your gate. Your first idea is to shoot first, like enemies in a game. But there are four of them, and a whole town behind them. Start a fight, and it never ends.
1. Meet them outside your gate, so you have somewhere safe to step back to.
2. Set your bow down where they can see it.
3. Show your empty hands, move slowly, and stop a few steps away.
4. Bring a gift: smoked fish from your trap.
5. Eat some first, so they know it's safe.
6. Tap your chest and say your name. Her name is Itzel.
7. Point at things, trade words, and say them back.
8. Show her your iron knife, handle first. She shows you hers. Her town makes better ones.
She points at your wall, your tower, and then far away, toward her town. She wants you to come. By sunset, you're sharing a fire instead of fighting.
That's first contact, done right. Season 2, complete.
