Genealogical Notes: Daughter of Moctezuma II and Princess Teotlalco. Half-sister of Don Pedro Moctezuma. Mother of Sebastián and Leonor Cortés.
Location: Machu Picchu; Urubamba, Cuzco, Peru
Guide: Ana Llaqta; Quechua Tour Guide
Difficulty: Hard
CONDITIONS
Four Common Jewels (Jade, Rubies, Seashells, and Tiger’s Eyes) plus Exclusive Iolites
LEVELS
Level 26-1
Squares (Expert): 49
Expert Alterations: N/A
Ana’s Comments: “A sort of early calendar called the Intihuatana stone has its home in Machu Picchu. Because the Spanish did not find Machu Picchu before the conquest, it was not destroyed as many other ritual stones in Peru were.”
Reward (Association): Don Pedro Piece #3 (Isabel’s half-brother)
Level 26-2
Squares (Expert): 73
Expert Alterations: N/A
Ana’s Comments: “No one can be quite sure what may have been pilfered from Machu Picchu over the centuries, but we do know that the people who resided here, the Inca, took great pride and care in their environment. This leads us to believe that a great many beautiful objects – even a Jewel Board – could have disappeared from this very place.”
Reward (Association): Don Pedro Piece #4 (Isabel’s half-brother)
Level 26-3
Squares (Expert): 78 (75)
Expert Alterations: C1, F2, and I1 Omitted
Ana’s Comments: “The Torreon, also known as “The Temple of the Sun”, is a semi-circle of granite block. It is composed of highly polished polyhedrons. It is said that there were once gold and precious jewels encrusted in the ruins. The patterns found in the temple are, indeed, quite similar to those found in the design of the Golden Jewel Board.”
Reward (Association): Don Pedro Piece #5 (Isabel’s half-brother)
Level 26-4
Squares (Expert): 73 (70)
Expert Alterations: B2, E3, and H2 Omitted
Ana’s Comments: “When you set off on the next leg of your journey, be sure to keep a close watch on all of the artifacts and notes that you’ve accumulated along the way. If anyone is watching you, this would be the time when they’d likely try to steal your findings. You are so very close to reclaiming that Golden Jewel Board!”
Reward (Association): Teotlalco Piece #1 (Isabel’s mother)
Level 26-5
Squares (Expert): 65 (59)
Expert Alterations: C2, C4, C5, G2, G4, and G5 Omitted
Ana’s Comments: “Machu Picchu was built as much for utilitarian use as it was for aesthetic pleasure. This is very much like the Golden Jewel Board, I understand. A practical mapping device through life’s journey’s as well as a magnificent piece of artwork.”
Reward (Association): Don Pedro Piece #6 (Isabel’s half-brother)
