Welcome aboard, Nick. I don't see any reason why could couldn't add
in those influences to an area you like. The Fire-tribes to the east
of the lands held by the Trader Princes such as the Pelushi and the
Colanti can be as screamingly Aztec as you like. I know that in my
Glorantha they have a strong 'flower war' and "volcano-shaped-pyramid-
smeared-with-bloody-sacrifices*" temple vibe.
Not too sure about the conquistador Trader Princes but many of the Manirian tribes have a Western aristocracy - perhaps the Rokari got enterprising a generation ago? They certainly have the necessary mindset for conquistadors - at least I think they do.
In the end, have fun!
Jeff - who is also a(n) (geo)archaeologist. =)
