Introductory
In this land made from a great catastrophe and long journey to find a new home Teotlalli is the new world born from the body of Cipactli. In the beginning the teteo, physical manifestations of nature migrated to a new world after the old world was swallowed by a great monster that swam in the waters of this new world. The monster followed the teteo and devoured anything the spirits made. Frustrated and annoyed they pounced onto the great catastrophe and finally defeated the great monster. However, its blood made new monsters and so the teteo got the bones from humans and made the first race, the Yancuiteca or as they called themselves human.
Worried about their chances of survival Quetzalcoatl went down to the land and taught the humans how to use magic and speak the first language. Huitzilopochtli descended and taught them how to fight the monsters that plagued the lands of Teotlalli. Tezcatlipoca taught them how to hunt and how to set up traps. Xipe Totec taught them how to farm and build homes. Soon the human race started to depend heavily on the four Tezcatlipoca. So the four tezcatlipoca started to ask for blood and the people complied, however the sacrifices were small and not enough to go around. So the Teteo started to come up with ideas. One idea was to have quetzalcoatl to teach them how to drain blood with magic. So Quetzalcoatl did so and it went wrong. The People became dried up and the blood was very watery. One day Xochipilli came up to them and told them how about they have children with the humans and they went along with the plan.
These children were made from teotl and a human mother 9 months later the 4 children of the Teteo were born and these four children would go on and make their own tribes and cities. The Ocelots of the Smoking Mirror to the North, the Flayed Monks to the east, the Sons of the Hummingbird to the South, and the Feathered Disciples to the west. While they would stay in their respective regions they would soon branch out and start finding careers in other cities.
The people of Teotlalli are known as Teotlateca or Teotlatec to outsiders. In Teotlalli there are many societies spread far from each other so many towns have their own way of life compared those who live in cities such as Coaxoch. The racial composition of Teotlalli is broad when it comes to the cities though half the population is human with Atlateca and Oceloteca being the second most populated and tied in population. The race that is least populated according to everyone in Teotlalli is the Cipacteca with only a few thousand having been domesticated while others were docile to begin with. Out of all the races they are the least trusted due to being tied with the monstrous Cipactli.
Communities are very far and few between though there are smaller communities that live in rural areas that are not on the main road. Races such as the Axoloteca have their own communities near swamps while the Tzinacanteca and the Tototeca live high in the mountains.
These villages are scattered around the land so many adventurers have to be wary of stumbling upon them either be it on purpose or by accident. Histories and stories are passed down from generation to generation.
From legends of two lovers whose love burned so hot they turned to volcanoes or a warrior who defeated and dragged all their bodies to the temples to be sacrificed. Regardless of the stories all of them have some sort of merit to them, either to teach or to entertain.
Hierarchy
When it comes to the hierarchy of Teotlatecan society it is the Huey Tlatoani (translated to Great Speaker) that rules over the community. He is the commander of armies and the supreme power. He overlooked major decisions and made strategies and led the army to the battlefront.
Second to the Tlatoani was the Cihuacoatl, they acted as a prime minister and second in command in the military and reported to the Huey Tlatoani. They made sure that all the strategies that the commander put out were practical and could be implemented.
After the Tlatoani and the Cihuacoatl was the Supreme War Council. This council consisted of a group of four members of high military ranking. These individuals tooks decisions on war and also kept track of expenses and finances.
The position of the Topileh is one of teaching yet is responsible for the supervision, welfare, and physical training of soldiers. They usually can be seen holding a wooden staff made of oak. This rank upon the hierarchy is a chief of the battlefield.
The Cuauhtlatoh are the ones who lead armies into battle, gave them orders; assigned different positions to different warriors who specialized in different groups.
Tlacatecatl is the commanding general who is sent in the front lines on the battlefield. They used their strategic thinking and presence of mind to instruct warriors on the war ground. The ones who took care of the weapons and the armor are the Tlacochcalcatl and took care of the barracks.
Daily Life in Teotlalli
In the continent of Teotlalli every nation was their own way of life but for the most part they have a lot of similarities. Any character can be familiar with the traditions and customs of Teotlalli.
Currency
For the nations of Teotlalli the Huey Tlatoani (Great Speaker) has set out a standardized currency for the citizens to follow. Dark Sun Cocoa Beans are used as Copper pieces, corn kernels are used as silver pieces, little chipped hoe blades were worth a gold piece, and weaved tapestries were worth a platinum piece. Though there was an established currency, merchants and traders haggled and bartered for their goods.
Technologies
Though the societies were primitive the teotl Quetzalcoatl came down as a human and taught them on how to efficiently use the tools that were brought down from the other worlds. From hammers to hoes to shovels Quetzalcoatl show the people of Teotlalli on how to better tend the land. Soon in time the people had basic plumbing with the advancement of aqueducts so now they can get clean water. Farming was greatly expanded and had little farming islands called Chinampas made from mud, silt and decomposing food scraps. As for weaponry not much has been expanded since going to war with one another seemed counterintuitive and counter productive to the race of humans. Though you can see a chart with all the available weapons in chapter 5.
Childhood
Childhood for a Teotlallian varies from nation to nation but they have more similarities. From the moment they are born the midwife would hold the baby while saying a prayer, warning the child of the struggles and hardships of life. There was also a saying that if an elderly person stepped over the infant they must immediately step back since it was believed that it could hinder the child's growth.
While in the wob the midwives and priests of Chantico would help the mother with anything that she needed and at the child's birth they would perform daily rituals such as bathing the child and naming the child based on their calendar. They would also cut the umbilical cord and preserve it to be ritualistically burned in the hearth for a girl or to be buried in a battlefield for a boy. Infants would also receive gifts based on the fathers profession for boys and weaving instruments for girls.
During toddler years both boys and girls wore a long shirt and their hair was cut short to prevent illness. At this time the toddler was free to run around and play. As they grew however they were taught proper behavior and to stop playing in the mud. Greet people properly, listen to elders. And to eat quietly.
At four to seven years old gender appearances became more apparent boys wore a simple loincloth and shirt while girls wore a skirt and shirt. Chores were introduced to children at this time as well. Girls weaved clothes and fabrics and boys left the house with the father to bring supplies like food and water.
At the ages 8 - 14 children were given more responsibilities and punishments were given out if the child misbehaved. The punishments include Maguey spines to prick the skin who showed idleness, lying, negligence, or wild behavior. There is one punishment that the child would be locked in the house while the mother cooked chili peppers.
Though the punishments are extreme its important to know that they were not used every day the presence however shows how much the parents expected the children to of high standard.
Adulthood
At the age of 15 children are now considered adults males go into military service, become merchants and take up a family, or if they were born into a noble family can influence the Tlatoani in political matters. Girls become betrothed and are married off however there are some cases where the she would run away from her marital duties and go into hiding where they go is a mystery.
Houses of Rest
(Ceuiacalli)(axihuayan)
In Teotlalli each city and village have these spots of rest called Ceuiacalli. The history of these Ceuiacalli is due to a small war in the lands when a small army defeated a large army of a neighboring chiefdom the soldiers started to bleed out and died due to blood loss. So a woman named Cozamalotl with the help of her five sons constructed a small district where warriors, priests, and merchants. Moved by this the Huey Tlatoani ordered that each village have a Ceuiacalli for people to rest and to recuperate. The small district is fortified with stonewalls with moats surrounding it and inside the walls are houses constructed in a grid with each house specializing in an expertise. Be it Combat, Prayer, Medicine, crafting of clothing and jewelry or hunting each house holds a place in the Ceuiacalli.
Character Options

Humans in Teotlalli are descendants of the people that came before them after their bones were saved by Mictlantecuhtli and were used to make the humans of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Suns. The humans are stronger than their 5th sun ancestors they received a gift from the teteo called
Humans in Teotlalli
The humans in Teotlalli live separately depending on their beliefs. Those in the West follow the mortal descendant of Quetzalcoatl and his belief to learn from nature and apply it to the short life that is had.
People in the South follow the descendant of Huitzilopochtli who believe in the sustenance of life through sacrifice by blood however they follow a protocol and guidelines of sacrifices.
To the North the people follow the descendant of Tezcatlipoca who rules with mystery and intrigue. A puppet on the throne of lies and conflict while the puppet master pulls the strings.
Lastly the East is home to the descendant of Xipe Totec and the people are united like flower petals to the bud.
Names
People in Teotlalli get their names from the day they were born. Because some days are considered unlucky parents had ways to fudge the exact date to get a more suitable name. They would get names that corresponds to their calendar.
For example in the Faerunian Calendar a person if was born on the 16th of Uktar(November) then the child would get a name Chicuacen Malinalli (Six Grass) To explain this further I will make another section of this PDF in the near future.
Finally a few days after their birth infants would get a personalized name boys would get names that correspond to their standing in society or get named after objects and personality quirks. Female infants would get girlish names like that of flowers or jewelry.

Born from Tlalocan
The Atlateca are born from the souls of humans and are transformed by the rain spirits. They are born with the intuition and love of Chalchiuhtlicue and the rage and gluttony of Tlaloc. Not only do they take humanoid form they also gain the ability to breathe underwater to the blessing of the parental Teteo.
Atlateca see humans as advanced and the humans see the Atlateca just as advanced So they often come together to make tools, weaponry and great architecture to their Teteo. It is common to see both humans and Atlateca to coexist in certain cities.
To the North, They are unfortunately shunned and mistreated due to the natives living in most wooded areas.
To the South they are respected just as they to their parental teteo and helped made the city that floated on top of the Great Lake.
To the East they live in mutual harmony and teach other races their ways though there are few and far between.

Days later his head morphed into that of a jaguar and soon the champion of Tezcatlipoca impregnated the local population and gave birth to the Oceloteca.
The Oceloteca can be curious to their surroundings and tend to wander about the world searching for new experiences; however they are unfortunately the object to the other nations. While in the north where the decendant of Tezcatlipoca lived they live in harmony with most races however in the south they are usually killed on the spot due to the pelts being so similar to that of jaguars.

Barbarian Primal Path of the Hummingbird
When it came to the people of Teotlalli no warrior was more intimidating than a man who took the Path of the Hummingbird. Barbarians who go down this path do so with pride. To be a manifestation of Huitzilopochtli is an honor and a privilege to be one with war.

When you choose this path at 3rd level, you can take on aspects of Huitzilopochtli when you rage. Your eyes burn with a bright white light, the air swirls around you with faint screaming. When enraged you send a flash of bright light in a 15 foot radius. You can choose up to a number of creatures based on your constitution modifier that are immune to the flash. Targets within range must succeed a Constitution saving throw.
DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + Wisdom modifier
On a failed save creatures within range take 3d6 fire damage and are blinded for one minute and at the end of the targets turn they can repeat a constitution saving throw to not be blinded . On a successful save the creature takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

Martial Subclass: Cuauhocelotl
The Cuauhocelotl are on a league of their own when it comes to fighters, while they do take prisoners they to be sacrifices to the sun. From the flight of a eagle to the claws and jaws of a jaguar nothing will stop you from gathering captives.
Grappling Takedown
At 3rd level, as an action you can attempt to disarm and restrain the target with 10 feet of rope and the target must succeed a Strength saving throw or be disarmed and imposed to the restrained condition.

Cuauhocelotl Order.
At 3rd level, you undergo the rituals and tests required to join a cuauhocelotl order. Choose one of the following cuauhocelotl orders:
Coyotl: Cleverness and opportunism rank among the coyote Cuauhocelotl’s prized traits, while discretion may be the better part of valor under less-thanideal circumstances. Despite the preceding philosophy, abandoning a friend during combat disgraces the order. Spying also comes naturally to the wily coyote. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while wearing light or no armor.
Cuauhtli: Keen observation rather than rash reactions win the day. Eagle cuauhocelotls take in their surroundings and then carefully assess every situation. Withdrawal is an acceptable alternative when faced with a superior adversary. An impulsive action that imperils others violates the eagle cuauhocelotl’s core values. Eagle cuauhocelotls see what others miss. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Ocelotl: Preparation is more important than participation. The always calculating jaguar determines when and where to fight. When the time and place are ideal, there can be no surrender nor retreat. With experience, the jaguar cuauhocelotl’s predatory senses and agility greatly improve. You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks and Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to climb a surface or maintain your balance on a narrow surface.
Coatl: None can defeat you except yourself. Pain offers the path to vanquishing fear. The serpent’s scales must be pierced to reveal the cuauhocelotl’s true mettle. When the serpent conquers fear, anything becomes possible. Absent the trepidation of failure, trickery and treachery hold the keys to victory. These cuauhocelotls undergo a gruesome scarification ritual that transforms you into a fearless soldier. You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Once you select a Cuauhocelotl order, you cannot change it. If you commit a transgression that violates the tenets of your order, such as displaying cowardice on the battlefield, you do not gain any additional cuauhocelotl order features until you make amends for your sin by redeeming yourself in battle or through magical redemption such as a wish or similar magic.

Wrath of the Flayed Lord
At 17th level you invoke the wrath of Xipe Totec making your opponents feel pain they wish they have never felt. Skin feeling as it is being flayed and as if cactus thorns are piercing your heart and lungs and in death will sprout new life such is the way of Xipe Totec.
As part of any attack you make with a monk weapon or unarmed strike against a target creature you can see, you can implant a virulent seed of the flayed one inside that creature. This seed gradually grows inside the body of the target, causing the creature to feel as if it is being flayed alive. At the start of each of its turns, the target makes a Constitution saving throw against your ki save DC. On a failed save, the target suffers 1d10 piercing damage and 1d10 slashing damage. This damage ignores any resistances to those damage types. This effect lasts for 1 minute, or until the target succeeds on a Constitution saving throw to end the effect on itself. You may use this feature once, and regain its use after finishing a long rest or until you spend 10 ki points.

The Four Tezcatlipoca
Teteo | Roles | Alignment | Domain |
---|---|---|---|
Tezcatlipoca | Teotl of Discord, Divination, Hurricanes, Jaguars, Night, Obsidian, Sorcery, Temptation, and War. | Chaotic Neutral | Trickery, Knowledge |
Quetzalcoatl | Teotl of winds, storms, learning, knowledge,life, creativity, Air, Intelligence, and Serpents. | Lawful Good | Life, Nature, Tempest |
Xipe Totec | Teotl of Agriculture, Disease, Liberation, Rebirth, Seasons, , and Blacksmithing | Neutral | Forge, Nature, Life |
Huitzilopochtli | Teotl of war, sun(Former), human sacrifice and Patron of former Tenochtitlan | Lawful Neutral | War, Light |
Quetzalcoatl
One of the most well known of the teteo, he is the Teotl of the west, arts and crafts, and wind. The most docile of all the teteo he only asks for serpents and butterflies to be sacrificed in his name. Human hearts though he does appreciate the thought it is considered taboo to sacrifice a human in his name.
He played a major role in guiding the pantheon of teteo to the new world they call Teotlalli and used his power of the winds to make the lifeless planet to spin in circles to give the planet winds to erode the high mountains that were there. Although his relationship with Tezcatlipoca his brother, is still very hostile towards each other.
Tezcatlipoca
Teotl to the North, Tezcatlipoca is the Teotl of the night sky , ancestral memory, and in some cases time. He is a patron teotl to the Oceloteca in the land of Teotlalli.
He is responsible for the destruction of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Suns. The second due to a rivalry with Quetzalcoatl, the third due to him capturing the heart of Xochiquetzal and making Tlaloc very upset which caused a rain of fire and burned all the people of the Third world and a fourth making Chalchiuhtlicue cry blood for 52 years. Needless to say he's not very popular with the other teteo. Though there are some people who shout his name in the land of Teotlalli.
Huitzilopochtli
Teotl to the South, he is the manifestation of war. Known to lead his people to do horrific deeds such as having his priests ask for a man's daughter in marriage and soon to flay her skin and make a young boy wear it. However after the fall of the fifth world and him being resurrected he has changed in a sense. He has grown more calm yet calculated and has begun to develop a father-daughter relationship with the young Teotl Tlālticpactlahuilli.
Xipe Totec
Teotl to the East, Xipe Totec is teotl of spring, and patron of seeds, planting, metalworkers and gemstone workers. Despite his horrifying appearance he is a neutral spirit and quite approachable. Though sacrifices in his name were inhumane they have been toned down to bloodletting and soaking the fields in blood to give the plants nutrients to grow faster and stronger. His image can be found in almost every blacksmith and jewelry shop.

Xōchipilli is the teotl of art, dance, flowers, and song. As the patron of writing and painting. His twin sister is Xōchiquetzal.

Merchants carry an uttal cane as they move from village to village peddling their wares, and at night-time would tie them together into a neat bundle before sprinkling them with blood from their ears.

In Teotlalli many adventurer’s pray to him for safe travels and to not be ambushed by barbarians.
Afterlife
When it comes to the afterlife it's not based on what alignment you are but rather on how you died. If you died due to drowning then your soul would go to Tlalocan, a plane ruled by Tlaloc. It is said to be a paradise filled with every flower and a sparkling river.
Or if an infant died at a young age they would go to Tamoanchán where Itzpalolotl ruled and a tree with nipples would feed the infant's souls. But for everyone else they would go to Mictlan where they would travel through the realm in order to reach Mictlantecuhtli where they are rewarded eternal rest.
When a soul dies they aren’t sent to a plane that corresponds to their alignment. Instead in this world they are sent to a few worlds. One is Mictlan where Mictlantecuhtli and his wife watch over the souls of the dead.
Mictlan
Mictlan is an underworld realm that is home to Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl where the souls journey through nine layers to finally meet Mictlantecuhtli and be given eternal rest. There is a river that flows through the underworld called the Apanohuaia River where the gargantuan monster named Xochitonal resides to devour the souls who get lost when crossing the river. Unlike the Nine Hells in the Forgetten Realms, Mictlan is a journey to eternal rest and on their journey is a dog called Xoloitzcuintle and their coat was either white or vermilion. It's color is the only way to see in the place full of darkness; however, if the person in question was not kind to dogs they would spend their lives here for all eternity.
The First Layer
Itzcuintlán, The first layer of Mictlan consists of crossing the great Apanohuaia River with the help of an animal guide that is bestowed unto kind people by the teotl Xolotl. The river's surface is covered in a dense greenish grey fog that is only traverable with the help of the animal guide Xoloitzcuintle as they guide you though the river. Lurking in the river is the sea monster Xochitonal, described as a large iguana with mouths on each joint and with claws sharper than obsidian.
The Second Layer
The Second level is Tepectli Monamictlan it is a place where two giant hills crash into one another. Each time they crash a sharp piercing ringing shoots through the ears of mortal souls causing them to flinch and cover their ears. The Soul must either wait for the right moment to continue its way or break through the ringing and push onward. Those who get caught in the hill colliding with each other are crushed and their soul returns to the first layer starting the journey from scratch.
The Third Layer
Then comes the third layer of Mictlan, Iztepetl. In this layer of Mictlan the souls must cross a path of obsidian and flint. Cutting and shredding through the skin of the dead to shred the blood and muscle that the spirit may still have in their bodies. This is to shred what flesh that tied them to the living.
The Fourth Layer
The fourth layer of Mictlan is called Cehueloyan, it is a place of sorrow and woe where the words of the midwife echo through the vast fields of snow and through these words the spirit remembers the saddest moments of its life. It must go through to get rid of them.
The Fifth Layer
In the middle of the journey is Pancuetlacaloyan, a place with so much wind that bodies float like flags. Souls that cannot overcome the harsh winds are blown away. This layer of Mictlan was at the foot of the last hill Izteecayan and there began a very cold desert area, composed of eight moors that had to go.
The Sixth Layer
Next comes Timiminaloayan, the sixth layer of Mictlan. Where invisible hands throw arrows that must be dodged by the souls. Each Arrow represents a person who had an influence on the departed be it good or bad. This is also the process to get rid of any blood that the deceased has.
The Seventh Layer
In the seventh layer is know as Teocoyocualloa. In this layer you are attacked by wild beasts. The deceased makes it out the chest is sliced open by a jaguar and then your heart is ripped out. This is to symbolize that you have left all worldly possessions and moving on.
The Eighth Layer
The eighth level is Apanohualoyan, a place where a fog covers the area and Waters reach up to their waists. In the fog the departed see their life pass as they wade over the dark waters. They must get through to seek eternal rest those who don’t drown and do not get eternal rest.
The Ninth Layer
The last level is Chiconahualoyan where the souls finally meet Mictlantecuhtli for the ultimate test and it goes as follows. The deceased fights for his survival, and reflects on the existence of life and how it is a constant battle. By recognizing the efforts of others and their courage (including that of the other deceased at his side and the hardships they have gone through), he goes to the next stage.
The deceased thinks about their condition and must be able to act without thinking, to detach themselves from reasoning.
The third state is that of the desire for importance, where the deceased must open his eyes to the fact that if he had not been blinded for a single moment by the desire to dominate the other, he would have lived a life more prosperous.
In the fourth state of consciousness, that of clarity, the deceased must realize that people were present for him or to help him and that sometimes he did not give them any importance. He needs to come to terms with his relationships and put his mind in order.
Once his mind is clear, the deceased has clear access to what he wanted to achieve in his life, what was his goal and his vision. The challenge at this level is to feel that a clear vision and healthy relationships would have brought greater success.
Reaching the sixth state supposes an active will to help others in the achievement of their goals. The deceased must recognize that asking for or providing help is a strength.
The deceased must wake up at a stage where he accepts to unite with his life as it was without experiencing resistance, complaints or regrets.
The eighth state is that of plenitude, where the deceased must feel a deep connection between what surrounds him, the world and himself to move on to the next stage.
The deceased must experience unity, admit that there is no separation between inside and outside, between him and others and that existence is an inseparable whole. By this path he attains eternal rest.
Creation Myth
In the beginning, The being known as Ometeotl, a being both male and female, both good and bad, created itself and gave birth to four sons, the Tezcatlipocas of the North, South, East, and West. Their names were Tezcatlipoca, Xipe Totec, Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl. Shortly after their birth They tried to create people but there was something lurking in the cosmic Waters below eating anything they created and it was named Cipactli. So Tezcatlipoca came up with a plan to lure it out with his foot and Cipactli took the bait then four teteo trapped Cipactli and strangled it to death.
However; it was mostly dead. Cipactli was still moving and wanted blood and so the Teteo promised Cipactli to give it blood. After the defeat of Cipactli they began to create the first sun to do this they lit up a pyre and Tezcatlipoca wanting to be the first Sun tied the sun around his waist, flew up to the heavens and became the first sun. There was one problem however, Tezcatlipoca could only produce half a sun. Over time however Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl start to have a rivalry so Quetzalcoatl grabs a club and knocks Tezcatlipoca out of the sky and into the water. Tezcatlipoca emerges from the ocean as a giant jaguar and kills his people in a fit of rage.
Afterwards Quetzalcoatl became the sun and although he was doing a good job the humans of the second world became rude and disrespectful and they offended Tezcatlipoca and he turned them into monkeys.
This is where the Ozomalteca were born. Quetzalcoatl, upset that the humans were turned into monkeys, blows them off in a hurricane and drifts into space.
Tlaloc the teotl of rain becomes the third sun and does a good job giving people much more rain and making the soil fertile but Tezcatlipoca seduces Tlaloc’s wife Xochiquetzal and becomes so upset that he will not let it rain. The people plead and beg for Tlaloc to give them rain angered Tlaloc unleashed a rain of fire and burnt all of his people into a crisp.
The Next sun was Tlaloc’s new wife Chalchiuhtlicue and was doing a good job of being the sun and loved her people as if a mother loved her children however Tezcatlipoca grew jealous of Chalchiuhtlicue and accused her of showing false love this hurt Chalchiuhtlicue greatly and cried blood for 52 years.
Quetzalcoatl, frustrated to remake humanity, goes to Mictlan and meets with Mictlantecuhtli, the lord of the dead. Mictlantecuhtli challenges Quetzalcoatl to play his conch horn however when Quetzalcoatl went in to blow the horn there was no sound. Mictlantecuhtli had played a trick on him. Quetzalcoatl called upon bees to help him produce sounds and ants to make holes and played a note.
Mictlantecuhtli was shocked and gave Quetzalcoatl the bones of humanity. On his way up to the earth he tripped and broke the bones. Quetzalcoatl then sacrificed himself and showered the bones with his blood he peoples skin began to form from the dried bones from Mictlan and the teteo seeing the sacrifice that Quetzalcoatl made the teteo did the same and when it was up to someone to become the new sun Tecciztecatl boasted that he should be the sun.
The Teteo weren’t too keen on him being the sun then came the humble Nanahuatzin the sickly spirit offered to be the sun and Tecciztecatl laughed at him. But when the time came to jump into the great pyre Tecciztecatl tried so many times but he turned away in cowardice.
Nanahuatzin without hesitation jumped into the fire and from the flames came the Nanahuatzin now known as Tonatiuh. Ashamed of himself Tecciztecatl jumped into the fire and from the flames Tecciztecatl came out as a sun.
Now that there were two suns the sky was two bright so Huitzilopochtli grabbed a rabbit and threw it at Tecciztecatl and the rabbit dimmed his light and made the moon. Now that Tonatiuh was the sun he did not move. So Quetzalcoatl turned into a falcon and questioned Tonatiuh. Tonatiuh demanded the hearts of man. The humans grabbed stone knives and tore through their stomach and ripped their hearts out and then Tonatiuh began to fly across the sky.
A World Reborn
During the era of the fifth sun ruled by Tonatiuh the halt of the sacrifice of humans for their blood halted the sun in its place and soon the earth began to rumble. Monuments and buildings began to topple to the ground and rose from the ground was Cipactli and it began to devour everything. Cipactli flailed and roared and with its tail, knocked Tonatiuh out of the sky and he fell into the ocean snuffing out his flame.
When Tonatiuh was knocked out of the sky the Tzitzimime descended from the stars and slaughtered then ate the flesh off peoples bones then took their souls to Mictlan.
The teteo fought Cipactli and they were victorious but some of the teteo were devoured by Cipactli. The bodies of the teteo that were devoured by Cipactli began to glow with life and gave the lands life while making sure that Cipactli remained dead.
After the defeat of Cipactli the teteo began to migrate for centuries. They found a place to settle and placed Cipactli’s corpse in the water and molded his body deforming it to suit their needs and wants. They made mountains from his teeth, rivers from his tears, the seas from his eyes, and life from its blood. The teteo dug a hole into Cipactli and Xipe Totec Tezcatilpoca to the East planted a seed in the hole and sprouted a great tree and soon the tree began to produce seeds and soon made the people called the Amoxoaque people made from trees that are to be the embodiment of nature.
Quetzalcoatl began to remake humanity again and dipped their bones in his blood and so the people of the 6th sun were reborn. After a few centuries, humans began to build and grow again just like the people of the old world. The teteo called them Yencuiteca meaning “The New People.” The Yencuiteca began to build cities for the teteo as thanks for their knowledge of hunting, arts, architecture, agriculture, and language.
Soon the teteo began to do their part and make this world and land much stronger and better than it was however there was no sun...
Making of the Sixth Sun.
The Teteo began to create the Great Pyre for the next teteo but no one had the guts to be a next sun. Tonatiuh cried out why he couldn’t be the sun. The teteo looked at him and said
“The time of blood is over though you have asked for our sacrifice just so you would glide across the sky. All the others asked for no such thing.”
Tonatiuh replied “You all doubted me when I was the weak Nanahuatzin. I proved myself to all of you and I demand that I become the sun once again!”
Huitzilopochtli having enough of Tonatiuh’s tantrum picked up a sick bird and threw it at Tonatiuh causing him to grow sores and become the same way he was before. Xochiquetzal raised her granddaughter and told the teteo that her granddaughter will be the next sun and the previous suns will have to teach her ways of being the sun. So in the Pyre she leaped and it burned her.
Moments passed and the flames calmed and crawled from the pyre was Tlālticpactlahuilli. Hair was black as charred wood and skin gold as the sun. Her eyes were all kinds of red and orange like metal being taken out of a furnace. The teteo gave the young sun gifts and the one she enjoyed the most was chocolate.
She demanded that chocolate be offered to her in her name. The teteo were confused and asked her about the blood of humans. She being both mortal and a teteo disliked the taste and preferred not to take the lives of people.
The teteo acknowledged her preferences and she went down to Teotlalli and spoke to the humans and told them that she would need 500lbs of chocolate each 52 years.
The Birth of the Moon and the Stars
After a few years Tlālticpactlahuilli began to feel as if he was the only one to own the sky. She was lonely so she went to find some friends there in Teotlalli and she found children birthed from noble families.
Tlālticpactlahuilli ran through the field with the children and asked if they wanted to play hide and seek; the children agreed. So they hid in the bushes, in the tree, down in the undergrowth, by the river, they hid anywhere they could. Tlālticpactlahuilli began her search and after she found them and tagged them she left a mark on where they were tagged. One by one she found more and more children but she had to go back home in the sky. She said farewell and raced towards the sky. After a few decades have passed the children have become old and have passed on but instead of going to the afterlife to live with Mictlan they went towards the heavens.
Tlālticpactlahuilli was waiting all this time. She assigned ev’ry soul to be a star in the night sky. As for who was going to be the moon She assigned a girl now a woman to be the new moon. The Teotls name was Yancuimetztli. So now when you look up at the night sky of Teotlalli you can hear all the children playing up in the night sky, can you see all of them?
Creation of the Mecahuehuetl
Up in the mountain near the remains of Mixcoatl lived a man named Olanxo and this man would go up to the mountains and sing. One day the teotl Xochipilli saw the man and walked up to him and asked if he would play him something to accompany his singing. He planted a seed and it sprouted in minutes to a full grown tree. Xochipilli then cut it down and gathered the wood and hollowed it down. Then he took a branch and with its sap glued it to the top of the body. After that he carved a flower from the wood and used the sap again and glued it to the top of the branch.then he wove strings from the vines and created strings. This finally made the first Mecahuehuetl. Olanxo looked in awe at the fine creation and when Xochipilli lucked the first string it was said that the birds flew and danced in the sky above. Olanxo and Xochipilli performed many songs and nature danced to their music. Hours go by and Tlālticpactlahuilli rests for the night. Olanxo bids Xochipilli farewell, but before he can walk away Xochipilli gives him the instrument he created from nature itself. Olanxo gave his thanks and went back to his village.

Mimicry. The Ahuizotl can mimic sounds it has heard. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check.
Actions
Multiattack. The ahuizotl can use its Tail Grab. It then makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claw.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Tail Grab. The ahuizotl grabs a creature or item. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 14). The ahuizotl can then move up to its speed as a bonus action. The grappled creature must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be pulled along 5 feet behind the ahuizotl. A creature being dragged by the ahuizotl makes attack rolls and Dexterity saving throws with disadvantage. If the target is an object or weapon being held by another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw, or the ahuizotl pulls the object away from the creature. After stealing an object or weapon, the ahuizotl can move up to its speed as a bonus action. The ahuizotl can only grapple one creature or hold one weapon or object at a time. If holding a weapon, it can use its Tail Grab action to make one attack with the weapon with no proficiency bonus.
Pet of Tlacocan. The Ahuizotl is a dog-like monster with the end of a tail. It is a guardian of lakes and rivers and is said to be a messenger of Tláloc and Chalchiuhtlicue to look for people that they deemed perfect to spend eternity with. However, this does not mean it wasn’t malicious. Ahuizotl does have a life of its own and will drown and devour its victims. It lures people by mimicking a baby’s wail or a woman's screams for help. It has also been said to attack fishing canoes but people could offer up their catch to appease the Ahuizotl.

False Appearance. While the treant remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal tree.
Siege Monster. The treant deals double damage to objects and structures.
Innate Spellcasting. The Amoxoaque's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: Speak with Plants, Spike Growth, Hail of Thorns
3/day each: Entangle, Plant Growth, Tree Stride
1/day each: Wrath of Nature, Wall of ThornsActions
Multiattack. The treant makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage.
Rock. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 28 (4d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage.
Animate Trees (1/Day). The treant magically animates one or two trees it can see within 60 feet of it. These trees have the same statistics as a treant, except they have Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1, they can't speak, and they have only the Slam action option. An animated tree acts as an ally of the treant. The tree remains animate for 1 day or until it dies; until the treant dies or is more than 120 feet from the tree; or until the treant takes a bonus action to turn it back into an inanimate tree. The tree then takes root if possible.
People of the Forest. The Amoxoaque are tree spirits inhabiting forests as their guardians, natural beings who have the ability to turn anyone into a tree who has destroyed any tree as a consequence. Amoxoaques are overprotective with their land, which is why they were in charge of punishing those who damaged it. Thus, they managed to instill fear among the community and communicate the fate that awaited the destroyers.
Skin of Bark. Their appearance is like that of an authentic tree with very little characteristics of a humanoid. This is because the Amoxoaques put aside their human form when they emerged from the tree of life called Tonacacíhuatl, when it broke in the city of Tamoanchan.
Living History. Legend assures that the tree people lived in peace at the time of the second sun, a kingdom that was run by Quetzalcóatl. However, when Tezcatlipoca sent an intense deluge to Earth (which lasted 52 years), almost all of the Amoxoaques died. Now only a few remain around the forests of Teotlalli, taking care that no one hurts them and punishing those who do. They hide among the plants, like sentinels who watch over the conservation of mother earth.

When someone is marked my the Chocacihuatl they must go to a priest as soon as they can for if 3 days elapse the victim of the Chocacihuatl will die and their soul will turn into a Tlemacoa.

Offspring of the titanic caiman that formed the Earth, the Cipactli are large crocodilians with a sharp toothed maw at each body joint.
From Monster to the World. When the Teteo created the people of the 6th world Cipactli would swim in the waters and eat anything the Teteo would create so Huitzilopochtli dove into the waters and tore cipactli limb from limb his teeth were made into mountains, his skin into the earth and his eyes into water and rain.
From Blood Came Offspring. the blood of Cipactli soaked the earth and from the blood grew the spawn of Cipactli that were fiendish in nature. They are much bigger than regular crocodiles and can grow up to 20 to 35 feet. Up to twelve meters long, their thick armor protects against clubs or arrows, but each mouth is a vulnerability. Because of this, the Cipactli have had to learn stealth. They are primarily ambush predators, hiding among the trees and lunging at passing deer, javalina, and people. Sometimes they will sit in a river, using their limb-mounted mouths to consume passing fish.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage.
Hooves. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one prone creature. Hit: 22 (4d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
The Huey Mazatl was born from nature itself and acts as a mount to the people of Teotlalli. Many people used them to haul supplies and goods to cities with markets. Wild Huey Mazatl are very timid and are rarely seen but there are some people who have captured them and domesticated them into being rideable mounts. The first to domesticate Huey Mazatl was a man of the Chichimeca Nomads in the lands to the West by the name of Achcauhtli (meaning "leader.") Achcauhtli taught his tribe and then soon used them in combat with many successful raids.
Physiology
Huey Mazatl at birth are about foot long and weigh 35 to 50 pounds and at maturity they reach up to 9 to 15 feet tall and weigh up to 900 to 2,200 pounds.
Male Huey Mazatl during mating season their horns grow half their size and their antlers start to shed. The bigger the antlers the more likely the Huey Mazatl will attract female Huey Mazatl. With female Huey Mazatl their antlers shrink and sprout honeysuckle and with the honeysuckle the smell travels in a 5 mile radius to attract nearby Huey Mazatl.

The Mazacoatl is a fantastic animal with the body of a serpent and deer ergot, he lived in Mictlan, the Underworld from where he used to be absent to carry out his evil deeds, which were not few.
Myth
This beautiful snake had the ability to become a woman in order to seduce men who came too close to the waters. Once she had achieved her seductive purpose, she killed them ruthlessly, without the slightest remorse.
With women he proceeded in a different way: he induced them to climb on his back and since they were mounted, he took pleasure in burning their entrails, forcing them to writhe in pain, which is why he was extremely feared by females. It says that its flesh, white and soft, had the ability to grant men great virile power, although of course it was unthinkable to eat the Mazacóatl, since it was impossible to kill her. Due to this quality, it was considered the symbol par excellence of sexual relations and, therefore, it was related to the fertility of the earth.

Xiuhtecuhtli requires feasts and a heart of a human every 52 years.

The Quinametzin were a race of giants during the cycle of the first Sun. They built great cities and temples and respected the teteo, but when Quetzalcoatl knocked Tezcatlipoca who was the current sun at the time from the sky, they were killed by Tezcatlipoca and his jaguars. Some say that there were a few survivors who buried themselves beneath the vaults of Teotihuacan and Cholula, hibernating, to reawaken when the time was right. Standing sixty feet tall, and with great obsidian spears and clubs, the Quinametzin may not be kind to the miniature usurpers currently strutting around on the surface.

Tlatecuhtli
In the world long before the sixth sun come into existance some elders spoke of a great devourer. This monster had an insatiable appetite and nothing could ever hurt it, This monster is known as Tlatecuhtli.
The story goes that it was swimming in the astral seas and the Teteo setting aside their differences pounced unto the monster and grabbed its limbs and ripped the monsters body apart.
Its shoulders became the mountains, its nose was used to make valleys, Its tears was used to make the seas and lakes, it hair was used to make trees, every single organ was used to make the worlds. However its blood morphed into a much smaller version of Tlatecuhtli.
Adaptive traveling Devourer
In the regions of Teotlalli the Tlatecutli Spawn has been seen from swamps, forests, plains, tundras, and even in the outer planes. It is certain that when it comes to location it adapts to its current location. The Tlatecuhtli does have a special property. Depending on its environment it will grow plant life from pine trees to mesquite trees to oak. This also effects grass and fungi as well. All plants will start to overgrow as long as the Tlatecuhtli is nearby.
Attempts of Slaying
People of Teotlalli have made procedures to ensure that the Tlatecuhtli doesn't devour anyone some are to lead it off course with a deer packed with all kinds of meats and rub its pelt with plant oils of a Marigold. Some have tried to fight the Tlatecuhtli Spawns and very few came back. With those who came back they have reported that when they were close to weakening it they were ensnared on some vines and it vanished leaving the party of soldiers confused as to why it didn't eat them.

Some say that these wisps are the spirits who died soon after they're dearly beloved passed away mere moments before they did or are they just creations of the Teotl of fire, Xiuhtecuhtli. No one knows for sure however these spirits though not hostile are extremely dangerous. When one touches you it goes into your mind and reaches in deep memories you have long suppressed. Some even show you a visage of your family passing away and you can do nothing but watch.
Though it will not outright kill you, your grief will be so great that you will weep so much that you dehydrate yourself leaving you a husk.

It is a long and powerful snake found in the swamps and flooded caves of Teotlalli. This gleaming black snake is thick enough that a man's arms can barely wrap around it. The scales are shiny black. The head is large, with burning eyes and beard-like appendages on the back, similar to those on the chin. The tail is forked.
Behavior. The powerful mouth of a Tlilcoatl can generate a suction strong enough to attract prey from a distance. Tlilcoatl feed primarily on fish, but are not above drowning and eating people. They can spit venom like passersby, incapacitating them enough to absorb them, drag them underwater, and devour them.

The Yoaltepuztli lives in the dense forests and could be found throughout the lands of Teotlalli. It is headless and in some accounts he was known to carry his head around by the hair. People went to the forests to search for the Yoaltepuztli because according to legend, if you are brave enough to seek him out and meet with it, the Yoaltepuztli would consider granting you wishes. Many would try to commune with this creature to try to obtain money or a military victory. The headless Yoaltepuztli would make a loud cracking sound, like a tree falling in the forest. From this sound came the creature’s nickname, “The Night Axe.” The sound came from the Yoaltepuztli opening up his chest when he sensed humans nearby. Like the Tlacanexquimilli, this monster would offer humans its cactus thorns. If he sensed great bravery among his human visitors, he would give that person more thorns. If the Yoaltepuztli was in a bad mood or didn't wish to be disturbed by humans, sometimes he would strike down his visitors and curse them with poverty and misery.
In one tale, if a human visitor could tear out the heart of the Yoaltepuztli from its already opened up torso, this led to a whole other series of fortunes and misfortunes. If you could keep the creature away from its heart for one day, the lucky – or unlucky – human would get to see the heart transform. If the heart turned into a ball of feathers the next day the human would be prosperous and lucky throughout his life. If the heart turned into a black blob, the human would be forever cursed.
