Aztec Mythology
The gods are gone, the sun won’t rise—will you save the world or let it burn?
Author's Note: Mecatl is unlike any fantasy setting you've played before—a world where the gods demand sacrifice, where divine cycles of creation and destruction shape history, and where your choices may decide the birth of an entirely new era. If you love high-stakes storytelling, mythic struggles, and a rich, underexplored mythological foundation, this is your world. The apocalypse isn’t coming… it’s here. What will you do with your final days?

Description
Mecatl, a lush world of ancient city-states, is dominated by the theocratic Nahuatlan Empire, ruled by priest-kings. With a structured society and diverse cultures like Tonaltoca and Quetzalcohuatl, tensions rise as the Sun weakens and rebellions emerge. Current period is "The Fifth Sun," it follows the creation of a new sun after the Fourth Sun's destruction. Gods Nanahuatzin and Tecciztecatl sacrificed themselves to become the sun and moon, with the latter's light dimmed by gods to prevent rivalry. The sun remained stationary until further divine sacrifices moved it, emphasizing the Aztec belief in the necessity of constant sacrifice to maintain cosmic balance.
