Story[]

Under the guidance of "The Ruler of Death," Yohualtecuhtin had created the Night Kingdom after the original Ley Lines of Natlan were severely damaged during the battle between the Descender and the dragons. To aid the people of Natlan, she used the fragments of the old Ley Lines to reconstruct a similar network forming the Night Kingdom and later Xbalanque helped strengthen the realm.^[3]

In ancient Natlan, the human Chaac was the first to make contact with the Night Kingdom, later leading to the creation of the Wayob and a permanent relationship between the tribes of Natlan and Yohualtecuhtin.^[2] The tribes communicated with Yohualtecuhtin through the mediums of both obsidian^[4] and living human sacrifices (often prisoners of war), and she gave them guidance in turn. Yohualtecuhtin instructed the tribes to spread the "Essence of Sacrifice" over Natlan's sterile soil, a practice which closely resembles the Watatsumi Goryou Matsuri practiced by Watatsumi Island, to make the land habitable for humans at the ancient dragons' expense.^[1]
