Tlaltecuhtli

Tlaltecuhtli is the Mexica Earth goddess.

History
At the beginning of the fifth world, the gods Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca were creating the heavens in the form of serpents. But they found the monstrous Tlaltecuhtli decided that the new world couldn't prosper with such a hideous creature, so they decided to destroy her. Tlaltecuhtli sacrificed his foot to draw the goddess out, she lost her lower jaw preventing her from going underwater. This allowed him and Quetzalcoatl grab each of her hands and feet to tear her apart, her upper half became the sky and her lower became the earth

The other gods, angry by this treatment, had her dismembered body become features of the new world. Her skin became grasses and small flowers, her hair the trees and herbs, her eyes the springs and wells, her nose the hills and valleys, her shoulders the mountains, and her mouth the caves and rivers. But even after all this, Tlaltecuhtli remained alive and demanded human blood as repayment for her sacrifice.

The Fire Keeper
Worshipers of Tlaltecuhtli have been abducting godborns and taking them to Aztlán, the homeland of the Aztecs before they journeyed to central Mexico.
