Aztlán is the mythical realm of the Mexica Gods and the original place of the people of the Southern Mexica Empire.
History[]
In Aztlán, there is a place of seven caves called Chicomoztoc. Each cave is home to one of the Nahua tribes: Xochimilca, Tlahuica, Acolhua, Tlaxcalteca, Tepaneca, Chalca, and Mexica.[1]
When most of the remaining population of Mesoamerica converted away from the Aztec pantheon, the Mexica Gods lost a significant source of power and retreated to Aztlán.
Storm Runner Trilogy[]
The Fire Keeper[]
When it was discovered that worshipers of Tlaltecuhtli, the Mexica earth goddess, have been abducting young godborns, Ixtab mentioned Aztlán when talking about the Mexica.
Trivia[]
