Lore

Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, is one of the greatest deities of Mesoamerican mythology, worshipped across Aztec and earlier civilizations as a god of wind, wisdom, creation, and the heavens. Combining the power of a serpent with the radiant plumage of the quetzal bird, Quetzalcoatl moved between earth and sky as a symbol of divine balance and knowledge. Ancient legends credit the being with shaping humanity, bringing learning and civilization to the world, and guiding the movement of the stars. Temples dedicated to Quetzalcoatl once rose across vast cities beneath the blazing sun of ancient empires.
