Quetzalcoatl
Quetzalcoatl is the morning wind that brings nourishing rainand the first light of dawn; he is protector of craftsmen, teacher of farming, inventor of the ritual calendar, friend of the learned, patron of the priesthood, and ultimate promoter of order and civilization.
Quetzalcoatl’s appearance alternates between that of a formidable feathered serpent and a wizened Mēxihcah priest adorned with a red mask and black body paint. He often associates with his more monstrous, dog-like twin brother Xolotl who guides the evening sun on its journey through the underworld to be reborn at dawn.
Like their divine father, Scions of Quetzalcoatl engage in a tireless quest to promote justice, mercy, learning, and civilization. They show more compassion than many Teōtl Scions and work hand in hand with humanity to recover ancient codices, promote sustainable farming techniques and wind energy, and revive cultural awareness about the Mēxihcah and their heritage. They also participate in missionary endeavors to spread faith in the Teōtl. They are priests, artists, farmers, engineers, architects, astronomers, explorers, police officers, and educators of all stripes. Of all his Scions, Topiltzin and Nezahuacoatl were Quetzalcoatl’s most beloved and set the standard for all that follow.
