Editing Zaltec (section)

==Lore==
Zaltec was the second son of [[Kukul]] and [[Maztica (Goddess)|Maztica]], born after [[Qotal]]. His initial gift to [[human]]ity, after their creation, was honor and courage. After Qotal gave humans maize, he grew jealous of his brothers fame, so he created and gave his [[cleric]]s and warriors hishna magic, which they used to wage great and terrible wars that spread throughout the land.

Eventually Qotal, with help from Maztica, gave humans pluma magic, which caused the wars to end. This angered Zaltec, who took his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macuahuitl maca] and killed Maztica. War then erupted among the gods, with [[Azul]], [[Tezca]], and [[Plutoq]] taking Zaltec's side. The gods of both sides commanded that a great pyramid be built for this war, and atop it, each god performed a sacrifice to show their courage, with Zaltec having 10,000 brave warrior killed as his sacrifice. The gods then did battle, with Qotal eventually winning against Zaltec, casting him down the pyramids steps.

Zaltec then lived in exile, until [[Kiltzi]] came to him, seeking shelter from Qotal, and eventually [[Watil]] and [[Nula]] came to him as well, having heard what Qotal did, and causing the world to suffer. Zaltec again grew in power, and sent his clerics to tell that the gods were hungry and demanded sacrifices, and with that, they offered themselves, and Zaltec feasted on the hearts offered to him, becoming the dominant god in Maztica, whilst Qotal left the land.
