	'''Huehueteotl''', name translates roughly to old god. Huehueteotl seems to connect to certain Mayan deities called Mam "Grandfather". Huehueteotl is frequently considered to overlap with, or be another aspect of, a central Mexican/Aztec deity associated with fire, Xiuhtecuhtli. However, Huehueteotl is characteristically depicted as an aged or even decrepit being, wrinkles are carved into the sculptures, and often with a beard, whereas Xiutecuhtli's appearance is much more youthful and vigorous, in line with his marked association with rulership and powerful warriors.

			Classifying real Gods on alignment charts doesn't sit well for some, especially when the alignment really doesn't jive with the known mythology. Use this description as inspiration for a better homebrew.

Huehueteotl name translates roughly to old god. It seems to connect the Old God to certain Mayan deities called Mam "Grandfather". Huehueteotl is frequently considered to overlap with, or be another aspect of, a central Mexican/Aztec deity associated with fire, Xiuhtecuhtli. However, Huehueteotl is characteristically depicted as an aged or even decrepit being, wrinkles are carved into the sculptures, and often with a beard, whereas Xiutecuhtli's appearance is much more youthful and vigorous, in line with his marked association with rulership and powerful warriors.

At this occasion the god was represented as young with turquoise and quetzal feathers for ceremonial purposes.

Perhaps this transformation of young into old can explain the fact that in the codices, Xiuhtecuhtli appears as a vigorous young man, whereas his representations in stone show him to be aged and decrepit.

===Mythology===
Huhueteotl iconography has been found from around the gulf of Mexico and around central America.
