Chalchihuitlicue (Intermediate God)
Also known as the “Goddess of the Jade Petticoat”, Chalchihuitlicue is the deity of running water and was the protrectress of the Fourth Sun. She delights in blessing chaste loves, sheltering children, and protecting mankind in general.
It was through her influence that her evil husband, Tlaloc, created his paradise for those who die by water. In her true form, she is a beautiful woman wearing a skirt of green jade.
She has the power to turn humans into any animal form. When the Fourth Sun ended in a devastating flood , she saved mankind by
turning her worshipers into fish.
Roleplaying Tips
Chalchihuitlicue is a rarity in the Aztec pantheon: a deity who makes a habit of helping mankind. There is a 1 % chance that she will send her avatar to aid any worshiper who sacrifices his or her most valuable piece of jade jewelry by throwing it into a bottomless pool.
The chance increases to 25% if the sacrificer is a priest making the request on behalf of the needy.
Omens from Chalchihuitlicue often involve the sound of running water, such as an unexplained musical trickling to denote pleasure, or the roar of a waterfall to denote anger.
