Tlazolteotl (Intermediate God)
Tlazolteotl is the goddess of guilty loves, pleasure, and vice. She is an eater of filth and a sinister seductress who tempts virtuous men to their ruin. In her true form, she appears as a scantily-clad woman of great beauty, though she is a gifted illusionist who can appear in many guises.
Roleplaying Tips
Although Tlazolteotl herself is base and debauched, she demands that humankind follow a strict moral code – and delights in punishing humans who do not.
To this end, she sends her avatar to Tenochtitlan to test the resolve of good men. Often, the avatar uses her invisible dagger to slay the victim after he has succumbed to her charms.
But in the case of powerful men, she prefers to expose the indiscretion in such a manner as to ruin his life and reputation.
Omens from Tlazolteotl include offal raining from the sky, unexplained yearnings, and physical pleasure inappropriate
to the circumstance.
