Biography
Xotli was an ancient Demon-God of the Elder Night who existed long ago where he was worshipped by primitive man. In those times, he developed a cult of followers on Atlantis till around 18,000 years ago when the Great Cataclysm afflicted the land. The surviving Atlanteans fled to the mainland of Thuria though the Priests of Xotli and their slaves managed to arrive at Ptahuacan on their ships powered by a mysterious power source. Upon arriving, they began ruling over the land and dominated the natives where they claimed that their island was the only remaining part of the surface after the cataclysm with everywhere else being submerged under water. In this time, they continued their worship of Xotli and practiced human sacrifice to the demon-god.
