Yucatan

Yucatan is an area of mystery for most of the population of Xyllomer. One of the largest continents almost its entire face is covered by jungle amidst which clearings have been made for a number of town and even a large city.

Aside from the dangers of the jungle, there is another reason that so few people travel through the area and that is that it is governed by the followers of the god Huitzilopochtli with their tradition of sacrificing visitors to their god.

Welcome, traveler, to Yucatan. Before you expands a scenic vista of broad leaved trees stretching as far as the eye can see. The cover of the vegatation is broken only by the places were old time and the modern era join together to provide for the people's of this part of the world.

Far off in the distance you can see where the ancient building prowess of the native people's has come together to produce a wonderous reminder of the near forgotten past in the form of an enormous pyramid, towering above the floor. It seems to capture your eye's glance and bind it to itself but at the same time to cause a feeling of incomprehensible nervousness that finally drives your sight to seek new visions.

With a little bit harder looking at the forest below you are able to see a large but young city. Even from here you can tell that the residents must be among the wealthiest of the world. The buildings themselves tell of ancient tradition, its origin steeped in mystery and dripping with intrigue. There is also a smaller village that must be a sister village though it seems to be less well off than the larger. In this smaller village it seems that the tradition is no weaker, but only the money scarcer. The buildings seem very old and many of them have begun to crumble and decay.

Suddenly realizing that in the excitement you have forgotten to look down at your feet, you do so. There, quite near at hand, you see a river with muddy green waters filled with life. Driftwood drifts down the stream and you are able to see alligators there.
