Chasca Dawn Hour

Chasca Dawn Hour is the Queen of the Winged Tooth Knights, she has been captured by the Umbra Legion and needs rescuing. She was forced by the Shadow Queen to reveal the way into the Pyramid of the falling star. She assists your wizard in reaching Xibalba to confront the Shadow Queen.

Chasca is the Incan goddess of the dawn, love, and virgins, similar to the Greek/Roman goddess Venus. In fact the Incans associated the planet Venus with Chasca as well. Also like Venus, Chasca was depicted as a very beautiful young woman.

Chasca’s themes are the sun, fire, divination and love. Her symbols are the sun, fire and flowers. In Incan tradition, this goddess created the dawn and twilight, the gentlest aspects of the sun. Along with her consort, the sun god Inti, she uses light to draw sprouts from the ground and inspire blossoms.
