Nauyotol Down In the Hole

Nauyotol Down In the Hole guards the giant shell that Nahuel Rivertooth has sent your wizard to collect. He guards this giant shell with all the fierceness of a creature trapped in a hole.

Nauhyotl Teuhctlamacazqui was a ruler of Culhuacan from 1347–1413. His son Acoltzin, fought with Chimalpopoca, when he ruled Tenochtitlan.

Culhuacan (Classical Nahuatl: Cōlhuàcān) was one of the Nahuatl-speaking pre-Columbian city-states of the Valley of Mexico. According to tradition, Culhuacan was founded by the Toltecs under Mixcoatl and was the first Toltec city. The Nahuatl speakers agreed that Culhuacán was the first city to give its rulers the title of “speaker” (tlatoani).
