Cizin Seven Death

Toltec Cloud Painter needs a conch shell to properly mix his paints. There is one in the whirlpool at the base of the Eternal Falls. Unfortunately the whirlpool is guarded by Cizin Seven Death. If he defeats you he plans to use your head as a canoe.

Cizin is a Mayan god of death and earthquakes. He is the most important Maya death god in the Mayan culture. To the Yucatán Mayas he was Hun-Came and Vucub-Came.

Cizin

The God Cizin goes by several names like Kisen, Yom Cimil, Kisin, Ah Puch, Xibalba, Yum Cimil, Hunhau, Ah Puchah, Au Puch, Cum Hau, Eopuco, Hu Ahau, Tzontemoc, Ahpuch, and Ahal Puch. He was sometimes called Kimi. Mayans today call him Yum Cim or Yum Cimil.

The name Cizin probably means stench. Cizin comes from the root “ciz” which means flatulence. His name is said to mean Stinking One.

According to Lacandon myth when a person dies Cizin burns the soul on his mouth and his anus. When the soul complains Cizin douses the soul in cold water, causing the soul to complain more leading Cizin to burn them until the soul disintegrates into nothing.
