Zaylin Reedwalker has discovered how to awaken the dormant Moon School Obelisk. You will need the Moon PLatter which is supposed to be in the Tears of the Moon Shrine. When you discover it is missing, Chalchiu Green Skirt suggests to you that Eke Chuah may have taken it.
Eke Chuah, a deathless Moon Skull Spellbinder has indeed taken the Moon Platter and brought it to the Chamber of Red Sorrow in the Greenstone Mines. He would like nothing more than to destroy you.
Ek Chuaj, (also known as Ek Chuah, Ekchuah, God M) is a Postclassic Maya merchant deity as well as a patron of cacao. Being the god of merchants and the god of cocoa is not dissimilar as the cocoa bean was used as currency in Meso-American cultures. Ek Chuaj is part of a pantheon of Maya deities that have been depicted in hieroglyphs and artwork of various Maya sites and has been interpreted as a significant part of Maya religion.
Ek Chuaj can either be depicted as black-and-white striped, as he is in the Dresden Codex, or entirely black, as he is in the Madrid Codex. Other distinguishing characteristics of Ek Chuaj are his mouth, which is encircled by a red-brown border, his large lower lip, and the presence of two curved lines to the right of his eye. Other depictions of Ek Chuaj show him as an old man with only a single tooth. This is the appearance he most regularly takes in the Madrid Codex. He has been depicted with a pack of goods commonly carried by merchants, and his carrying of a burden is also indicated by the rope or tumpline tied around his head. He may also carry a spear and, in some instances, a scorpion’s tail.
