The Cuotl
Little is known of the inhabitants of the Cuotl jungle, but all that is known is feared. There are legends of the Cuotl being visited by the chariot of the gods a thousand years ago, but the people themselves had always been little seen, until recently. Now, commanding powers that can be explained by neither Alin mystics nor the strongest minds of the Vinci academies, the Cuotl have made their presence, and their intentions, unmistakably known.
The lands of the Cuotl are filled with steaming jungles, towering trees, and fetid swamps. Visitors are discouraged from exploring this inhospitable place, as they encounter everything from stinging insects to horrifying diseases. The provinces of the Cuotl are neatly divided, with the borders being defined by unseen energies rather than topography. Despite the overreaching power of the False Gods worshipped by most Cuotl, divisions still run deep among the people. Tribes war upon each other for control of valuable resources, to expand their dwindling territory, or due to the whims of the enigmatic False Gods.
The Cuotl’s civilization utilizes strange powers and energies that even they do not fully comprehend. Although Timonium is crucial for these “machines” to function, faith, belief, and willpower seem to be just as important for them to function.
National Power
The Cuotl control powerful and exotic energies, which they and wield these on the battlefield. The National Power of the Cuotl is Star Bolt, which reveals hidden areas of the map and creates an aura of light that does significant damage to enemies. In order to use Star Bolt, a player must first spend Research points to purchase the Divine Power track, below.
