NAME: Bacab - AKA : "BACABS" - Mayan Directions Gods

- Four Gods of Holding Up The Sky

- These are the four Gods of the Cardinal Points of the Compass. As the Maya didn’t have any cardinals or compasses, just think of them as giant entities who hold up the four corners of the sky. These are the deities to point you in the right direction. They will also help with color co-ordination.

- According to some, the BACABS were originally one deity named BACAB, the son of ITZAMNA and IXCHEL. For some reason he was not satisfied with being a single god and split himself into four separate entities.

- Now his four spiritual subsidiaries stand at the four corners of the world and make sure that directions always point to where they’re supposed to. Their names and attributes are as follows:
CAN-TZICNAL is North and likes White.
HOZANEK is South and prefers Yellow.
HOBNIL is East and favors Red.
ZAC-CIMI is West and is keen on Black.

About Rix Eggs

Rix eggs are very soft, almost like a plush toy. They have small feathers that grow out of the outer rim. These feathers can be plucked without doing any harm to the developing creature inside. Great for tickling!

However, if these eggs are squeezed too tightly, they will break despite their seeming malleability.

About the Rix Creature

Rix (plural Ri) are extremely friendly creatures that roam the lower skies of Ark. Their eyes are ultra-bright blue, which gives them the ability to see through some (but not all) objects. This means that a Rix can know what's coming around the corner before it's in view.

Rix are, however, also known for their terribly shrill cry. Their cry is not bad when you're far away, but it is painful when you're in close proximity.

If you are ever visited by a Rix while sitting next to your significant other, your love is considered to be blessed by the Universe.
