Patzcoatl, or the Western Ocean, was the massive body of water on the western side of the continent of Maztica.[2]
Geography[]
The Western Ocean washed the shores of Huetle Island, and had several villages built on its shores: Ixit, Honal, and Azcat, while the Bay of Kolan was a sheltered shallow bay inhabited by the Kolan human tribes.[2]
Inhabitants[]
The shores of Patzcoatl were inhabited by the sea-faring Metahel tribes of Maztica, who were exceptional fishers. The Metahel peoples also hunted whales that inhabited the waters of the Western Ocean. The tribe also traded in materials gathered, caught, and produced from the Patzcoatl ocean: shells, mussels, dried fish, as well as lamp whale oil.[3]
Kolan tribes of Maztica dwelt in humble villages along the shores of the Western Ocean, sheltered from the Huacli nation by a mountain chain.[1]
The Azuposi spirit known as the Spider Woman, or Sus'sistinako dwelled in Wenimats, in a kiva from whence her lover, the Sun, visited her every day, bringing the light to the True World.[4]
