Description
(These realms are different from the Aztec realms)

The realms you see here are the Mayan Realms. Home of the Mayan gods and the afterlives. Held by a Ceiba tree of life the “Yaxche” and underneath the tree held by the roots is the Jaws of the Underworld, it came from the Starry Deer Alligator.

The realm on top of the tree is called Mu’uk Kaab.
This was Heaven to the Mayan and was believed to have 13 layers, and each layer had its own god. Uppermost was the muan bird, a kind of screech-owl. The souls are ruled by the kings and queens of the past. They watch their descendants.

Below is Xibalba, or the underworld. The “Place of Fright” Xibalba was a cold, unhappy place that was divided into nine layers, each with its own Death Lord. When someone died of natural causes, their spirit went to the underworld where it had to work its way up through the layers to get to the supreme heaven. Women who died in childbirth and those who died as a sacrifice, as well as sacrificial victims of the ball game, Pok A Tok, however, got a quick ticket to go directly to the supreme heaven immediately after death.

The remaining ten Lords are often referred to as demons and are given commission and domain over various forms of human suffering: to cause sickness, starvation, fear, destitution, pain, and ultimately death.

The city was home to at least six deadly houses filled with trials for visitors. The first was Dark House, a house that was completely dark inside. The second was Rattling House or Cold House, full of bone-chilling cold and rattling hail. The third was Jaguar House, filled with hungry jaguars. The fourth was Bat House, filled with dangerous shrieking bats, and the fifth was Razor House, filled with blades and razors that moved about of their own accord. In another part of the Popol Vuh, a sixth test, Hot House, filled with fires and heat, is identified. The purpose of these tests was to either kill or humiliate people placed into them if they could not outwit the test.

The lords of Xibalba were defeates by twin boys, that made aure they had little power over humanity. But they are plotting and waiting.
