Azcala

Azcala-A realm in the JR&WoB game A realm based very loosely on Aztec mythology and using a vast amount of Aztec stylized art.

---

As shadow swarms and chaos swirls bastions of Order have there places of ascendancy. A place of Order cast against the flow of wild chaos.

Azcala is a realm of 9 tiers. Each level a vast land comprising lands and seas as vast as a thousand earths or more. Its sense is that of a Primal realm though its volume is not.

Stories of Azcala are few in Amber. It had some brief interactions with Amber in the ancient past but the details are lost to antiquity. It was not close enough to any Golden Circle realm to have left a memory of its time. Echos of a war between Amber and Azcala are spoken of but it was squashed by Oberon in its infancy. Like many realms that makes war on Amber, their reasons are their own and often the insults are as well.
