In the great forest of the Yucatan peninsula and under the shadow of the growing Mayan city state of Chitchen Itza Ixchell's tribe lived in peace as hunter gatherers with a simple but happy existence.
It was a great temple that these mayan's built and though it was drenched in blood and the skull racks at its base were full and plentyful, the gods forever thirsted. Soon the smaller tribes began to disappear, their women and young sold into slavery and their fathers and brothers given as offerings to the great sun god.
The time came for Ixchell one day. A raiding party sweeping into their village burning and killing. They took her hostage and tied her with others to be sold in the market next to the great temple. For three years she was a slave having been sold to a high ranking noble and for all that time she did not see or hear her family. She served her violent master who beat her often until the day she stood at the base of the great temple and watched the heads and bodies of her father and brothers tumble down the its steps one by one.
In a fit of rage she killed her master and ran into the jungle never to be seen alive again. Surviving alone in the jungle would not have been easy but she was never given much of a chance as Ichtaca soon claimed her and called her into the ranks of the undead.
Together they gather power and worship the true god, Camazotz. Both seeking revenge, and blood.
