Chalchihuitlicue (LL)

__TOC__
==Chalchihuitlicue (intermediate god)==
Also known as the "Goddess of the Jade Petticoat," Chalchihuitlicue is the deity of running water and was the protrectress of the Fourth Sun. She delights in blessing chaste loves, sheltering children, and protecting mankind in general. It was through her influence that her evil husband, Tlaloc, created his paradise for those who die by water. In her true form, she is beautiful woman wearing a skirt of green jade. She has the power to turn 3-300 humans into any animal form. When the Fourth Sun ended in a devastating flood, she saved mankind by turning her worshipers into fish.
Role-playing Notes: Chalchihuitlicue is a rarity in the Aztec pantheon: a deity who makes a habit of helping mankind. There is a 1% chance that she will send her avatar to aid any worshiper who sacrifices his or her most valuable piece of jade jewelry by throwing it into a bottomless pool. The chance increases to 25% if the sacrificer is a priest making the request on behalf of the needy.
Omens from Chalchihuitlicue often involve the sound of running water, such as an unexplained musical trickling to denote pleasure, or the roar of a waterfall to denote anger.
Statistics: AL eg; WAL any good; AoC flowing water, love, children; SY petticoat.

==Duties of the Priesthood==
One of the most important duties of Chalchihuitlicue's clergy is sheltering orphans, and any temple dedicated to her is bound to be filled with parentless waifs. Foul water is also an abomination to her, so her priests spend a fair amount of their time unblocking streams, draining marshes, and so on.

==Sage Advice (Dragon Issue #198)==
These are unofficial suggestions for using the optional spheres of priest spells from the Tome of Magic with the deities in Legends & Lore. I will work through one such pantheon a month until they are all done. Here is the list for the Aztec pantheon:
* Chalchihuitlicue: Major: Time; Minor: Wards.
