Flynn?ponders the water girl¡¯s message about the Court of Cemanahuac.
Cemanahuac pronounced Say-man-AH-wok, in ancient Payit means?a
place surrounded by water. Flynn vaguely recalls a very long and somewhat dull epic told by a cloistered cult of Moon Druids in the Snowflake Mountains about the
court and a giant slug, the prideful daughter of the moon. The cult was one of the few places in the realms where Flynn wasn¡¯t physically attracted to anyone at all.
No, wait. Not that message. S?t?. The evil Bat-God of disease and plague.
Camazotz. That¡¯s the one. ´Ü?³Ù³ú¨ª±ô?³ó?.
Fenn?had previously mentioned no familiarity with the name, but?²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¡¯²õ?eyes
light up at its mention.?
¡°Zotzilaha, called Camazotz in Faerunian common, is the Payit god of bats and horrible things that fly in the night,¡± she explains. ¡°He also holds influence over their underworld, and is associated with disease and plague. He is venerated
as a god and worshipped as a protector of crops, sending bats to eat ravenous insects and diseases to kill them off. Some tribes also worship him as God of Fire and believe he lives deep in the volcano.¡±
Brother Ashley?frowns. ¡°God of bats, plague, and fire? Sounds like a wonderful bloke.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget death and the underworld,¡± the Dragonborn,?Kallan, adds.
¡°When the Amnian ships began arriving in the last century, they considered Sotz to be an evil deity, but the Payit don¡¯t think that way,¡±?Mira?continues.
¡°They view bats, fire, and death to be parts of nature and common life. To them, he¡¯s just like the Sun God, Water Goddess, and the rest.¡± Her mind wanders momentarily. ¡°Imagine actually meeting a god,¡± she whispers in awe with a wide grin.
Sweet William?ponders the next move. Just outside this room is the 45 foot wide, 10 foot across empty corridor with the door leading back to the
secret door in the wildcat jungle room.
You didn¡¯t get a good look due to all the attacking wildcats, but the wildcat jungle room did have several doors around it.
Tabby?snores softly and another hour passes.
Gordon?also dozes as?Brother Ashley?nods
off¡
(-yawn-)
And what do you do?
