Description
Nexal is the capital city of the Maztican Empire. For centuries, the Eye of Zaltec—a fist-sized ruby—surmounted the Great Pyramid in this city.
Significance
The Eye of Zaltec is a relic of the cult of Zaltec, and its dagger-like point was used to plunge into the hearts of countless sacrifices. The gem eventually made its way to Omu, where it became one of the fabled treasures sought by adventurers.
Connection to the Adventure
The Company of the Yellow Banner, an adventuring band, entered Omu specifically to find the Eye of Zaltec but was never seen again. In the Tomb of the Nine Gods, the Eye of Zaltec is guarded by a stone juggernaut in area 62.
