Tezcatl Yohualli, Lord of the Night

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral | Domains: Knowledge, Trickery, War

Patron god of the Tabaxi, Tezcatl Yohualli is sometimes called the “Jaguar Lord”, or “Lord of the Night” by his priesthood. He is a mercurial deity and his motives are never quite clear, though the Tabaxi know that he always looks out for his chosen people. His domains include secret knowledge, duplicity, the night, and war. He often manifests a cloud of obsidian smoke, or in the guise of a large, prowling jaguar, his voice always tinged with mirth and curiosity.
Tezactl Yohualli allegedly has a home in the Towers of Night, though he is most often found wandering the Outer Planes, appearing here and there in the shadows of other deities. In most depictions, he is portrayed as a tall, well-muscled tabaxi with black and yellow bands painted across his eyes and wearing a black cloak and feathered headdress. His symbol is a cat’s paw wreathed in smoke, and the jaguar is his sacred animal.
