Mictlan was the underworld my ancestors believed in, the Nahua. One of them anyway. Where you went depended on how you died. You'd journey nine levels, following Xolotl, and face challenges. It was ruled by the gods of the Underworld, Mictlantecuhtli and his wife, Mictecacihuatl.

That was before the spaniards came, long, long time ago. No one's supposed to follow that stuff anymore. I wouldn't have wanted to live back then with all the sacrifice but I like knowing my history, I guess. Better than some pretending it doesn't exist.
