The world of the ances
The World of the Ancestors was populated by gods who were able to bring the Ruler back to life and restore the capabilities he lost after death. This was home to the forces that rejuvenated the fertility of the earth and sea. Human sacrifices, drinking the blood of sacrificed prisoners and the transmission of seminal fluid were the payment that humans had to make to the gods to allow their Ruler to recover his fertility and ensure that his people had water to irrigate their fields and an abundance of marine resources.
