Ojer Taq is the Oltec god of civilization, "congress of all people past, present, and future."[1] They are closely associated with Chimil, and as one of the Deep Gods of Ixalan's Core, they are considered one of her children.

Inspiration

Ojer Taq's face is a mask known as the "three ages of man," "death and rebirth," or "triple death" popular across Mesoamerican cultures including the Aztecs, Maya civilization, and pre-Aztec Teotihuacan.[2] Its inner face, depicting a young person, represents the beginning of life at birth. This face is encased within an elderly person, representing adult life. The outer face, encasing both, is a death mask, representing the end of earthly life. They may be inspired by Viracocha, the Inca god of civilization.
