Ojer Pakpatiq is the Oltec god of time. As one of the Deep Gods of Ixalan's Core, they are believed to be a child of Chimil.[1] They are the second highest ranked god after Ojer Taq.[2]
History
Ojer Pakpatiq is the lover of Ojer Taq and second god of the Oltec. In contrast to their lover, Ojer Pakpatiq is not humanoid but takes the form of a winged serpent that appears to loop and coil without end. The Oltec revere Ojer Pakpatiq for his loyalty to Ojer Taq and his candor; despite his outwardly terrifying appearance and the often confounding nature of his domain, Ojer Pakpatiq is renowned for his frank candor. His adherents and celebrants seek to emulate this in their veneration of him: though their rituals might be esoteric, their study should be concise and undertaken for the betterment of all Komon Winaq. Ojer Pakpatiq is associated with learned scholars, builders, scientists, Echoes, spellcasters, fisherfolk, sailors, time, and waters of all types. Most schools have altars, murals, or mosaics dedicated to or depicting Ojer Pakpatiq; indeed, many of his temples double as schools for the advanced study of the sciences.[2]
Inspiration
Ojer Pakpatiq is inspired by the Feathered Serpent god, known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs and Kukulkan or Tohil to the Maya. This deity is associated with knowledge, fitting for a blue deity.
