Xulu
Maya · deity · mythic · Recorded classification
Xulu and Pacam are the hinge of the entire Xibalba narrative and they were not in the registry. The twins cannot defeat the lords of death by force; they arrange their own execution and plant the instruction for its aftermath with the diviners the lords will consult. The resurrection is a con, run through the underworld's own advisory apparatus, and these two are the channel.
