While the Fallen have managed to secure small amounts of the Cuotl God technology, their struggle seems doomed in the face of such overwhelming power.Ī unique aspect of Cuotl building technology is the existence of a device known as a 'shield.' It is a force of crackling blue lines, apparently electrical in nature, that repel fast-moving objects. Led by former High Priests of their religion, the Fallen lead a struggle to free the people from this oppressive way of life. This has led a number of the Cuotl people to rebel against this form of society. The religious theocracy imposed by the worship of the Cuotl gods is uncompromising and harsh. The outwardly primitive-looking appearance of their dress and domestic tools is in sharp contrast to their architecture and weapons of war, which would seem to support this assertion. The Gods are said to have provided the amazing technological advances the Cuotl possess. They are polytheistic, but the overwhelming focus of their religion seems to be on four specific Gods who are said to walk among the people. Their culture is known for complex social rituals and a focus on religion. The Cuotl are an ancient people living far to the east, in the jungles beyond the Great Desert.
