Ancient Sacred Mountain
Last updated 2026-05-11
Ancient Sacred Mountain is an area located in Natlan.
It is located within the Great Volcano of Tollan and contains the Sacred City of Tollan, the capital of the ancient dragon civilization that once dominated Natlan. The player gains access to it via the World Quest Nahuatzin's Leap in Series Path to the Flaming Peaks.
Initially, the player has access to the upper level of the area. Other subareas are accessed through quest progress. Once the other levels are unlocked, the player can teleport to them with the local waypoints.
The player cannot jump down to the lower levels of the area from an upper level, even if they can access it. Doing so will transform the player into a fireball that brings them to a nearby landmass, and unlike normal falling out of bounds, this does not drain HP or Energy.

Interactables
Record Left by the "Flamestealer"
This interactable is found in an underground room north of the Chamber of Deliberation.
- "...My beloved son is born, just as I had planned..."
- "...How beautiful he is, such a flawless creation. I can feel the blood of the dragon flowing through his veins. Even my brother, should he lay eyes upon him, would struggle to discern his true lineage at first glance..."
- "...Beshackled by their feeble flesh, human souls are forever incapable of fully realizing their will. But not so my beloved son, for he shall surpass all of humanity and take his rightful place as the protagonist of my 'story'..."
- "...His strength is undeniable. Even within the confines of the vishaps' nest, when it comes to feeding time, he always claims the dragon's share. To conquer or be conquered, and grow stronger with every trial — just as it has been with all who have become dragons before him..."
- "...But I did not create him merely to raise another lord of dragonkind..."
- ...
- "...Were I to steer him step by step, shaping his ascent to power just as I dictated, guiding him to rule over the human tribes and eventually become their king... Without question, he would make the choices laid out before him, the choices I envisioned. Then it would all be meaningless..."
- "...Perhaps it would be unwise to keep him here too long..."
