Ochkanatlan Adventure Team
Last updated 2025-10-20
The Ochkanatlan Adventure Team (unofficial name) was a group of adventurers who journeyed to Ochkanatlan around the time of the Cataclysm in search of the treasure of the Tonatiuh, which was rumored to be able to repel the Abyss. Only one member, the young mystic Liriwu, returned alive.

Lore
When the Cataclysm struck, it plunged the tribes into a desperate war, seemingly without end. In an attempt to help their kinsfolk, a group of adventurers traveled to Ochkanatlan in search of a "weapon" created by the ancient dragons that could defeat the Abyss, located in "a city above the clouds." It was long believed to be a myth and no adventurer who sought it ever returned, but the adventure team chose to pursue it nonetheless.[4][5]
When they made it to the ruined city, it was already overrun with Abyssal corrosion. They set up an encampment there. At some point, Titu spotted Liriwu trying to sneak away and found her a safe tower to hide in, away from the action. The Abyssal influence in the city also began to drive some people insane; others were stealthily replaced by Tenebrous Mimifloras in disguise.[1]
Taika, Copan, Legba, and Titu eventually made it on board the Tonatiuh, but found that the "ancient weapon" was not what they thought it was. They perished as a result.[6] After this, the mission was considered a failure. The rest of the team planned a tactical retreat; Quenin was one of the people responsible for protecting the evacuees as they fled. There was apparently a Flower-Feather Clan rescue team called in to assist, though it is unknown if they arrived in time.[1]
Sometime later, Liriwu returned to the encampment, but all she found were corpses ravaged by the dragon. She ultimately returned to the tribes, vowing to keep their stories alive, if nothing else.[4]
A few decades later, Taika's daughter Bona would make her own journey to Ochkanatlan, following in her late father's footsteps. Taika had somehow "left the key to those gates" (Pyrophosphorite) to her, allowing her to reach the Tonatiuh as well.[4]
