The gods demand sacrifice! Only by giving of our blood and life can the sun continue to rise!
Tlamacazqui are priests of the old Olman gods. There used to be an Olman imperium in the Amedio jungle, a league of city-states. When these cities fell, most Olman turned to Animism or to druidism. A tlamacazqui may worship one or more of the Olman gods, but more importantly the subscribe to the notions of blood sacrifice as a way to rejuvenate the world.
Alignment
Olman goods are almost universally evil, and often chaotic. This makes even good Olman societies seem cruel and bloodthirsty to others. Good Olman submit to the demands of these gods while trying to make the best they can of life. Evil Olman relish their gods' lust for blood and pain and often advance in their service, attaining high social rank even in a society that is not otherwise evil. An Olman high court can be very evil and cruel, yet administer a prosperous land where many people lead good lives.

Giver of Blood
At 2nd level you learn the first secrets of blood sacrifice. During a short rest, you inflict damage on yourself equal to your level. You then recover used spell slots, of a combined value up to half your druid level, rounded up. You can do this repeatedly, but only once during each short rest. After this sacrifice, you can spend hit Dice normally to recover Hit Points. This feature otherwise functions identically to the wizard’s Arcane Recovery feature.
Tlamacazqui Spells
At 2nd level your link to the old gods of the Olman give you access to certain spells.
At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Tlamacazqui Spells table. Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Beginning at 6th level, you can
Mask of the Divine
At 10th level and beyond, you can spend an action to assume the mantle of one of the gods you worship. You must have and don a mask representing the god whose identity you are assuming. When you do this, you gain a number of benefits.
- You gain advantage on all Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
- Chose a type of damage, you gain resistance against that damage.
- Any spell you cast that deals damage replaces the type of damage with the type you chose to gain resistance to. So if you choose resistance to fire, a Steel Wind Strike you cast will inflict fire damage.
The effect lasts for one minute. You can use Mask of the Divine a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses when you finish a long rest.
