The Mayan Temple of Ek Chuaj was a temple located in Mexico near the border with Texas, and housed the legendary Sword of Ek Chuaj.
Appearance[]
Exterior[]
The temple, from the outside, closely resembled other real-world structures created by the Maya civilization. As such, it appears to have been made out of limestone and formed a pyramid shape. The top of the temple was partially caved in. It had an entrance consisting of two massive doors, but they were strong enough to resist a bomb exploding on them. A secret entrance existed, activated by a brick being pushed in.
Interior[]
The interior of the temple had far more vines growing on its walls. One of the pathways was broken off, though a series of wooden platforms existed as a means of descending underground. A proper staircase followed after, leading to the Eternal Pit of Despair, an alleged bottomless pit.
Eternal Pit of Despair[]
This pit was engraved with brick and column patterns. Shortly past it was the entrance of Ah Puch's chamber.

Ah Puch's Chamber[]
A platform for the Mask of Ah Puch sat before a chiseled door, appropriately featuring the likeness of Ah Puch. Beyond the doors was a golden-brown room with yet another pyramid, displaying the Sword of Ek Chuaj. In both this chamber and the preceding room were two rows of pillars holding up the structure.
