Chronicle of Atzoatl is a misc map item. It can be created when the player has a personal Map Device and Alva is ready to offer to open portals to the present day The Temple of Atzoatl. The player can interact with Alva to itemize the temple instead. Once itemized, right-clicking on the item while it is in the inventory shows the temple layout. This does not work if the stash is open.

If a Chronicle of Atzoatl has at least one tier 3 Incursion Room, then when the temple is itemized, the flavour text of the item will differ, corresponding to that of a random tier 3 room that is present. Each quote is attributed to Icius Perandus.
