The three destinations of the Aztec dead who were not sent to Mictlan: Tlalocan of those taken by water, Tonatiuh Ichan the house of the sun for warriors and Chichihuacuauhco the nursing tree for infants. A realm belongs here when its cited article describes an Aztec heavenly afterlife. It excludes Aztec underworlds. Examples in the atlas include Tlalocan, Tonatiuh Ichan and Chichihuacuauhco. The three places are told apart by the manner of death, so an entry is admitted only when the article names the kind of death that leads there.
