It is unknown how Tletonatlan was established, but from old records as well as folk tales from elderly civilians of
Zenpatlan, the city was originally compromised of three small civilizations born from three beasts individually. The first tribe was born from the bones of a jaguar, the second created from the blood of an eagle, and the third from the flesh of a snake. The three tribes fought for control of a major territory which was rumoured to be plenty of resources, and the wars caught the attention of an unknown person (the Dollmaker) who described himself as a scribe. The mysterious person descended upon the tribes and gave every single person a ragdoll, to which he then told them to bury them deep within the earth and wait for 5 days during the sunrise. The tribes, who were perturbed by this mysterious person, nevertheless did as they were told and soon enough after 5 days, plants sprouted bountiful harvests of fruits and vegetables. The tribes thought of the mysterious person as a messenger from the gods to coexist together, and so they reached a mutual agreement to establish a new city and merge themselves into one single civilization. The city was named Tlentonatlan, named that way because the people thought the end of the wars as a "the first sun in a long while".

The Dollmaker, who was in an experimental era, created a beast that was a mix of a jaguar, snake and eagle and later sent it down as a protector of the city. This creature was also worshipped by the people of Tlentonatlan and referred it as Koatl.

During the worst year for Tlentonatlan, where there was a massive wave of drought and disease, Koatl's feathers and scales appeared to lose color, which put the people in a panicked state as they thought the land was dying because of the snake losing its color. As a result, a power struggle for control of the city surged. The final decision was to offer three sacrifices for Koatl; one offering flesh, the second offering blood and the third bones. The sacrifices were carried out every 5 days and comprised of young teenagers as teenagehood was considered the pinnacle of life.

• "Tlense" means first, "tonati" means sun. Tlensetonatitlan means "land of the first sun".
