Raiden is the Deity of Reflex. However, in ancient times, he was the king of an ancient elven empire until it fell down due to the poor decisions he took throughout his journey. He was a tyrant emperor that didn’t care about anything else but his own desires, but time taught him a lesson and he ended up being cursed with immortality by a witch.

Raiden is the Deity of Chaos. He is described as a dragon capable of controlling lightning and negative emotions. He is responsible for all the wars and diplomatic conflicts that have happened throughout history.

Chaos was the first thing to appear when this world was first created. Raiden found his paradise in the primordial state the world was in when it was formed and blessed it with lightning. However, it didn't last for too long. As other deities woke up and were born, his heaven slowly disappeared, and his power was never the same when the world was completely terraformed.


Thanks to his powers being dissected, Euthymia was born from the dead waste of his egg. Thus, it is said that hate was born at this exact moment.

Although their conflict is far from over, Raiden doesn't let her sister's presence overshadow his.

As a primordial deity, Raiden is a sea dragon with three heads, similar to a hydra. He lives in the depths of the sea. It is said that if a storm happens, he's near that area. Thanks to this, pirates venerate him as the patron of storms.
