Raiden, power of fletchers and god of thunder, is one of Susanoo's constant companions. While the god of storms shrieks and destroys, Raiden accompanies him on his mighty thunder-drums, and sends forth random bolts of lightning until Susanoo has exhausted himself.

Raiden's a petty power; if he feels he's not getting the respect he deserves, he does what he can to impel Susanoo into a murderous rage. He encourages strife and war - especially war that slays folks with arrows, for it's said that every time a basher's killed by an arrow, Raiden's larder grows.

His realm on Carceri is a place of exploding lights and thunder, insulated from the rest of the plane by a thick covering of dark clouds. Any basher who vistis the place should also be wary of Raiden's proxy, the tanuki - a fierce and intelligent cross between a canine and a raccoon. The tanuki's a tough, cruel beast, and it likes to use its shape-changing power to lead sods to their doom.
