Thank you very much for the feedback.

When I created Raiju, I had intended for him to have been a spirit from the Blessed Isles, and upon its transformation into the Shadow Isles, Raiju learned the secrets of the Black Mist, before being sealed in an amulet for his protection.

For millennia now, he's been protected by a long line of Grandmasters from a secret society dedicated to preserving Raiju and warding off corruption. That secret society has been constantly on the move, from Demacia to Noxus, and now a monastery in Ionia.

The Black Lotus, a society which believes Raiju's power could be used to better the fates of humankind, intends to release Raiju but shackle him so as to control his actions.

Upon the assassination of the last Grandmaster, Raiju was released by the victim himself, but in the process tainting Raiju with the touch of death. Thus, Raiju was made anew by the Grandmaster, but his power ironically corrupted by the Grandmaster himself.

I fully understand that Raiju has become somewhat one-dimensional, and I am already in the process of rewriting a lore. More changes will be yet to come, thank you again.
