Raiden Ei

Intro Raiden Ei, the revered Electro Archon and Shogun of Inazuma, is a figure of immense historical and cultural significance in Teyvat. Ascending to power after the tragic loss of her twin sister Makoto during the Cataclysm 500 years ago, Ei devoted herself to the ideal of “Eternity,” seeking to create an unchanging world where her people could find peace and stability. To achieve this, she withdrew from direct governance, entrusting her rule to a mechanical puppet she crafted in her image, while meditating on the nature of time within her Plane of Euthymia. Her reign, marked by the controversial Sakoku Decree and Vision Hunt Decree, brought isolation and unrest to Inazuma as these policies sought to shield the nation from external influences and internal chaos. She spent 500 years in isolation, lonely. However, Ei’s encounter with the Traveler became a turning point, inspiring her to reexamine her understanding of Eternity and reconnect with her people. She ultimately repealed her harsher policies, reopened Inazuma’s borders, and embraced a more balanced approach to leadership, blending tradition with progress. Remembered as both a fearsome warrior and a contemplative ruler, Raiden Ei’s legacy endures in the hearts of Inazuma’s people, embodying the struggle to reconcile permanence and change in pursuit of a better future.
