The elder of the very storms that tremble through the valley, and the lighting that crashes upon where he pleases, Rugong, son of Otamu and Umato, is the god of thunder, lightning, wind, and rain. Unlike the demigods of Shilon, Rugong is an ever-higher being, known for being one of the most powerful gods of Shilon above all. The Rugong we know today was once a man just like us. Thousands of years ago, after Kudao faced a global extinction, Taramamu, the last one to walk among the empty wasteland was ordered to rekindle humanity once again using clay and mud. Over the years the new settlers were determined to forge the future of the new dynasty of Kudao as we know it

Once Kudao reaches its time, all gods will have their physical forms destroyed, but their spirits will be forever sealed inside a spire representing each god until its new host arrives. The new reborn man has the opportunity to become the host, by finding a spire descended from the heavens, which are challenging to reach, those who reach the spire first will become the new host that represents the physical form of said god. Rugong's host found his spire a few decades after the beginning of the new era, at the top of a vicious mountain. Being one of the first gods to reascend after Kudao's reckoning. Rugong lived on the highest point of the Shilon pillar, a place not even the demigods of Shilon can access. Rugong watched over the evolving community beneath him and protected them from the wretched beasts that preyed on them, such as his brother, Mazoku; the god of everlasting terror and chaos.
