Thunder Goddess

Thunder Goddess was a goddess of thunder who appeared in the Thunder Dialogue as the entity to whom Shinsei dialogued before the events leading to the Day of Thunder. The Little Teacher ascended Kite Mountain to expound upon his Way to her and a congregation of devoted listeners. The Dialogue framed this event in hyperbolic terms: the sermon took longer than Rokugan's recorded history, and the listeners (all of whom achieved Enlightenment) include not only the Thunder Goddess, but also every known Fortune and kami as well as monks, priests, and holy teachers, whose number exceeded the current population of Rokugan. Attempts to place the Thunder Dialogue at a specific date in the historical Shinsei's life had met with no success. Any connection between the mysterious goddess and the Day of Thunder, which her name might seem to imply, also remained unclear. The Thunder Goddess never appeared again.
