Tears of Rain

The Tears of Rain (otherwise known as the Vault of the Godborne) is a raid introduced in A Legend's Legacy: Risen Sun, and serves as the first of three raids introduced at the start of the expansion. It is located in the Tears of a Goddess Mountains, presiding at the aforementioned location. Kaijin No Sai and his Tetsujin defend the vault vigorously, before opening it to unearth its secrets.
Racing through, Kaijin and Deathlius Loss'end are locked on a course to reawaken Kirin, a Godborne construct who has extensive knowledge of the God Artifacts and is the keeper of the Tears of Rain artifact, an artifact which can amplify inclement weather and dampen the effects of other artifacts. However, Xin No Sai has used his powers to pervert the barriers surrounding it, having his minions of the Cult of Xan attempt to destroy Kirin. The Shard of the Sun have no interest, but they are keeping very close watch over the events that happen, with the exception of the Crysis Contrivance which he activates in secret with the Paradox Orb he found. In addition to this, Kaijin finds the secret power that allows him to transcend the limits his old age has bestowed onto him, making him "more of a match" for evil forces.
The instance features seven bosses, a wealth of achievements and treasure, and an interesting amount of lore surrounding the Godborne, the Titans, and specifically The Evils. Dependent on the difficulty, players may enter based on item level and or requirements from quests and achievements.

To enter the raid, different requirements are needed:
*Adventurer: Item level requirement.

==History==
The Godborne used the Tears of Rain (known as the Vault) as their first template with their celestial magicks, to create an imprisoning facility for some of Outhria's more powerful relics, such as the God Artifacts. Within the vaults themselves, they animated the celestial construct known as Kirin, taking on the form of a dragon.
After the evil Titans laid siege to the complex, the various artifacts within were taken away and hidden within the Godvault, as it came down to a unanimous decision, the cliffside caverns were no longer the safest space to protect these powers. Kirin however, would remain vigilant, safeguarding the Tears of Rain artifact until the time required to use it. Due to this, he enforced stricter defensive protocols on the prison, forcing both ally and foe alike to leave.
The Tetsujin came to become befriended with Kirin, and as such serve as protectors of the vault, this in recent times this is a lesser case, trying to make it not as obvious that the complex houses a God artifact. Xin No Sai has gathered forces within his realm of Xin'kul and led an attack on the Vault, attempting to steal the Tears. After members of Deathrook discover this plot, Kaijin No Sai and Deathlius Loss'end go forward to investigate and prevent this from unfolding.
