Legend File
Tlaloc is a rain and storm deity whose gifts are essential and dangerous. He brings water for crops, but also lightning, hail, and flood. In Central Mexican tradition he is tied to mountains, springs, and a watery otherworld, making weather feel like a negotiation with powers that feed civilization and can break it.
