Veles' Chosen
"Let those who challenge the god the underworld join him there!"Veles is the Slavic god of the underworld. As part of their polytheistic pantheon, he is also attached to natural elements like the earth, forests and water. Things that are 'below' like caves and springs, too, fall under his purview - literally the 'under' world. Veles is in direct opposition to Perun, thunder god and lord of the 'quintheism'. Perun lives above, in the sky, and is depicted as fiery and dry - diametrically opposed to Veles and his damp, dark corners of the earth. In Slavic mythology, the two fought one another - Perun hurling lightning from the sky and chasing down his opponent. This concept of lightning storms as manifestations of Perun's power was extremely important to the Slavs, in a similar way as it was in many other pantheons - notably, the Greek thunder god Zeus, and the Nordic Thor.
