Perun

Perun (Перýн in cyrillic) was one of the most revered deities within Slavic mythology, who was seen as the high-god of thunder, war, fire, mountains, order and royalty.
He was the ruler of the living world (earth and the heavens) often described residing atop of the World Tree, taking the shape of an eagle, and is opposed to the god of Veles, who was the ruler Nav, the Slavic underworld which was located at the roots of the tree. He is also often described wielding either an axe or a hammer, and traveled through the sky in a chariot, controlling thunderstorms and lightings.
He was the son of Svarog, the god of fire and blacksmithing, and Lada, the goddess of fertility and beauty, brother to Dažbog, the god of the sun, and husband to Mokosh, the goddess of life, fertility and moisture, and father of Jarilo, the god of vegetation, fertility and springtime, and Morana, the goddess of cold, frost, winter and death.
Veles would often appear from the underworld, cause chaos on the Earth, and tries to steal either Perun's cattle, children or wife. Perun would start chasing Veles and cast lighting at him, which leads to the underworld-god to either transform into animals or hide behind trees and houses. Perun would eventually either kill Veles or chase him back into the underworld, and establish order in the world.
