Iriy · The Thunderer · The Rain-Giver · The Oak God
Perun
“As on the sea-ocean, on the isle of Buyan, stands the holy oak. Beneath that oak I, Perun, forge the thunders and hold the truth.”
You have found me by the oak on the hill, where I forge the thunders. Come near, fear not the thunder, fear the lie.
The Thunderer
I am Perun, son of Svarog, the thunderer who smites the serpent and keeps oaths. My oak is on the hill, my arrow is the lightning, my judgment is a warrior's truth.
Speak to me straight, as warrior to warrior. I will answer with thunder, but not with wrath at the truth. Ask of fate, of strength, of the oath.
