Despite their immortality and incredible powers, the Slavic gods were still dissatisfied, angry, envious, vindictive, and most of all vain. Their worshipers, because they were exactly the same as the gods they served, knew this and feared it the most. The most prone to rage was Perun, the god of lightning and thunder. Armed with an axe and a hammer, sometimes with bow and arrows, he galloped across the sky in his chariot and shot at anyone who provoked his wrath, gods as well as humans and animals. Because of that, people built shrines for him on the tops of the highest mountains and sacrificed their cattle there. When they had them at their disposal, they did the same with prisoners of war. Perun often sent his eagle to check on his shrines and assess how much people respected him. Sometimes human fear and loyalty would appease him and he would forget to gallop through the sky. More often, it would encourage him to make the circle more – so they do not forget who is the most dangerous of all.
