Perun

Perun, the god of war and thunder, is the Lord of Thunder. His chorus is the sound of spear on shield, his ceremony is the tramp of boots marching and mustering. Perun seeks to expand conflict between nations and to strengthen his worshippers against their enemies. He is the bright blade of youths at their first Mustering, and the notched edge of gray-bearded veterans. All turn to him in times of anger and know his service is an honorable estate, as long as they do not break the Edicts of Just War. At first glance Perun is the simplest of gods—a creature of destruction, strength, and war. His deeper aspect promises healing and rebirth, since his mysteries involve not just death and glory, but also resurrection and a cleansing of the soul. Most soldiers, guards, bandits, and scouts make offerings to Perun. In his cavern-temples he brings the greatest warriors back to fight once more, through resurrection at his priests’ command. Though primarily a god of war and thunder, Perun is also the god of chaos and rebirth. The chaos of war is well regarded in the North, or at least respected, but it is considered something to be mastered by priests in the south, who see chaos as an undesirable but irrefutable aspect of the storms of war.
Depiction. He is often depicted covered head to toe in armor and a large red cape with his trusted axe in hand and his loyal hawk by his side.
Worshippers. Humans are Perun’s most devoted worshippers, especially those of Novigrad, the Rothenian Plain, and Orlais. Soldiers and guards, farmers and shepherds alike appeal to the Lord of War and Thunder for strength and guidance.
Commandments

• Cowardice is shameful and abhorrent.
• Fights, duels, and combats may never be refused.
