 '''Exile''': Veles<br />
 '''Rule''': Unknown
+* A god of the underworld, earth, waters, and cattle in [[Wikipedia:Slavic_paganism|Slavic mythology]], Veles (also called Volos), was the opponent of the supreme thunder god [[Wikipedia:Perun|Perun]]. The two were in constant battle due to some accounts stating that Veles stole Perun's cattle or his wife away from him. Perun would punish Veles with death, though this was not permanent and Veles would again return. Due to this, Veles was often considered as a shepherd for souls to the underworld.
+* Veles is often described as a serpent or a dragon. Veles is also known as Volos which is the Russian or Ukrainian word for "hair" and as such, Veles was also described as having the appearance of a bear or a wolf.
+** Veles and Volos are sometimes separated into two different deities, Veles retaining the god of the underworld and death aspect while Volos became a god of pasturelands, cattle, and harvest.
+* [[Volos]] notes that the Protagonist is similar to his old friend in Kitezh who was always nice to him.
+* [[Perun]] declares that the soul of Veles resides inside the Protagonist.
+* [[Chernobog]] greets Volos as the Eastern Devil Veles but was corrected to Good Harvest Volos; he also notes about the promise Perun and Veles made when an attack by [[Alberich]] was split into two before disappearing as they were attacked.
