Russian Gods and Creatures

Erce conceived several children, many with names that are still unknown. Their worship was sporadic and covered the areas throughout Eastern Europe and Western Asia, At some point, Svarog was named as ruler of the Slavic gods, but some of the Gods such as Chert, the god of misfortune, want to accept him as a ruler.
