Dahzbog was known among all three branches of Slavs, east, west and south, and was therefore a major proto-Slavic deity. In Russian manuscripts he is equated with the sun, and folklore remembers him as a benevolent deity of light and sky. Serbian folklore, however, presents a far darker picture of him; he is remembered as DABOG, a frightful and lame deity guarding the doors of the underworld, associated with mining and precious metals
