5!Bogolenya Deer Pantheon
6The Bogolenya deities are members of a sub-pantheon that was founded by Belyolen, the Deer God of Light, Good, and Contentment. Belyolen, treated as the most beloved of the Elternteil pantheon, started having disagreements with his parents over the future of their mortal children, and the emotional mistreatment of his younger twin brother, Temnobog. It later came to a point where Belyolen decided to leave home and form his own pantheon, taking with him several Deer deities who agreed with the radiant god. Temnobog initially followed Belyolen with the intent to usurp his brother, leading to a series of terrible battles as both stags tried one-upping the other, but would always end in a draw due to being equally matched for some reason.\
7
8But with the help of Lestnamatya/Mother Deer, Belyolen and Temnobog eventually realized that they could not fight each other because of their unique nature. Due to the divine ritual Irminsul cast upon his beloved son while the latter was in utero, Beyolen and Temnobog are two halves of a greater being, making them literal equals. Every time they would try overpowering the other, one would grow weak while the other got stronger, and vice-versa. Now knowing the truth, they permanently buried their eons-long grudge and reconciled.\
9
10Unlike most divine pantheons, which are ruled by romantic couples, the Bogolenya pantheon is ruled by a pair of brothers. Belyolen and Temnobog both work as the balance that keeps Equus going - while Belyolen would bless and protect his mortal followers, Temnobog would tempt and punish the wicked. Furthering the uniqueness of this Deer pantheon is the interracial divine marriage between Mier, Belyolen's oldest daughter and the Deer goddess of Peace, and Válka, the Draconequus god of War.

14[[folder:General]]
15* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Due to the unique nature of Belyolen and Temnobog as elemental twins and two halves of a greater person, the Bogolenya pantheon is more tolerant and balanced, blessing and protecting Deerkind while letting Temnobog and the Four Terrors sow evil and punish the wicked, so the mortals would truly prosper and be strong enough to oppose evil itself. If a Deer realm becomes ''too'' sinful, then they call in the Four Terrors to destroy it after evacuating all of the good-hearted Deer from the place. On the divine side, their beliefs in balance has caused them to welcome Válka as a member, and he spawned three hybrid children with Mier, goddess of Peace despite their contrasting portfolios. Cudnost, the Draconequus goddess of Virtue and Belyolen's adoptive daughter, would provide a much-needed source of comfort and relaxation for the Four Terrors, who embody various aspects of Deerkind's Evil and would feel relaxed when around her.
16* BewareTheNiceOnes: Though most members of the pantheon are very nice people, they're willing to attack if provoked, and won't hesitate to destroy sinful Deer kingdoms if they turn out to be completely irredeemable.
17* CorruptChurch: While part of their religion is outright evil to begin with owing to the worship of Temnobog and his large family of Constructive Evil deities with the Temnobog Cults, the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon also found itself facing this problem with some of their churches in their lands and are as furious with them as others are. The corruption and ineptitude of the Bogolenya churches in the Roedinian kingdoms contributed to the Clovenist revolutions with the priesthoods' enabling of the Roedinian rulers' misrule, and the Bogolenya were so mad at them for it they outright ignored their prayers for salvation, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4897910646 chastise them all]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for their misdeeds]], before [[YouHaveFailedMe leaving many of them]] [[HeelFaceDoorSlam to die being executed]] by [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized the Clovenist revolutionaries themselves]], fully intending to have them DraggedOffToHell after they leave the mortal coil.
18* DivineConflict: In their backstory, Belyolen and Temnobog once engaged in this against each other for many years, which was both due to Temnobog's spiteful hatred for his radiant brother, and the fact that their Elternteil family manipulated the divine Deer twins into fighting each other, for they were disgusted with Temnobog's corrupted and "evil" presence and wanted him dead. However, after many draws and being forced to work together to resolve a crisis that was threatening the pantheon, they learned that they were actually divine equals and two halves of the person they should've been, which caused them to bury the hatchet for good. It was noted that during their battles, Mier, Belyolen's eldest daughter, only focused on protecting the innocent and leading them to safety.
19* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Taken literally with Temnobog and his surviving children, the Four Terrors. Despite being unapologetically Evil gods, they're pretty much a decent family by Bogolenyian standards, as Temnobog loves them and was willing to punish his four other children for siding with their biological mother, Ispita, as well as committing extremely heinous crimes. The Four Terrors in turn are loyal to their father as much as they're loyal to each other. It's because of Belyolen's influence and their role as constructive Evil that they're also accepted by the other deities within the pantheon. On a related note, their demonic subordinates/servants and champions are also implied to have cordial relationships with each other despite serving different masters/mistresses, with some of them forming [[FriendlyRivalry friendly rivalries]] over how much evil they can sow in the mortal planes (though with restraint).
20* FantasticRacism: Defied and averted. Of the three Deer pantheon, the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon has the most non-Deer and Deer hybrid members, due to the open-minded and tolerant attitudes of its leaders, Belyolen and Temnobog. The Bogolenya Deer Pantheon has welcomed many Draconequui into its ranks, with Válka being married to Mier, Belyolen's oldest daughter, and Cudnost being adopted into Belyolen's family after being rescued from Ispita and her ilk. Alicorns are also allowed to visit, with Amour-De-Soi, Blood Fang, Golden Scepter, and his demi-divine sons among them. The Elternteil Deer Pantheon looks down on the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon for including "interlopers" into their group, and Belyolen wants to keep his family away for this reason. In one such incident, High King Irminsul got into a particular heated argument with his twin sons, and proceeded to say horrible things about Temnobog and the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon's non-Deer residents. This resulted in an ''enraged'' Golden Scepter confronting him and giving Irminsul an ''epic'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in front of everyone, terrifying Irminsul into avoiding the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon out of fear of bumping into the antediluvian Alicorn Emperor again.
21* GoodIsNotSoft: Double-subverted. Unlike their Elternteil peers, the Bogolenya deities are much more tolerant and understanding even towards "evil" concepts as constructive influences, and if they encounter a sinful kingdom/town, they'll try to give it a chance to redeem themselves, as per influence from Belyolen. However, if a kingdom has fallen so deep into sin that nothing could be done with it, the deities let the Four Terrors destroy it (after evacuating all the good-hearted people out), yet it's noted that "Calling the Terrors" is treated as a [[GodzillaThreshold last resort]] for only when things had gotten that far due to the Terrors' horrific actions in punishing the wicked.
22* GoodParents: Prevalent here. Because of the lack of harmful attitudes among the Bogolenya deities (which is largely due to [[NiceGuy Belyolen]]'s influence), those who have children of their own post-Split become ''much'' better parents than Irminsul and Arvan had ever been. Válka and Mier are HappilyMarried despite their conflicting portfolios and have influenced their three children to be as benevolent as they are; Belyolen unsurprisingly was implied to be a good father for his eldest daughter Mier herself due his innate goodness; and even Temnobog is a decent parent to the Four Terrors, since the latter all have UndyingLoyalty to their father and are willing to sow constructive Evil in his name.
23* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Averted, as many of the Bogolenya Deer deities are hybrids. Temnobog's family notably contains thousands of (demi-)divine Deer-Draconequus hybrids, all descended from the Four Terrors, and it is common practice among them to commit incest with their infernal siblings, relatives, and parents. However, on Belyolen's side, there's Medik, Zmluva, and Mentálne, three hybrid children sired by Mier and Válka. The Elternteil Deer Pantheon looks down on the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon for this, seeing their hybrid offspring as "bastards" that shouldn't exist, which makes Belyolen do everything he can to keep his family away from the others. When Irminsul ''did'' say something about them, it was during a visit and [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]] was nearby and in earshot. In a protective fury, Golden Scepter terrified Irminsul so much that the High King now avoids the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon on the off-chance that Golden Scepter might be there.
24* HolierThanThou: Averted. The Bogolenya pantheon was founded by Belyolen, partially in response to the extreme emotional abuse Temnobog suffered at the hooves of their family and peers for being born "evil". Being the living embodiment of Deerkind's positive traits such as empathy and compassion, Belyolen could not tolerate the Elternteil deities' petty hypocrisy and eventually left so he could get his brother away from their home's toxic environment. As the result of his benevolent influence on his fellow gods, the Bogolenya pantheon has welcomed divine Draconequui among their ranks, such as Válka, and has even grown to tolerate and respect Temnobog and his hellish children, the Four Terrors.
25* TheMarvelousDeer: The majority of the pantheon are divine Deer, though Válka is a Draconequus, and both the Four Terrors and the three children of Válka and Mier are Deer-Draconequus hybrids. Figuratively, the Deer portion fulfill the "Marvelous" part of the trope in that they're truly good and compassionate without being morally superior and patronizing about it; Belyolen in particular represents this trope the most, as he's a light-pelted divine stag who embodies all of Deerkind's compassion and other positive traits.
26* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Several of Belyolen's brothers and sisters joined the Bogolenya pantheon because [[CallingTheOldManOut his]] [[WhatTheHellHero speech]] caused them to be overcome with guilt over participating in Temnobog's abuse or simply condoning it, influencing them to leave their parents and their harmful attitudes behind.
27* RageAgainstTheHeavens: On the receiving end of this; the Clovenist Deer of Roedinia began to severely distrust their good intentions because they didn't intervene and rescue them from their deeply corrupt monarchies, so they tried creating a deity that is wholly devoted to Clovenism so they could use it as a propaganda tool and weapon. The result was [[GoneHorriblyWrong Father Deer]], a "False Deity" Tulpa that caused so much trouble that the Clovenists had to beg for help from the Bogolenya deities they had forsaken. Mother Deer destroyed Father Deer, but the Clovenists' blasphemous actions soured their divine relationships for a long time.
28* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
29** The Bogolenya Deer Pantheon gave an absolutely ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4897910646 scathing]]'' one to their own priests in the realms of Roedinia through an angel when they prayed for salvation [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized from Clovenist revolutionaries]], pointing out that the reason why the Clovenists are out for their blood and turned their back on the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon is because the priests themselves have utterly failed their duties to help their worshippers - [[CorruptChurch even exploiting them]] - and instead enabled the increasingly decadent and tyrannical rules of the Roedinian sovereigns until the Roedinian Deer had enough and revolted. If they are now doomed to be executed]], they have it coming, and even chastise them for having to gall to believe they have nothing to do with it and beg the gods whom they failed to serve for salvation from their own mess. The angel would afterwards [[HeelFaceDoorSlam leave them]] [[YouHaveFailedMe to die]], stating that they will have to face up to their sins [[KarmicDeath with their lives]] - and [[DraggedOffToHell in their afterlives]] as well.
30--> '''Bogolenya Angel:''' We are ashamed of you, our priests and clergy. You think you were faultless in all this? That you were among the persecuted? What were you doing, I ask, up until the tumultuous time? While our lords' worshippers were starving and suffering, you offered nothing but empty platitudes, like this is somehow the gods' plans that they suffer and starve. While you beseeched our worshippers to donate what little savings they have to patch roofs on your churches, you dined with the aristocracy and shared in their opulence and decadence. While you preached to the masses to obey the Vozhds, Knyazes and Czars of Roedinia, for they were given divine right to reign, you failed to see that by their misrule and sins they had lost any and all sovereignty.\
31Now in their desperation, bitterness and rage they had turned against their rulers, against you, and against even their gods, you dare presume somehow you too were a victim? YOU WERE PART OF THE PROBLEM! The gods had given you charge because even we cannot be everywhere at once for our worshippers. We trusted and expected you to speak out for them, to be their voice as you were ours, to serve as paragons of virtue and goodness and oppose vice and evil, no matter how high their source - an expectation which you had failed to fulfill. So what if you may lose all your precious privileges and face persecution by those rulers if you oppose them on the people's behalf? The path of the righteous is never easy - yet when it is more convenient, you side with the wolves rather than the flock you were meant to shepherd!\
32This fate you now face is your own doing. You had made your bed, and now you can lay on it. Even we cannot save you now.
33* RightlySelfRighteous: Averted. The Elternteil pantheon's arrogant hypocrisy in emotionally abusing an "evil" child to justify their own moral superiority and supposed "goodness" was what partially led to Belyolen leaving his family behind, taking Temnobog with him. While the Bogolenya deities ''are'' very nice people, Belyolen's influence ensures that past mistakes don't get repeated, and "bad" concepts are equally important in helping Deerkind prosper. Válka and Temnobog being both part of the pantheon despite being gods of War and Evil, respectively, and the existence of Deer-Draconequus hybrids such as the Four Terrors, and the children of Válka and Mier, are examples of this tolerance.
34* SoiledCityOnAHill: The worst punishment they could give to places that have fallen into sin. Normally, the Bogolenya deities would try give sinful places a LastSecondChance to redeem themselves by sending emissaries to warn them of the consequences. But if nothing happens, then they call in the Four Terrors to punish the wicked after evacuating all the good-hearted people first. The charred remains of the Terrors' actions serve to warn other kingdoms of what would happen if they fall into sin, too.
35* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: Averted; the Elternteil Deer Pantheon's complacent arrogance and the consequent misery of Temnobog who grew up with them was what largely broke the pantheon apart. Amour-De-Soi, the Alicorn goddess of Self-Love, was so disgusted by the abuse that she helped Belyolen go through with his desire to leave and take part of the pantheon with him. The Bogolenya pantheon was formed to ensure that Temnobog would receive the love and respect he deserved, and that no one would end up becoming stagnant with the lack of Evil. And because of Temnobog's presence, as well as the presence of his "evil" hybrid children, the Four Terrors, the Bogolenya pantheon would always be reminded not to follow the mistakes of their relatives and predecessors.

51\
52High King Bogolenya (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-50-844421514 here]]) is the Deer god of Deerkind, Kingship, Judgement, and Balance, and is the living fusion of Belyolen and Temnobog, who turn out to be the bisected parts of the god they were supposed to be.
53----
54* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Bogolenya Deer god who embodies Deerkind, Kingship, Judgement, and Balance.
55* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: He represents this as a whole, since his living halves Belyolen and Temnobog represent the good and evil traits of mortal Deerkind, respectively. As a god of Balance, he possesses in-depth knowledge of the potential for good and evil in both things and people, as well as the ability to see such potential, and is skilled in both WhiteMagic and BlackMagic. As a ruler, he is stern and unrelenting like Temnobog, yet merciful and compassionate like Belyolen, and it's speculated InUniverse that he would've been TheGoodKing who ushered his subjects into a golden age had Irminsul not tried to erase his inner evil. In the 'Final Ragnarok' arc, after Symvíosi brings him into being by [[FusionDance fusing Belyolen and Temnobog together]], everyone who looked upon him were strongly reminded of Golden Scepter, who embodied mortal Ponykind's best and worst traits.
56* BeautyEqualsGoodness: He's described as a [[HotGod handsome]] divine Deer stag, and he is essentially TheGoodKing personality-wise, being merciful and compassionate towards his subjects yet stern and unrelenting towards genuinely wicked/unrepentant individuals.
57* BigDamnHeroes: His emergence during the 'Final Ragnarok' arc can be seen as this, as Symvíosi [[FusionDance fusing Belyolen and Temnobog together]] was what prevented Ragnarøkkr from trying to rape Queen Mzazi and sent him crashing into his own shadowed branches.
58* BlackMagic: As a god of Balance, he knows various hexes and curses that can inflict corruption as well as other sorts of maladies onto his targets. This comes from [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]], who embodies Deerkind's destructive potential.
59* CallingTheOldManOut: Moments after coming into being via Belyolen and Temnobog's FusionDance, his first action is to give his father, High King Irminsul, a short yet effective TheReasonYouSuckSpeech on how he treated him vicariously and selfishly destroyed his future by trying to turn him into something he wanted.
60* CastingAShadow: As a god of Balance, he can wield shadow magic, which he can combine with [[LightEmUp light magic]] to create an extremely damaging YinYangBomb. It's noted that his shadow magic comes from [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]], who represents Deerkind's moral corruption and other bad traits.
61* {{Curse}}: His entry notes that part of his knowledge of BlackMagic involves various curses and hexes.
62* PointOfDivergence: Had Irminsul let his son live instead magically purging him of his inner flaws in-utero, Bogolenya would have become TheGoodKing and led mortal Deerkind into a golden age as his father foresaw. Many people speculate InUniverse that Bogolenya would have become "the bestest of friends" with Emperor Golden Scepter as well, since they're both divine royalty who embody a certain race and have similar divine portfolios. Bogolenya himself acknowledges that Irminsul killed him in the womb trying to make him 'perfect' and 'flawless', so when they meet during the 'Final Ragnarok' arc via Symvíosi [[FusionDance fusing Belyolen and Temnobog together]], Bogolenya rips into Irminsul with a short yet effective TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for killing him with his vicarious ambitions.
63* FusionDance: In the "Final Ragnarok" arc, he's the result of the Grand Primeval deity of Co-Existence, Symvíosi, fusing Belyolen and Temnobog together in order to give them an advantage over [[EldritchAbomination Ragnarøkkr]] and save Queen Mzazi from being raped by him. This resulted in the divine twins essentially becoming someone who's just like Golden Scepter, except he embodies the best and worst traits of mortal Deerkind. Unlike most examples, though, he's what Belyolen and Temnobog ''could'' have been if their father, Irminsul, hadn't foolishly and arrogantly tried to purge his then-unborn son's flaws from him in-utero.
64* GoodIsNotSoft: His personality is essentially a balanced version of Belyolen and Temnobog's personalities, being stern and unrelenting yet merciful and compassionate. And unlike Irminsul, he's a genuinely good and noble king who doesn't let his own flaws and biases get in the way of protecting his people. That being said, both '[[ForTheEvulz destructive Evil]]' and genuinely wicked/unrepentant individuals enrage him, and as his fight with Ragnarøkkr showed, he can be a powerful and brutal fighter.
65* TheGoodKing: His entry notes unlike Irminsul, his father, he is a genuinely noble and wise ruler of mortal Deerkind, and while he does have flaws of his own, he doesn't let them get in the way of protecting his subjects. He also possesses knowledge of Good and Evil, including their 'bad' and 'good' sides, which he would have used to rule his subjects well and usher them into a golden age had he not been purified in-utero by Irminsul. Emphasizing this is his domain of Kingship, which allows him to [[DivineRightOfKings grant or take away legitimate sovereignty depending on his chosen recipients' worthiness]], and empowers him based on how well he rules overall. Ironically, Irminsul ''tried'' to invoke this by purifying his son of his inner evil, but since GoodNeedsEvil, it backfired enormously and created massive ramifications for his family and the greater world.
66* HolyHalo: Much like his older brother, Kúzelník, his head is adorned with a radiant halo made of starlight. His entry notes that this is one of the things that makes him similar to Golden Scepter, who has a golden halo on his head.
67* HotGod: His entry describes him as a [[LargeAndInCharge tall]] and handsome god. He's also a [[BeautyEqualsGoodness benevolent]] deity and would have been TheGoodKing if he had been allowed to live.
68* InterspeciesFriendship: While he's technically already friends with Golden Scepter through his living halves, Belyolen and Temnobog, it's speculated InUniverse that he and Golden Scepter would have been this for real had he been allowed to live, due to how similar they are.
69* LargeAndInCharge: He's described in the "Final Ragnarok" arc as a tall stag whose combined traits and incredible power reminded those who witnessed his emergence of Golden Scepter, who was described in his entry as a tall and muscular Alicorn. His entry goes on to describe him as potentially being the same height as Golden Scepter in his "[[GodInHumanForm default form]]" had he been allowed to live, though he's dwarfed by Golden Scepter's [[HumanoidAbomination true form]]. He's also the result of Symvíosi [[FusionDance fusing Belyolen and Temnobog together]], as well as the god that the latter two ''should'' have been born as. And because his components ruled over the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon, he is technically their ruler as well, even naming himself "Bogolenya" to represent them instead of accepting the original name Irminsul had for him, "Korolbog", symbolically rejecting his father's vicarious ambitions and desires for him.
70* LightEmUp: As a god of Balance, he can wield light magic, which he can combine with [[CastingAShadow shadow magic]] to create an extremely damaging YinYangBomb. It's noted that his light magic comes from [[GodOfGood Belyolen]], who represents Deerkind's moral purity and other good traits.
71* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Dual Sovereign", due to being a god of Balance and the living combination of Belyolen and Temnobog's traits.
72* MeaningfulName: His original name, "Korolbog", translates to "king god" in Russian. This is appropriate, since he is technically the leader of the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon through his living good and evil halves, Belyolen and Temnobog. It also fits Irminsul's original intentions for his son to succeed him as a perfect and flawless High King of the Elternteil Deer Pantheon by erasing his inner evil. It's because of these vicarious ambitions that Bogolenya rejects his original name and names himself after the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon, seeing that group as more of a family to him than his own biological family.
73* MeaningfulRename: Bogolenya's father, Irminsul, was originally going to name him "Korolbog" if his attempt to purge his then-unborn son of his inner evil succeeded. However, when Bogolenya finally appears in the "Final Ragnarok" arc, he rejected Irminsul's name for him and instead named himself "Bogolenya". This turned him into a symbol of the Bogolenya Deer pantheon his components ruled over, while separating himself from Irminsul's vicarious ambitions and desires.
74--> '''High King Bogolenya:''' ''(to High King Irminsul)'' From this day forth, my name shall be Bogolenya. Though 'impure' the pantheon my halves ruled over may be, the Bogolenya deities, both Deer and non-Deer, have been more of a family to me than you and your pantheon had ever been.
75* MyGreatestSecondChance: He was seen as this by Irminsul, who harbored self-loathing over his own failures as a ruler and his inability to get rid of his own flaws. After foreseeing a mighty Deer King saving mortal Deerkind from darkness and leading them into a Golden Age, Irminsul tried molding his unborn son into becoming a perfect and flawless god so his son could be the good High King that he himself was not. It's deconstructed in that Irminsul's motives were extremely selfish, and by purifying his son of his inner evil, he ended up [[OffingTheOffspring killing him in the womb]], preventing his future vision from coming true. When Belyolen and Temnobog were born as a result, Irminsul tried making up for his mistake by [[ParentalFavoritism favoring Belyolen]] while shunning/abusing Temnobog for their respective natures. Both his family and many others were rightly disgusted and angered with him once they learned of what he had done, and the Elternteil Deer Pantheon splintered into three sub-pantheons because of it. Irminsul's son, who would become Bogolenya, is also aware of what his father did to him, so when they meet each other during 'Final Ragnarok', Bogolenya rips into Irminsul for vicariously molding his own children to fit his twisted standards of perfection, and gives himself a new name to separate himself from Irminsul's ambitions.
76* TheParagon: Irminsul tried purifying him of his inner evil in-utero so he could become a perfect and flawless god who embodied only the good traits of mortal Deerkind and would lead mortal Deerkind into prosperity as he foresaw. Unfortunately, Irminsul ended up killing his son and dividing him into Belyolen and Temnobog, who both have every reason to estrange themselves from him. And once he comes into being, Bogolenya [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels rebels against his father's ambitions]] by chewing him out for his selfishness and giving himself a new name instead of the one Irminsul intended for him.
77* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: A benevolent version. Irminsul tried to turn him into [[TheParagon a god who embodied only the good aspects of mortal Deerkind]] by purifying him of his inner evil in-utero. Not only did it cause his family all sorts of dysfunction and heartbreak, it also made Bogolenya rightly furious with Irminsul once Belyolen and Temnobog, his living bisected halves, were given a chance to fuse together. Irminsul gets [[CallingTheOldManOut chewed out]] for his vicarious selfishness, and Bogolenya gives himself a new name instead of the one Irminsul intended to give him to separate himself from his father's ambitions.
78* PsychicPowers: It's theorized InUniverse that as a god of Deerkind, he would have had strong psychic powers like his father Irminsul, as like his living halves, Belyolen and Temnobog, he possesses strong empathy and clairvoyant powers. Telepathy is included as a possible addition. However, it's noted that even so, he still would have been outranked in power and experience by Golden Scepter, who embodies Psionics and is an ancient "[[TheAce prodigy deity]]".
79* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Almost right after coming into being thanks to Symvíosi's [[FusionDance power]], he proceeds to give one to his father, High King Irminsul, for 'killing' him in Arvan's womb and vicariously messing with his future with his attempts to erase his flaws. Notably, it makes Irminsul bow his head in guilt and grief over his actions.
80--> '''High King Irminsul:''' Korolbog... My beloved son...\
81'''High King Bogolenya:''' No.\
82'''High King Irminsul:''' No?\
83'''High King Bogolenya:''' My name is not Korolbog, '''''Father''''', and it never shall be. You tried shaping fate to fit your own selfish desires, and you changed my destiny irrevocably the moment you decided to cast that spell on Mother’s womb. And for that, you shall forever live with that mistake.
84* {{Seers}}: Played straight and inverted. Much like Golden Scepter, he's a powerful clairvoyant who has both precognition and retrocognition; when he was divided in the womb, his precognition went to Belyolen, and his retrocognition went to Temnobog. These powers allowed Bogolenya to counter Ragnarøkkr's [[TimeMaster time-manipulation magic]], ultimately allowing High King Kaldr to [[EyeScream take out one of Ragnarøkkr's eyes]], and allowing Bogolenya to successfully deal a grievous wound by [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisecting Ragnarøkkr]].
85* StrongFamilyResemblance: His appearance is noted to be very similar to Kúzelník's, as they're both divine Deer stags with cosmic motifs and halos made of starlight.
86* YoureNotMyFather: His decision to call himself "Bogolenya" has shades of this. By naming himself after a different Deer pantheon whose members he had grown extremely fond of, he has effectively disowned both his father and the Elternteil Deer Pantheon as family.

100Válka (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-4-738968074 here]]) is the Draconequus god of War, Chivalry, and Conflict, and the beloved husband of Mier.\
101
102Out of the Draconequui trio of gods consisting of himself, Ispita, Zkáza, Válka is the only one not to fall into evil like they did. He was responsible for creating the Temper Troll/Warborn species, as he wanted the mortal races of Equestria to think things out before going to war. Ironically, despite not being a Deer, he is married to Mier, the Deer goddess of Peace.
103----
104* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Draconequus god who embodies War, Conflict, and Chivalry.
105* FantasticRacism: Due to being a Draconequus member of the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon and the father of three Deer/Draconequus hybrid children, he is on the receiving end of this from the Elternteil Deer Pantheon, who look down on him and others like him for not being full-Deer and spawning "bastard" hybrids. This led to an incident where, after Irminsul said horrible things about them during a heated argument with Belyolen and Temnobog, [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]] flew into such a protective rage that he deeply terrified the High King by revealing his true divine form and giving him a ''vicious'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Irminsul now avoids visiting the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon out of fear of bumping into him again because of this.
106* HappilyMarried: Ironically, to Mier, the Deer goddess of Peace. They're so deeply in love with each other that the other Bogolenyian deities [[SickeninglySweethearts find it annoying]].
107* TheMagnificent: Known as "The Knight".

125Lestnamatya, also known as "Mother Deer", is one of the patron deities of Roedinia.
126----
127* GoneHorriblyWrong: Her open criticism of Roedinia's royal families, intended to make them more benevolent, led to the end of the monarchy system and Roedinia forming a Clovenist empire bent on ending tyranny (even kingdoms led by divine benevolent rulers) and spreading Clovenism. One must wonder how she felt about that.
128* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Her "Condemnation Speech", in which she publicly criticized the ruling families for their cruelties and hedonism, and laid out everything they did wrong to their subjects. She originally intended to make the royalties see the error of their ways and become more benevolent, but things had been simmering for so long that her speech served as an explosive powder keg for country-wide revolt instead.

155Queen Vznešený Sen, born Noble Dream (her [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Deities-and-Divines-Bogolenya-Deer-Pantheon-934720106 here]]), is the Deer demigoddess of Dreams, Change, and Protection, and is the Queen of the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon's local Dream Realms.
156----
157* AbstractApotheosis: She Ascends to demi-godhood as the Deer demigoddess of Dreams, Change, and Protection by realizing the true meaning of the "Dream Master Rhyme" her mother taught her (or at least the meaning she assigned it) and gaining the courage to fight back against [[SerialKiller Night Terror]].
158* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Deer demigoddess who embodies Dreams, Change, and Protection.
159* AdaptationNameChange: The protagonist of ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet4TheDreamMaster'' is named Alice Johnson. Here, she's called Noble Dream, though upon Ascending to demi-godhood, she was renamed Vznešený Sen, which is essentially her birth name translated in Czech.
160* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet4TheDreamMaster'', Alice Johnson is a human. Here, she's a Deer demigoddess.
161* AllYourPowersCombined: Like Alice Johnson, she possesses the combined abilities of her friends, such as [[SuperScream sonic screams]], super-strength, ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Ogres and Oubliettes]]''-style magical abilities, [[SuperToughness enhanced toughness]], knowledge in switchblade fighting and martial arts, [[{{Technopath}} technopathy]], and [[DreamWalker pulling people into dreams]]. She also has the unique ability to gain more powers, but it only activates when someone dies. This unfortunately made her a target for Night Terror, who used her to lure and kill more victims, but later she used her multiple powers to defeat Night Terror and avenge her friends and older brother's deaths. She has since grown more powerful and gained more abilities over the years, helped by her Ascension to demi-godhood.
162* BackFromTheDead:
163** Sort of. Her Ascending to demi-godhood had the unique effect of resurrecting her dead friends and older brother, due to a combination of their connection to her and her turning Night Terror's powers back on him after he devoured their souls. However, because it happened in the Dream realms, her friends and older brother came back as dream-based entities, allowing them to be with her at the cost of being unable to enter the real world.
164** On the flipside, her entire existence and role involves preventing Night Terror from coming back to the Dream realms, forcibly sending him back into the Hell-Realms he escaped from every time he resurrects himself thanks to a deal he made with Ispita.
165* BarrierWarrior: As a demi-goddess of Protection, she can erect protective barriers.
166* TheChosenOne: Played with. She was originally TheUnchosenOne, being a rather shy and meek Deer doe with a nondescript appearance. But as more of her friends and loved ones died thanks to Night Terror using her as an UnwittingPawn, leading to her getting their powers, she ultimately chose to step up to the plate upon realizing she's the only one who could stop Night Terror. This allowed her to Ascend to demi-godhood fulfill the role of the "Dream Master" featured in the titular rhyme her deceased mother taught her as a young child, making her the perfect counter for Night Terror.
167* CreateYourOwnHero: She wouldn't have come into being or become a demigoddess had Night Terror not gone around using her as an UnwittingPawn to murder her friends, which ended up empowering her with whatever dream abilities they previously had. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard This eventually becomes Night Terror's undoing]].
168* DeityOfHumanOrigin: She was a mortal Deer doe who eventually Ascended to demi-godhood by realizing the true meaning of the "Dream Master Rhyme" her mother told her (or at least the meaning she assigned it) and gaining enough confidence to fight [[SerialKiller Night Terror]] on her own to save the souls of his victims.
169* DreamWalker: She has the ability to pull people into dreams, which she gained upon Park Keeper's death and led to her being used by Night Terror as an UnwittingPawn to continue his killing sprees. She retained this ability after Ascending and becoming a demigoddess of dreams, though her power became greater due to her demi-divinity.
170* {{Expy}}: Of Alice Johnson from ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet4TheDreamMaster''. Much like Alice, Noble Dream/Vznešený is the youngest child of two and grew up with an abusive AlcoholicParent following her mother's death. She used to be a ShrinkingViolet who daydreamed a lot to get away from the reality of her family situation, but after a friend's death, she gains the ability to [[DreamWalker pull people into dream realms]], which got her used as an UnwittingPawn by a dream-based SerialKiller to lure more victims to him. As more of her friends died, she gradually gathered the courage to confront her friends' killer and defeated him by using a reflective surface to turn his own powers back on him. The only difference is that Noble Dream/Vznešený's act of bravery led to her Ascending to demi-godhood and becoming the Queen of the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon's local dream realms to protect mortal dreamers.
171* {{Foil}}: To Moon Ray Vaughoof, whom she befriended sometime after her Ascension. While Noble Dream and Moon Ray grew up with AbusiveParents who also happened to be {{Alcoholic Parent}}s, Noble Dream's father eventually reconciles with her, while Moon Ray's father refused to repent and was sent to the Hell-Realms upon death. Noble Dream was the SoleSurvivor of her circle of friends after they were murdered by a SerialKiller (until her Ascension brought them back as dream entities due to unique circumstances involved), while Moon Ray was the first of his circle of friends to die, with said friends following him one by one via old age. Noble Dream Ascended to demi-godhood by [[GrewASpine growing a spine]] and defeating Night Terror, while Moon Ray Ascended to demi-godhood by [[{{Forgiveness}} forgiving his abusive father]]. They also have an older brother, except Noble Dream's died first to Night Terror, while Moon Ray is the one who died first. And while Noble Dream gained [[AllYourPowersCombined all the powers her friends had]] by the time she Ascended, Moon Ray gained three divine portfolios by re-Ascending as an eldritch god with the help of a domain he was supposed to have, but unknowingly suppressed for three Ages.
172* FriendlyRivalry: Following her Ascension, she becomes friendly rivals with her (constructive) EvilCounterpart, Prince Lenost, who serves as her counterbalance in promoting unfettered avoidance, sloth, and rest.
173* HappilyAdopted: While she has since reconciled with her birth father, she was adopted into the Somareia, whose members have a vested interest in her potential.
174* HappilyMarried: After Ascending to demi-godhood, she marries her husband, Valley River, who is implied to be SparedByTheAdaptation due to different circumstances and choices involved.
175* IntergenerationalFriendship: Sometime after her Ascension as a demigoddess,, she befriended Moon Ray Vaughoof, who became a "Preeminent"-ranked Alicorn physically following his re-Ascension.
176* InterspeciesFriendship: She's a Deer demigoddess who befriended Moon Ray Vaughoof, an eldritch Alicorn god, sometime after her Ascension.
177* MagicalGirlWarrior: A dark example. While she does follow the standard formula of a MagicalGirl plot (i.e. being an ordinary Deer doe who is suddenly granted magical powers, gradually overcomes her flaws and insecurities, and later accepts her role as a heroine in order to defeat the BigBad), the circumstances that led to her transformation are less than ideal -- her AllYourPowersCombined ability only works when someone she's connected to dies, and her powers made her a target for a dream-based SerialKiller, who used her to lure and kill more victims. This led to all of her friends, as well as her older brother, dying to Night Terror. Understandably, she was horrified when she learned she was Night Terror's UnwittingPawn. And while she was able to defeat him and Ascend to demi-godhood, she still carries lingering guilt over her role in her loved ones' deaths, even though she did become more powerul and self-confident from the experience.
178* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Dream Master".
179* MakeMeWannaShout: One ability she gained upon her friends' deaths is a sonic scream.
180* MeaningfulName: Noble Dream is a fitting name for a Deer demigoddess who devotes herself to protecting sleeping dreamers and is an effective GoodCounterpart to [[SerialKiller Night Terror]], preventing him from escaping the Hell-Realms to wreak havoc upon the Dream realms. Her current name, Vznešený Sen, is essentially her birth name translated in Czech, adopted by her to reflect her transformation into a demigoddess.
181* MeaningfulRename: Her current name, Vznešený Sen, is essentially her birth name, Noble Dream, translated in Czech. She adopted it to reflect her transformation into a demigoddess.
182* MissingMom: Justified; her mother died when she was very young. This caused her father to become an increasingly abusive AlcoholicParent out of grief, until he snapped out of it upon losing his oldest son and child to [[SerialKiller Night Terror]].
183* MysticalWhiteHair: She's described as being a white-furred Deer doe with a reddish-brown muzzle, stomach, and markings around her eyes. While all her friends had powers of their own, she's the only one who has the ability to gain and wield other people's powers, which proved instrumental in countering Night Terror. She's also the only one of her social circles to Ascend to demi-godhood, defeating Night Terror by herself and becoming Queen of the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon's local Dream realms. Her Ascension also revived her friends and older brother after they were killed by Night Terror, as they were closely connected to her and Night Teror's defeat took place in the Dream world.
184* NightmareWeaver: As a demi-goddess of Dreams, she can quell or create nightmares, but only inflicts them on those who genuinely deserved it. She also shares Night Terror's ability to [[SlainInTheirSleep kill people]] using nightmares, but only does it to wicked people.
185* SuperStrength: One ability she gained upon her friends' deaths is enhanced strength.
186* SuperToughness: One ability she gained upon her friends' deaths is enhanced endurance.

And while the Four Terrors tempt mortals into sin and damn those who don't change, the Four Comforts save, protect, and inspire those they can reach. It's justified as both the Comforts and Terrors are children of [[GodofGood Belyolen]] and [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]], who are the living halves of [[spoiler:High King Bogolenya]], who was divided in the womb and killed by High King Irminsul in his selfish attempt to make his son completely benevolent without flaws or evil. They even experienced a schism similar to that of the Four Terrors, with two of their siblings remaining with the Elterneil Deer Pantheon and two more departing off on their own.

215Mier (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-4-738968074 here]]) is the Deer goddess of Peace, Love, and Unity, and is the beloved wife of Válka. She is the oldest of the Four Comforts, the surviving virtuous children of Belyolen and living counterparts of the Four Terrors.\
216
217Born the eldest daughter of Tsiviliza, the Bogolenya Deer goddess of Civilization, and Belyolen, the Deer god of Good and one of two co-rulers of the Bogolenya pantheon. Mier is known for defusing conflicts as quickly as possible, and because of this, she is known as "the Peacemaker". She is the wife of Válka, the Draconequus god of War, Conflict, and Chivalry, and through him she has three hybrid children - Medik, Zmluva, and Mentálne.
218----
219* AllLovingHero: She's the goddess of Peace, Love, and Unity, so naturally she is this. For one, she calmed down a rampaging Draconequus war god with a song, [[LoveRedeems and eventually married him]].
220* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Deer goddess who embodies Peace, Love, and Unity.
221* BeyondTheImpossible: Against all attempts to reason with her, Mier managed to confront Válka and soothe him out of his berserker rage with a song. This eventually led to Válka falling in love and marrying her.
222* BearHug: It's rumored that she did this to both her father Belyolen and uncle Temnobog when they finally stopped fighting and reconciled. Temnobog is unwilling to admit it happened.
223* EvilCounterpart: Inverted. It turns out she's a 'good counterpart' to her cousin Yarost, embodying peace and love in contrast to him embodying war and hatred.
224* FantasticRacism: Averted; she did have an aversion to Válka, but it was only towards his warmongering ways and what he embodied. This changed after Válka performed a HeelFaceTurn and defused a hostile situation between two warring kingdoms that Mier was trying to stop, presenting it to her as a love offering. She accepted it, and eventually married him, resulting in three hybrid children that she all loves dearly. However, Belyolen is concerned that the Elternteil pantheon might ostracize Mier for marrying a non-Deer divine as well as her children for existing, so he tries to keep them as far away as possible so they wouldn't be affected by the Elternteil's harmful attitudes.
225* GenkiGirl: Implied and downplayed. Her entry describes her as being somewhat excitable, and the most prominent example her family and peers can remember is when she gushed and squee'd over Belyolen and Temnobog's reconciliation, even (according to rumors) bear-hugging them both.
226* HalfIdenticalTwins: While she and Yarost are cousins, it's believed she and him would've been the same being had Belyolen and Temnobog not been split apart, which makes them 'biologically' closer to twins. It's noted she looks like a gender flipped version of Yarost's deer parts.
227* HappilyMarried: Ironically, to Válka, the Draconequus god of War. They're so deeply in love with each other that the other Bogolenyian deities [[SickeninglySweethearts find it annoying]].
228* HealingHands: Implied; her entry describes her as being capable of healing. This is something she inherited from her father, Belyolen, who also has healing magic.
229* LikeFatherLikeSon: On both sides of her family. Mier has Belyolen's compassion and preference of nonviolent methods. Her children, Medik, Zmluva, and Mentálne are also deities with non-violent divine domains, and are as compassionate as she is.
230* LoveGoddess: While not a straight example, she is one, since two of her domains are Love and Unity.
231* TheMagnificent: Known as "The Peacemaker", due to mostly being a Peace goddess devoted to defuse conflicts with as little collateral damage as possible.
232* MeaningfulName: Her name is based on the Russian word мир, which means "peace".
233* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: She once calmed down her future husband, Válka, by soothing his rage with a song.
234* {{Squee}}: When Belyolen and Temnobog finally stopped fighting and reconciled with each other, having found out their true natures as divine equals and two halves of a greater whole, Mier gushed and squee'd, even (supposedly) bear-hugging her father and uncle.
235* StoneWall: Described in her profile as such - her barriers are incredibly strong and she can heal herself (and others), but being the goddess of Peace, she completely lacks offense.
236* SuperEmpowering: As a divine, she's capable of empowering mortals with her power. A notable case is Princess Laska Svetilo of Bitaniya, a staunch pacifist who gained her healing and barrier powers after becoming her follower.

261\
262Cudnost (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-14-796986781 here]]) is the Draconequus goddess of Virtue, Fortitude, and Temperance, and is the youngest "biological" daughter of Ispita and Discord.\
263
264It is speculated that Cudnost's birth was the result of a magical karmic backlash in the absence of virtue and temperance, caused by the sin and vice-laden "Reign of Chaos" that Ispita and Discord perpetuated for the sake of "careless" Evil. However, others presented the (unconfirmed) theory that Ispita tried to purge from herself to remain evil shortly after her betrayal and Fall, which would reincarnate into a deity that embodied the same traits she wanted to be rid of.\
265
266Ispita, extremely displeased with what she had created, initially tried to twist and corrupt Cudnost, but the latter's purity and fortitude were such that she refused to fall. Eventually, Cudnost would be imprisoned and chained in the dungeon underneath her parents' palace, where she would be used as a toy by her "biological" family to torture and abuse so they could satiate their depraved desires. Even Zmatek, her older brother, abused her both out of a twisted familial love and the belief that it was for Cudnost's "own good", hoping that he would gain a true sister with the virtuous Draconequus's corruption. Discord tried breaking her with mind games, but got easily frustrated and left Cudnost to his far more sadistic and vicious wife and children.\
267
268As fortune would have it, Cudnost would ironically be found and freed by Temnobog, the Bogolenya Deer god of Evil, after the fall of Discord. Temnobog sympathized with Cudnost incredibly, as they were born divine embodiments of things their parents hated and abused them for, but he also recognized that as the Deer god of Evil, he wouldn't be able to properly raise a virtuous deity. So Cudnost ended up given to Temnobog's brother, Belyolen, who adopted her as his daughter and became a far better parent than Ispita and Discord had been.
269----
270* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Draconequus goddess who embodies Virtue, Fortitude, and Temperance.
271* {{Determinator}}: As the Draconequus goddess of Fortitude, she embodies this trope - she is immune to any form of mental control or domination, as her force of will is supernaturally strong. This is what allowed her to endure ''years'' of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of her biological family, whereas anyone else would eventually break under the pressure.
272* EmbodimentOfVirtue: She's the goddess of ''Virtue'', and because of this, she is naturally attracted to individuals who have virtuous feelings. She also has [[TheEmpath empathy]] that focuses on sensing and encouraging virtue in people. And because she embodies Virtue, she balances out her half-siblings, the Four Terrors, who sow Evil to test mortals, making her a relaxing, calming presence for them.
273* TheEmpath: She's described by her entry as being an empath who can sense virtuous feelings in people and encourage them.
274* GoodHurtsEvil: Inverted. As the living embodiment of Virtue, her very presence inspires virtue and morality in even "evil" individuals, which relaxes and calms the Four Terrors, who are all deities of Evil.
275* HappilyAdopted: Belyolen became her adoptive father after Temnobog gave her to him, knowing his radiant twin brother would be a far better parent for Cudnost since Belyolen embodies Deerkind's virtues and other positive traits. As a result, Cudnost is very close and loving towards him.
276* HolyBurnsEvil: Her entry notes that she has purification powers, which her adoptive father, Belyolen, also has. This makes her a powerful enemy for those who have evil and corrupting powers.
277* {{Irony}}: She would eventually be saved from a lifetime of confinement and abuse by Temnobog, the Deer god of ''Evil'' (though a "constructive" one, unlike the "careless" Ispita).
278* NoSocialSkills: Tragically justified. After Ispita failed to twist and corrupt her into evil, Cudnost was imprisoned in the dungeon of her family's palace, where she was emotionally and physically abused for years by her mother and biological siblings to satiate their own evil and depraved natures. As a result, when she was finally freed by Temnobog, the isolation and trauma made it difficult for her to speak to others or express herself. Fortunately, she's getting better, and the birth of Mentálne, the Deer goddess of Mental Healing, was a major help.
279* NotSoDifferentRemark: Temnobog sympathizes with his adoptive niece incredibly, as like her, he was abused and ostracized by his parents just because he was born the embodiment of something they didn't like, except he was born the embodiment of Evil rather than virtue. It's partially the reason why Cudnost is very close to Temnobog, as he deeply understands her suffering.

293
294-> ''"I got you, trooper! Don't die on me!"''
295\
296Medik (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-9-784960275 here]]) is the Deer-Draconequus hybrid god of Combat Medics, Healing, and Wartime Rescue, and the eldest son and child of Mier, the Deer goddess of Peace, and Válka, Draconequus god of War.\
297
298Being the firstborn son of a Peace goddess and a War god, Medik has developed a unique nature that is the combination of both parents'. Unlike most Healing-based deities, Medik takes a more active approach. He flies into battlefields and escorts wounded soldiers to safety once a war is over so they could get patched up, though he also ferries away innocent civilians from danger zones as well. Accompanying him are his angels, who help carry the load while he's ferrying/healing. While he inherited his pacifistic neutrality from his mother, he has his father's willingness to fight if necessary, which can prove quite a surprise for those who underestimate him. Medik's actions in saving lives have gained the respect of benevolent war gods, such as Bellamos of the Pramanthan pantheon, who dislikes unnecessary casualties and has praised Medik for his efforts.\
299
300Due to Medik's nature, his most powerful ability is to heal others. He is capable of curing even divine ailments and injuries, which had a hand in countering Dr. Toxikon's Crucible Virus, though he can't raise the dead or restore lost limbs. If he has to defend himself, Medik can use shield magic like his mother (though not as powerful as her), as well as teleportation to evade enemy fire.
301----
302* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Deer-Draconequus god who embodies Combat Medics, Healing, and Wartime Rescue.
303* BewareTheNiceOnes: Medik is a healer first and foremost, but he won't hesitate to protect innocent lives when he has to, even though he usually uses nonlethal methods.
304* CombatMedic: One aspect of his portfolio. Medik is primarily a healer who focuses on minimizing casualties during wars and healing wounded soldiers who were left behind to die. However, that doesn't mean he's completely weak, as he can use [[BarrierWarrior magic barriers]] (though not to the extent of his mother) and [[{{Teleportation}} teleport]] himself away from enemy fire. While he prefers to save lives, he won't hesitate to protect them if he has to, though he uses nonlethal methods.
305* CurbStompBattle: Despite being a young god, Medik defeated the brutish Giant deity, Khakiston, first by blinding him with skunk spray, then by burying him with an avalanche after tricking Khakiston to hit a large glacier.
306* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Due to Medik being mixed and therefore technically not a Deer, he would've been ostracized and abused by his grandparents and relatives from the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for simply existing. This is why Belyolen tries to keep his family away from the Bogolenya Deer pantheon. This led to an incident where, after Irminsul said horrible things about them during a heated argument with Belyolen and Temnobog, [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]] flew into such a protective rage that he deeply terrified the High King by revealing his true divine form and giving him a ''vicious'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Irminsul now avoids visiting the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon out of fear of bumping into him again because of this.
307* HealingHands: Medik's prominent ability is healing, which came from both Belyolen and Mier, and is why he's the main patron of doctors. However, it doesn't come without limits -- he can't raise the dead, and he can't restore lost limbs (though he can reattach them if the wound is recent).
308* MixAndMatchCritters: Due to being part Draconequus from his father's side, his body has different animal traits that are right-sided -- a buffalo's right horn, a bear's right front leg, a horse's right hind leg, and an eagle's right wing. He also has the tail of a skunk, and snake fangs that produces antivenom and cures for illnesses.
309* PunnyName: Medik is "medic" spelled with a "k".
310* SmellySkunk: Due to being part Draconequus on his father's side, Medik gained the ability to spray bad-smelling chemicals with his skunk tail when threatened.
311* {{Teleportation}}: One of his abilities. This helps him get wounded soldiers as well as innocent civilians away from the battlefield.

321Zmulva (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-9-784960275 here]]) is the Deer-Draconequus hybrid god of Compromise, Negotiation, and Empathy, and is the second son and child of Mier, the Deer goddess of Peace, and his father Válka, the Draconequus god of War.
322----
323* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Deer-Draconequus god who embodies Compromise, Negotiation, and Empathy.
324* TheEmpath: Much like his grandfather Belyolen and great-uncle Temnobog, Zmluva is an empath, though unlike them, it's a main part of his portfolio and his main power.
325* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Due to Zmluva being mixed and therefore technically not a Deer, he would've been ostracized and abused by his grandparents and relatives from the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for simply existing. This is why Belyolen tries to keep his family away from the Bogolenya Deer pantheon. This led to an incident where, after Irminsul said horrible things about them during a heated argument with Belyolen and Temnobog, [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]] flew into such a protective rage that he deeply terrified the High King by revealing his true divine form and giving him a ''vicious'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Irminsul now avoids visiting the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon out of fear of bumping into him again because of this.
326* MeaningfulName: Zmluva means "contract/agreement" in Slovak.
327* {{Omniglot}}: He's described by his profile as being "omnilingual", which proves extremely necessary in diplomatic negotiations with other countries. This is fitting, giving that he's a divine equivalent of an ambassador and his portfolio revolve around neutralizing hostile political situations. An example of his prowess comes after the Changeling Courts finally dropped their eons-long masquerade, where he has reportedly learned how to speak the Changeling language - which is ''notoriously'' difficult to understand - in less than ''an hour'', and was fluent in it in less than a ''day''. The implications are that he would be able to learn and master any other language in a matter of minutes and hours.

337Mentálne (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-9-784960275 here]]) is the Deer-Draconequus hybrid goddess of Mental Healing, Psychology, Recovering From Trauma, as well as the youngest daughter and child of Mier, the Deer goddess of Peace, and her father Válka, the Draconequus god of War.
338----
339* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Deer-Draconequus goddess who embodies Mental Healing, Psychology, and Recovering From Trauma.
340* TheBabyOfTheBunch: As the youngest child of her parents, she's the youngest Bogolenya deity in general.
341* ChildProdigy: The divine equivalent. Despite being a little kid, she's extremely learned in psychology and mental healing/therapy, and can diagnose disorders like a legal professional. Her domain as the goddess of Mental Healing makes her extremely important especially during huge crises, where the demand for therapists increases due to large amounts of people sporting some kind of trauma. A few of her "clients" include her great-uncle Temnobog and his second girlfriend Cosmos, the young Alicorn demigod Crystal Prism, and his Earth pony friend Midnight Bell.
342* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Due to Mentálne being mixed and therefore technically not a Deer, she would've been ostracized and abused by her grandparents and relatives from the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for simply existing. This is why Belyolen tries to keep his family away from the Bogolenya Deer pantheon. This led to an incident where, after Irminsul said horrible things about them during a heated argument with Belyolen and Temnobog, [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]] flew into such a protective rage that he deeply terrified the High King by revealing his true divine form and giving him a ''vicious'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Irminsul now avoids visiting the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon out of fear of bumping into him again because of this.
343* MoralityPet: Justified. Due to her being an adorable young fawn, people who are otherwise evil and/or mentally broken often show their softer sides to her. Notably, Cosmos, the mad Serpent of Obsession, began showing a kinder and more playful side when around her. Of course, since she's the goddess of Mental Healing and Psychology, Mentálne is instrumental in helping her clients heal from mental and emotional traumas, turning them into better people. It was also because of her that Temnobog was able to get the help he needed in dealing with his emotional abuse, and that his hostile encounter with his former Elternteil peers was prevented from devolving into a full-blown fight.
344* PersonalityPowers: She has incredible psychic potential unlike no one has ever seen before in a deity, especially one as young as her. She's a wise and extremely insightful child who serves as a psychological therapist for mortals and deities alike.
345* PsychicPowers: While the full scope of her powers are currently unknown due to her young age, she has telepathy and telekinesis, the latter which is purely mental unlike the typical kind used by Deer and Draconequui. She also has the impressive ability to create a psychic realm that serves as an impromptu counselor's office, in which her patients can talk things out and even vent their repressed feelings on psychic dummies created out of psychic energy.
346* PunnyName: Her name sounds like "mentally".
347* ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted: she's the ''goddess'' of psychology and acts as a divine therapist, despite only being 8-years old. She's been a great psychological help to many thus far, god and mortal alike. Dazzleglow was decidedly happy when she came into this part of her portfolio, as recent events made it clear it was desperately needed. Notably, Mentálne's domain helped her great-uncle, Temnobog, in coming to terms with his childhood emotional abuse, and also helped the young Alicorn demigod Crystal Prism, and his Earth pony friend Midnight Bell recover from their PTSD.
348* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite being an 8-year-old godling, she's incredibly intelligent and knows a large variety of mental illnesses like a professional therapist.
