Background[]
Stribog is a sky and weather deity from slavic polytheism. He is typically portrayed as being elderly with long, messy grey hair. He is also grandfather of the eight directions of wind whom he controls.
Appearances[]
Mystic Manor[]
Stribog appears in "Russian Spring", an art-piece within Lord Henry Mystic's Slavic-Nordic Chamber in Mystic Manor following its enchantment via Balinese music box. While "Russian Spring" normally portrays a woman going orchard picking on a nice Spring day, the music box's magic causes Stribog to appear as a face in a cloud who blows wind causing the woman to be engulfed in snow and ice.
In addition to this, the entire Slavic-Nordic Chamber becomes frozen over, even causing a mirror to shatter.
Trivia[]
- Concept art showed Stribog as being bearded and wearing a stereotypical (inaccurate) viking-helmet. It was likely planned for Stribog to have originally been planned as a figure from Nordic mythology.
- Disney has used another notable figure from Slavic polytheistic mythology in their 1940 film Fantasia during the Night on Bald Mountain segment in the form of the Disney Villain, Chernabog.
