Also called Bielobog, Białobóg, Belbog, the White God.
Their story
No medieval source names Belobog. Scholars reasoned that if Helmold's Slavs had a black god of misfortune, they must also have had a good or white god, since Helmold speaks of both good and evil gods. Place names such as Belbog in Pomerania and Bělbožice in Bohemia are sometimes cited as support. Today Belobog is widely honoured in Rodnovery as Chernobog's bright counterpart.
