Kyzaghan

Kyzaghan is a martial deity of the middle heavens in the Altai pantheon recorded by Anokhin, embodying force and the fury of battle. He is named among the ruling powers that proceed from the supreme celestial sovereign, dwelling on one of the upper sky-layers below the highest heaven. Invoked for strength and victory in warfare, he forms a triad of dominions with his brothers Ülgen, who holds creation and light, and Mergen, who holds wisdom.
