OSSETIAN MYTHOLOGY
This contains several gods and supernatural beings which Ossetian people of the Caucasus region believe in. The religion itself is believed to be of Scythian origin, but contains many later elements from Christianity, with Ossetian gods often being identified with Christian saints. The gods play a role in the famous stories about a race of semi-divine heroes called the Narts.

XUCAU •
Xucau or Hutsau (Ossetian: Хуыцау; pronounced hutsau) is the supreme god of the Ossetian mythology, who rules over all the heavenly spirits and deities (called zædtæ and dawĝytæ).
His name is often being considered a cognate of Iranian Khuda (see Sogdian Xutāw, Khwarezmian Xudāw), although some other scholars claimed that it has Caucasian roots (see Lezgin xucar "god"), which, in turn, may have Iranian origins.
He is known by a number of epithets:
Styr Xwycaw (Стыр Хуыцау, the Great God)
Duneskænæg (Дунескæнæг, Creator of the Universe)
Me Skænæg Xwycaw (Ме Скæнæг Хуыцау)
Xwycæwtty Xwycaw (Хуыцæутты Хуыцау, God of the Gods)
He is still worshipped as the supreme creator god in Uatsdin, and is believed to reside in every living being, and to manifest in mankind as consciousness and worthy action

GORA DAILENG
A purging God of Perpetual Punishment
He burns the wicked after death and flushes their charred remains into the Underground River of Oblivion.
This river is infinitely long and thus carries the burnt souls away on a dismal journey that never ends. Unfortunately for them, they still remain conscious.
