When the following of Perkunas in a settlement is large enough, a sanctuary is built to better accommodate his worshipers. Many followers believe that Perkunas, who battles the Lithuanian devil, prevents mischief and evil being spread. As the patron god of weapon smithing, a sanctuary to Perkunas will have a moderately sized weapon smithy nearby. Having a sanctuary of Perkunas in a settlement attracts many diverse followers including Latvian crossbowmen and Szlachta. |
