As Perun was the undisputed head of this pantheon (his idol had a silver head and gold mustache, superior to the others), Simargl functioned as a member of Perun's divine assembly — a guardian/protective sacred figure within the thundergod's sovereignty sphere. The alignment is primarily one of divine assembly membership rather than shared attributes; Simargl's own domains (guardian of plants and seeds per some reconstructions; winged dog-guardian per iconography) are distinct from Perun's thunder/war domain. Confidence low: the alignment is inferred from co-listing in the 980 CE pantheon, not from explicit ancient equation or shared attributes. Simargl's connection to the Iranian Senmurv/Simurgh (proposed by Rybakov and others) would provide a more illuminating long-range alignment, but the Iranian entities are not currently in the DB.",SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL,reviewed,PER_SLAV_PAGAN 5603,ENT_SLAV_SIMARGL,member_of,ENT_SLAV_PANTHEON,high,Simargl is named in the Kiev pantheon of the Primary Chronicle.,SRC_BRUCKNER_SLAVIC_MYTH,reviewed,
