Horz

Horz is the deity related to celestial bodies. He represents the Moon and the morning Sun. He rules the warewolves, vampires and demons, however, he is not considered to be a negative force, but simply the energy in a man or some other creature which wakes the wild, the dark, the hidden in them. His symbol is a horn, and on his cheast is a wolf which devours the Moon, thus symbolising the eclipse. The adjective "kors" is similar to Horz's name, and means something which is incomplete, partial. It refers, of course to the Moon, which has its fases and looks exactly like that - incomplete, partial - "krnje" (truncated).
