Navaharodak (rus. Novogrudok)

approved on March 18 1595. Navaharodak was the first capital of the Grand Duchy of Litvania. It is placed in the region of Black Ruthenia - a region that was settled by Heathen tribes. In Litvan Heathenry, just like in all Indo-European ancient religions, white was the colour of good gods and black was the colour of bad gods. With the captivation of Litvania Christianity was seen as "white" and Heathenry as "black". So, the Bysantine-christianised eastern regions of Litvania were called White Ruthenia and the heathen north-west regions of Navaharodak, Harodnia, Vilnia etc were called Black Ruthenia. Since then there is a black angel on the arms of Navaharodak - The Black Angel of Navaharodak
