Adonis

Adonis is a name of God meaning 'he of the light' or 'God our Light,' worshipped mainly in the western peninsulas north of the Maw. The community of worshippers of Adonis are known as the Adonisia.

Worship
In contrast to the worship of Al'ime or Yeshiv, iconography is a common and important element for many worshippers of Adonis.

Particularly on the mainland of the continent, statues are a common element of temples and household shrines. No form is specified for sculpture of Adonis; while some models are popular, it is commonplace for a sculptor to model a statue of Adonis on themselves, particularly in the face. Invariably, however, when a statue or statuette of Adonis is completed, the head is to be cut from the rest of the statue and buried, symbolising the unknowable face of God and the rejection of the self in favour of divinity.
