Ischvind is depicted in art as an androgynous human wearing occupationally-neutral robes, with a circle of masks surrounding the space where a head would be, representing their multiplicity.

n/a

• A circle of masks (usually demarcating a religious space for Ischvind)


• several hands, holding various occupational objects (used more personally than the masks)

All, but wind is a particularly strong theme, as it can be seen as Ischvind's force moving about the world.

• Small, periodic sacrifices are common at shrines, especially from warriors and craftsmen who give to their god in material goods and blood respectively. These spike during times of crisis, or right before large events. The material gifts get dispersed through the elders who keep that shrine.

To the Vaeldic people, quite often. In the eyes of the Vagapariñe or Yu'hnic, though, they are reading their god into the world more than their god actually acts around them.
