-Ǣdyihòzh the city is positioned near the southern tip of [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:ordeths_claw|Ordeth's Claw]], the long peninsula that helps separate the Inner [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:marine:abethine_sea|Sea]] from the Outer Sea. The tip of the Claw being separated from the nearest point on the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Jade Coast]] by but a scant few miles, all sea traffic between the two halves of the Gulf is forced to travel through this relatively narrow space, known as [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:marine:giants_gap|Giants' Gap]]. Ǣdyihòzh is well positioned to take advantage of this due to its location, and is notorious for charging fees from throughgoing ships in a procedure that can often only be distinguished from extortion by being practiced by a government rather than a private individual.+Ǣdyihòzh the city is positioned near the southern tip of [[geography:sekhaa:region:ordeths_claw|Ordeth's Claw]], the long peninsula that helps separate the Inner [[geography:sekhaa:marine:abethine_sea|Sea]] from the Outer Sea.

 Although the Abethines generally share the same [[mythology:imperial_religion:|central pantheon]] as the core of the former [[geopolitical:Empire:]] - albeit frequently with different names - there is a considerable difference in emphasis. The [[mythology:imperial_religion:siathar:|Sixfold Eminence and Her Court]] are seen as real, but not extremely relevant to everyday life, and their worship tends to be done in single, consolidated temples, or - as in Ǣdyihòzh - is done in the temples of Their Children, which are much more common. Particularly popular are Siathar that align with national interests: Although the Abethines generally share the same [[mythology:imperial_religion:|central pantheon]] as the core of the former [[geopolitical:Empire:]] - albeit frequently with different names - there is a considerable difference in emphasis.

-  * [[mythology:imperial_religion:siathar:tarishaar]] the Wit, known in Ǣdyihòzh as Òkhyil (/ɔxʲiɮ/), a male god, of no fixed occupational portfolio but depicted as making his way in the world through cleverness and trickery.+  * [[mythology:imperial_religion:siathar:Tarishaar]] the Wit, known in Ǣdyihòzh as Òkhyil (/ɔxʲiɮ/), a male god, of no fixed occupational portfolio but depicted as making his way in the world through cleverness and trickery.
   * [[mythology:imperial_religion:siathar:nyelik|Nyèlik]] (/nʲɜlik/) the Mariner, an exclusively Abethine goddess not considered equivalent to the god Hadim the Fisher seen on other coasts.

 In addition, worship of the [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:]] is popular, particularly the gods of the sea and wind. [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:uvuun]], as usual, is not worshipped; but, against the tendencies of other takmar, Adyihòzhis at sea consider it possible to bargain with Him for their lives and souls in the face of imminent death away from places near land. In addition, worship of the [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:]] is popular, particularly the gods of the sea and wind.
