Usus accepts humble gifts and prayers left with the best intentions.Alters of Usus
An alter or temple dedicated to Usus is typically very humble in nature. Construction is modest, and there isn't much fair. Often the symbol of the target is scuplted, painted, or carved into stone and there may be an offering counter or plate in front of it. Often times instead of an offering someone who has excess may sit vigil near the alter and offer goods and services to those who pass by in need. A devout follower may spend their day at the alter offering assistance to those who come by. While Usus himself may be a grotesque image, the kindness of Usus followers is truly miraculous.Divine Symbols & Sigils
