I don't know if this question has been asked before.
In Cuzeian religion, and later Arašat/Eled'at, was it permissible to depict the aspects of God? If it was, how were they illustrated? If not, what sort of trouble could you get into for doing so? Is this a source of friction between Eled'e and pagans, who presumably have no such restrictions?
More generally, how was blasphemy treated in societies on the Plain and beyond?
