Gods of Isse - Qaf

This it a larger and colored (though it's hardly different, as she's mostly white and gray anyhow) version of Qaf. This is showing off the ajïs (pronounced "ahzh-wee"), which are pretty much like hanzi/kanji only they are no longer functional as anything by decoration and the occasional emphatic sign or comic book bubble. The ones here mean "god", "wisdom", "lady/lord" (it's a word like the "-sama" honorific in Japanese), and "culture".

Gods of Isse are typically imagined to have insanely long crowns/manes (head hair), especially Qaf. Long hair is a symbol of age and wisdom, or of studiousness and leisure, much like in ancient China with long fingernails.

The title's a slight misnomer, implying that everyone on Isse worships Qaf. They do not. There are many religions, as it is a big planet with many people. Qaf's one of my favorite ones, tho. Ooh, maybe I'll make this into a series. That would make me happy.
