There are very few temples of Aoskar, and those that exist are ramshackle things, barely kept together. This is an ancient faith that flourish several millennia ago, leaving a legacy so strong that even the absence of the deity could not entirely wipe it away, or at least not yet.
Worship of Aoskar typically takes place in small cells, tiny groups of individuals gathered around a single, charismatic leader. The specifics of the teachings vary wildly, though there is always an emphasis on the holiness of travel, and especially on the use of magic towards that. There is a very strong opposition to the cult of Sera, which at times has turned violent. Many of the temples are shaped so that their entrance resembles a magical portal, and the interior is decorated so as to seem otherworldly. Drugs, often in the form of incense, is frequently used to magnify this effect.
No avatar, vision or other manifestation of Aoskar has been known of in over five millennia, and no worshipper has gained spells during this same period. Recently, however, some individuals have begun to form pacts with Aoskar, and they do gain mysterious (though arcane) magic through it. It is unknown if this is the first sign of Aoskar's stirring, or if some other entity has usurped the name and cult.
