Interesting: A plinth is the base of a colum or somesuch, the podium on which it stands. So either the plinth is a base for a ssacred banner of some such placed there in the right seasons and holy days - I rather like the banner concept, and the idea of a fertility pole, or similar, and the plinth being decked with crops. I see this as a predominantly rural form of the Church. I found the Aeolian Churchjh keyword on Isaaries.com earlier so I am off to read up on it in the hope of finding answerrs to myu questions.

Maybe the thing on the plinth is a spiritual thing? What was teh thing that surmounted the Ivory Plinth, presumably lost centuries ago? I'm not asking a tusk roder to find out! Maybe Esvulari plinths once had stautes of the Heortling deities, toppled when the Invisible God tood precedence, and that si why the plinths are still shrines?

I'm speculating wildly, i really have no idea. Anyone?
