The Essenaɤ Ejadran or Vulture Icon displayed over the entryway is the distinguishing feature of a Ashniist Beyt or temple.

Ashni Addin (Tamashek: ⴰⵛⵉ ⴰⴷⴷⵉⵏ, "Blood Doctrine") is the predominant Scipian branch of White Path. Ashniism is the principal religious doctrine of the Tenerians of Charnea, who represent the largest Scipian contingent of the White Path, and has also been adopted by numerous peoples who currently or formerly lived under Charnean rule. It is among the youngest major religions in the world and is one of the larger sects of the White Path, exceeding 20 million adherents. The creed and dogma of the Ashni Addin incorporates elements of the pre-Sakbeic beleifs of the Tenerian people into the framework of the Sakbeic pantheon, cosmology and clerical structure as introduced to the peoples of Charnea by the Desert Oracle. This mysterious religious figure, considered by the Ashni Addin to be an immortal prophet of Itzamna, is first referenced in the historical record as a street preacher in the city of Azut in mid-eastern Charnea in 1661 where first Charnean conversions to the White Path are believed to have occured. Under the direction of the Desert Oracle, the religious doctrine that would become the modern Ashni Addin spread west to the Charnean capital Agnannet where it would be adopted as the state religion by the Tamenokalt Kahina Ultmenir in 1719. The Ashniist pupils of the Desert Oracle established religious schools and societies focusing on different patron gods including the thirteen creator gods of Sakbe. Among these were the priesthoods of the sun lord Itzamna and the lady of the moon Ishel, which merged together in 1794 to form the Temple of the Sun and Moon which would quickly become the largest and most powerful clerical organization of the Ashni Addin.
