Surely the Uz can use sculptures and bas-reliefs to portray their gods? (e.g. that relief depicted in Trollpack, showing the skinning of Thed.) Images are not necessarily visual, not when the trolls have such an admirable replacement for vision.

Of course, an Uz representation might be incomprehensible to someone without Darksight. Perhaps under sonar, that wall depicts a perfectly clear (and non-abstract) image of Boztakang as a mighty Uzko with the Maul of Whupass, but to eyesight, it just looks like a bumpy wall.
