Being a theocratic country, the people of Adhania were extremely superstitious by nature, finding hidden meanings in almost everything, even in the most mundane of events.
So it was almost a ritual for them to have their fates read during this auspicious period, either by professional diviners or for those who could afford, even by priests and priestesses from the temples, their special robes making them the most trusted of the bunch.
Thus, this time during the Jtaama would be like their 'end of the year bonus' period, where they made more than ninety percent of the whole year's income in just these few days.
The more popular priests and diviners would sometimes be able to barely even catch their breath, as they would be swamped with eager customers all day long, all desperately hoping for various things.
The most common of this was of course good weather and a good harvest, and given ninety percent of the people were peasants by trade, this was hardly surprising.
