Galimman traditions of Astrology are prominent in various cultures, especially those that were in contact with the old Rha'thiki Dominion, a civilization that existed nearly on the threshold of the cosmos. It revolves around the movement of 12 seasonal constellations across the sky that are known to manipulate weather, affect the concentration of environmental mana, and the potency of certain spells. More spiritual astrologists purport that they can serve as omens for the future and may be read as a means to predict both personal and societal futures.
