Some notes on how I intend to implement streams into the lore:
- Oracles as high-ranking priests, consumes chuubanite-infused hopium as "hallucinogen", able to peer into the heavenly realm and receive divination from the nameless one. (Oracles as a common form of religious activity in Vitubia?)
- Very early oracles uses hallucinogens with too much hopium, leads to inaccurate divinations or false ones, later only uses small amount, much more reproducible/common divinations (i.e. accurate)
- Hopium still used, but the results are not treated seriously.
- Divinations, after being cross-referenced and confirmed by the first temple would be published, principally through newspapers (Weekly Owl) and criers.
- Celebration of divination would be in the form of a festival, lasting from weeks to months. Though not all days are holidays, games, performances and special markets are traditionally a part of it.
- Festivals/holidays other than in celebration of divination exist.
- To accommodate some periods where divinations are closely packed, fairgrounds, circuses and stadiums are established in cities
- Criers/Oracles that received divination would shout "It's time" to the public
*:(Don't really intend for stuff to exactly mirror the irl-VTE time scale.)
If any of ya have more suggestions on how to implement it, feel free. It's kinda a hard thing to do but I guess it had to be done at some time anyways.
