Zajouni are very expressive people, prone to emotional and revelatory outbursts that often scare outsiders. Seer-led worship is an interactive affair, with shouting and yelling common to their rituals. Each day is christened by a prayer to the sun, called Alnaari. Families keep strictly to this practice, even when Alnaari is obscured. Prayer is a communal affair, as are evening meals which are observed with members of the village. The emphasis on communal fellowship derives from their tribal heritage, and the harsh lifestyle of their forefathers. When the Zajouni began settling cities and towns, what was a formerly harsh existence was replaced with a culture of gratitude. 

Gift-giving and inter-communal generosity is seen as a commandment, though Zajouni are hesitant to show generosity to outsiders, believing still in the prioritization of their own. This is not due to any intrinsic xenophobia, but the belief that Alnaari’s gifts are to be stewarded among the Zajouni. Punishments are also given authority to local seers, symbolizing the old tribal structures of the desert. Seers will conduct corporal punishment with the assistance of communal servants, and are particularly cruel to outsiders.
