The culture of Zaclaria is a fusion of centuries-old attitudes and traditions rooted in Islamic heritage and Oduni and Diwai traditions as well as its historical role as an ancient trade center combined with the Occidental influences that Caphiria infused into it. Oduni influence on Zaclarian culture is noticeably visible in traditional Zaclarian architecture and folk arts. This blend of eastern and western cultures has given Zaclaria a diverse and unique society compared to other countries on Audonia. Major holidays in the Zaclaria include ''Eid al Fitr'', which marks the end of ''Ramadan'', and Independence Day (22 November), which marks when Zaclaria was given its independence from Caphiria in 1943. Another example is the distinctive wind tower which tops traditional Zaclarian buildings, the ''barjeel'' has become an identifying mark of Zaclarian architecture and is attributed to Oduni influence. | The culture of Zaclaria is a fusion of centuries-old attitudes and traditions rooted in Islamic heritage and Oduni and Diwai traditions as well as its historical role as an ancient trade center combined with the Occidental influences that Caphiria infused into it.
