The influence of the Mandae numeral system is ubiquitous. The Sacred Game of Roads of [[Xaewoon]] takes its influence from somes - 1, 2, 3 - treating them as an incremental path. It also explains why the number 5 is treated as sacred by the Xaewoon believers, since this is the amount of times the road in the Sacred Game of Roads turns, continuing the logic of the Mandae symbols by adding two more turns.

[[Rahkahnja]] treats the Mandae numeral system visually, with temples adopting the layout that matches one of the 12 digits.
The significance of the dozenal numeral system is also reflected in the fact that across most cultures on the Continent 12 is considered to be the age of ascension.
