== Traditions ==

==== Fists & Sticks ====

This ancient tradition is used to handle disputes in the Shem culture.

In this, a line of 5 blocks is dug from the earth. This line is 3 blocks deep. One person stands at block 1 the other on block 5. With no armor, only sticks are used in this duel. This has been believed to have developed over years of unfair duels and revenge quests. A long-forgotten war between chieftains was once ended with a duel of Fists & Sticks.

==== Cattle ====

Living in a barren area the cow was introduced at a very early time in the Shemite culture.

Over time the cattle became a very important resource in the Shem society Bulls also mean prestige or nobility among chieftains.

==== Nether Year ====

A right of passage for you Shemites. When a youngling reaches a certain age, they are required to spend a year inside of the nether. Not much is known by outsiders on this process. Some speculate this is to toughen up their people. Using the logic, if you can survive the nether then you can survive Alathra.
