==== 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
