"She prefers dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."
Patriarchal discipline was ingrained into the very fabric of their world. It had gone on for generations and didn't break for holidays, births, funerals or world wars. It always got transmitted...
The planet Sholem, is a desert planet in a vast solar system with nineteen other planets. Sholem is about 7.5 times Smaller than Earth and its gravity is about 4.09 times that of Earth.
A single day lasts 24 hours and a year lasts 365 days. The planet is made up of a continent, which make up 85% of the planet's landmass. 2 moon(s) orbit the planet and Sholem itself orbits a yellow sun in an elliptic orbit.
The plant-like organisms on this planet are dominated by various types of grass, but they only reach short heights. However, they're the cause flowers and fungi are non-existent on this planet, as they absorb all the shallow nutrients. Trees, bushes and shrubs thrive well, as they can reach the deeper nutrients. They reach incredible heights, especially the trees, who sometimes block out too much light for the lower layers.
When nutrients are scarce, many organisms have methods of storing those nutrients for times of need. Some have become so specialized in this they can go for very long times without the need of additonal food, to then stock up when nutrients are available. However, some species on this planet didn't develop such methods. Instead, they simply take what they need, whenever they need it, from wherever they can. If nutrients aren't available in the ground, it will take them from others, including its own kind. This has occasionally lead to the survival of this species, but the downfall of another.
The water plants on this planet are very different from what we're used to on Earth. While they roughly share the same colors, or lack thereof, these plants have developed into mostly flesh eating species. Almost no aquatic creature is safe, even the bigger ones can sometimes get caught in these death traps.
Like Earth, this planet is home to many sentient mammals, both land and aquatic. However, the land mammals are far more advanced. What's perhaps most peculiar is that on this planet animals and other creatures seem to be the most intelligent and the mammals depends on them for strength. While the differences between this plant and Earth are vast, the similarities are astonishing and perhaps a bit frightening.
