Values and Ethics

Lexiconians believe in and value four main things, a code of sorts, which consists of unity, honor, knowledge, and courage.   Knowledge, research, and education were highly prized and valued on Lexicon, thus many of them were teachers, scientists, researchers, philosophers and theoreticians. Despite that, they were feirce, yet honorable warriors. As a result of them prizing education and knowledge, they naturally encouraged and supported traits like creativity and their population is highly and well educated and skilled. There are many universities and schools on Lexicon which are considered the best in the galaxy.   Independence is a trait that is valued highly in Lexiconian society; however, individualism isn't as society is generally more collective. Loyalty to family and unity is also highly valued because they had to band together just to survive on the harsh planet of Lexicon, but the loyalty only extends to their own Vhara.   Lexiconians unusually value merit and equality, but they are in a matriarchical society. Despite the high emphasis placed on it, merit takes second place to their family and matriarchy. Lexiconian society was often described as an unusal mix between merit and matriarchy though males weren't prohibited from holding positions of power and males were treated decently and could socially advance to a degree, in comparison to other matriarchical societies. However, women have and garner way more respect, power and have higher status in society than males in general. In the end, a male will never get, gain, and have the respect, honor, influence, power, and the status of a woman on Lexicon. Yes, a man can rise up and hold very high positions but it's just extremely difficult to do and so rare, not to mention Lexiconians are very uncomfortable with and dislike a man in such a high position of power.   Treating your Nany nicely and obeying her is probably the number one rule on Lexicon. Several Lexiconian folktales deal with the central role mothers, women, and motherhood has in society and culture, as well as their important role, often with religous themes as well, for their religion, Roalasism, also was one of the things that helped pave the way for their matriarchical and matrillineal society, as in Roalism, Lexiconians believe that despite how men and women are same and equal in many aspects, women give life, which passes down the power of Roalas, their god. However, it was actually their natural gender rate that was the true main cause of matriarchy; the natural sex rate is 107 females per 100 males, thus females outnumber males no matter what.   A Lexiconian's obligation is towards their mother, sisters and sisters’ children, in other words, their Vhara, even in marriage.
