The '''Kel Tenere''' ({{wp|Tamashek}}: ⴽⴻⵍ ⵜⴻⵏⴻⵔⴻ), also known as the '''Tenerians''' or '''Imuhaɣ''', are a {{wp|nomad|nomadic}} {{wp|Amazigh people|Amaziɣ}} group indigenous to central [[Ajax#Scipia|Scipia]] and have historically inhabited parts of [[Messidor Union|Aɣmatia]], southern [[Tyreseia]], parts of [[Alanahr]] and the [[Charnea|Charnean Empire]]. In the modern day they are less widespread and are found primarily in Charnea as the native people of the [[Ninva|Tenere desert region]]. The term ''Kel Tenere'' translates to "People of the Desert" and is used by the Tenerians to differentiate themselves from the non-Amaziɣ ''Kel Eraahar'' or "People of the River", which encompasses the majority of the ethnic groups in modern day Charnea. In a more general context, the Tenerians refer to themselves as ''Imuhaɣ'' or "free people" , a term which relates them to their Amaziɣ cousins and distinguishes them from other desert dwelling non-Amaziɣ such as the {{wp|Arab people|Gharbaic}} {{wp|Bedouins}}. Today most of those who self identify as Kel Tenere are have become {{wp|urbanization|urbanized}} and transitioned to a modern sedentary lifestyle, while a small minority retain the ancestral nomadic way of life. However, most Tenerians observe a version of the nomadic Tenerian culture including traditional music, festivities, customs, [[Religion in Charnea|religion]] and other prominent features of the culture such as the martial art of [[Tebillant]] and a [[Gun culture in Charnea|gun culture]] rooted in nomadic practices. The Kel Tenere united under a powerful chieftain [[Ihemod the Inheritor]], who went on to establish the Charnean Empire in the latter half of the 14th century. These events represented a deep upheaval of the Tenerian social fabric, breaking down a large part of the caste system and beginning a period of settlement and cultural exchange for the previously entirely nomadic and relatively isolated group. In the modern day, Tenerian society and culture is deeply defined by its role within the nation of Charnea and retains a system of {{wp|clan}} membership and customs rooted in its nomadic past.

Artemis (c. 2022) is the pet cat of the twin princesses Isabella and Valentia of Dakmoor, daughters of Martin, Crown Prince of Dakmoor and Maria of Latium. Nicknamed the First Cat of Dakar, Artemis is an adopted stray male black cat, though the princesses insist that he’s an “outdoors cat” and therefore does not make public appearances with either the princesses or the royal family of Dakmoor. Due to this, Artemis has attracted a great deal of public interest on account of his mysterious nature, and is referred to as the “First Cat of Dakar”. Reporters and royal family watchers occasionally trespass into the old town district of Dakar in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Artemis, of which few photographs are known to exist. Occasionally, the princesses will take pictures with the cat for promotional purposes. As a result of the cat’s close association with the princesses, he is often seen as an “unofficial” mascot of the Dakmooran Royal Family. (See more...)
