Ihemod (30 August 1333 - 10 December 1390), also known as Ihemod Imekkusa, was a 14th century Tenerian conqueror who founded the empire of the Kel Kaharna which encompassed more than half of the continent of Scipia at the time of his death. During his 33 year reign as Amenokal of the Kel Kaharna confederation, Ihemod was an undefeated commander in battle and is widely considered to be one of the greatest military minds of the era. Ihemod's legacy is one that is deeply controversial even in the modern day. He is widely considered to be one of the most brutal warlords in Scipian history, whose wide-ranging atrocities rise to the label of genocide. He is also the father of the Charnean nation, the first to unify the disparate nomadic tribes of the Ninva since the fall of Tamazgha, and whose conquests paved the way for the renaissance of Ninvite civilization that had been lost more than a thousand years prior.
Ihemod was born in August of 1333 in the Arwa mountains near the city of Ekelhoc in the western Tenere desert. Very little is known about Ihemod's childhood, parents or birth clan, as he was taken as a slave during a major raid on the Arwa tribes by the Kel Awakar confederation of the eastern Tenere region. In the first six years of his captvity, Ihemod had attempted to escape on four occasions with the fourth and final attempt resulting in the killing of an Awakari tribesman, for which Ihemod was sentenced to die upon being recaptured. The Amenokal of the Kel Awakar, Akorebi ag Uksem, intervened by ordering a stay of the boy's execution and taking the 12 year old Ihemod as his own ward. Ihemod became the Amenokal's protégé over the ensuring years, becoming involved in the military ambitions of the powerful Kel Awakar and learning military tactics and leadership under the tutelage of Akorebi and his subordinates in the field.
Following the Siriwang Eruption in 1353, the Ninva was among many regions of the world affected by fluctuations in climate which resulted in famine and hardship for the Kel Awakar. Likely affected by the stress of this crisis, Akorebi ag Uksem's health declined in the two years following the distant eruption which darkened skies around the globe. In 1355, now on his deathbed, Amenokal Akorebi formally adopted the 22 year old Ihemod as his son and named him the designated heir of the Akorebid dynasty and power-base in the Awakar, above his three biological sons. This splintered the Kel Awakar and threw the confederation into a civil war in which Ihemod, now honorary Amɣar of several tribes of the Awakar, cornered and defeated the Akorebid princes to claim the title of undisputed Amenokal of the Awakar. By 1360, Amenokal Ihemod had unified the Tenerian tribes of the eastern and western Tenere deserts within the Ninva for the first time since the fall of ancient Tamazgha in 250 CE, taking the oasis city of Agnannet to serve as the capital for his new Kel Kaharna confederation. Immediately following this foundation, Ihemod would go on to launch an invasion of the Agala highlands to the south which would expand into a full scale invasion of Itayana, marking the beginning of the Ihemodian Wars which would continue unabated until Ihemod's death 33 years later.
