Kenuqse Giver-of-Letters

Kenuqse was a Kumaqoq historian, diplomat, inventor, and councilor most known for his creating the Kumaqoq Script and fathering Nanuq of Oksida

Early life
Born to Tenuq of Kumaq, Kenuqse spent much of his early upbringing in the traditional Kumaqoq lifestyle before being sent to the then-frontier region of Cheneoq to apprentice under his grandmother, Kanuq Chiefslayer in -53E0. Under her tutelage, Kenuqse received substantial exposure to Norlundic and Vegan technology and intelligentsia before returning the Mount Kumaq to marry his first wife, Maril Rhodera in -40E0.

Political career
Though planning to spend only a year at Mount Kumaq as was customary within the traditions of Ashlander Folk Religion, Maril's becoming pregnant obliged him to stay through the winter of -39E0 by which point he was made Councilor of Kumaq, a position he held until he resigned in 2E0 as part of his general retirement. As the longest seated councilor at Kumaq, Kenuqse was credited with the standardization of the Ashlander writing system onto the Kumaqoq Script, brokering a peace with the CRS that saw the Ashlands leave a war they took little part in with substantial territorial gains and reparations, and with organizing the assimilation of the Sankaran Elves into the Ashlands.

Later life and death
Following Maril Rhodera's death in -13E0 as a casualty of The Winter War, Kenuqse spent much of his life devoted to his work as a councilor and historian, composing several volumes on Ashlander history and culture, adapting the Kumaqoq Script for use of the Sankaran Elves' language, and maintaining the internal coherency of the Ashlands in the tenuous inter-war era. Though never particularly close to his eldest daughter, Nanuq of Oksida, the two were known to have become entirely estranged following his marriage to Chidaq of Makhno in -3E0.

Kenuqse died in the early spring of 13E0, following which he was named a hero of the Ashlands and given perhaps the most ostentatious funeral in Ashlander history before being interred beneath a cairn on cliffs of Mount Kumaq. His remains would later be exhumed at the behest of his daughter Nanuq prior to the Oksidan Exodus.
