The Ishmaelites were rogue Shemsu-Heru that abandoned the crusade of Horus for a variety of reasons. They are named after Ishmael, the first Shemsu-Heru who spoke against Horus' leadership and who was banished to walk eternity alone. Most Ishmaelites left Egypt and traveled across the world and when the Diaspora was called, many Shemsu-Heru found out that their banished cousins had various advantages in the foreign lands they had wandered through.
