The mongols are a vicious tribe of nomads to the North of our empire. They are mainly herders, riding horses; a very harsh life that many others would despise. The leader of these nomadic clans, Ghengis Khan, literally "the greatest prince between the two oceans" set out in conquest to rule the continent. He started with Peking in the early 1200s. China was the first empire to fall to the Mongols. They invented the stirrup, a technology used so the rider could stand up while on a horse and use both hands at once, mainly to shoot a bow. The Mongols lived under a strict rule while in battle, if you surrender immediately, your life is spared and you become their slave. If you do not surrender, you will die.
