The great Golden Horde was the name whispered by the terrified rulers of Eastern Europe and Siberia. The Horde had been sent west by Ogodei, successor to the immortal Chinggis Khan. Under Batu the rampaging horsemen took their tents to the very forests of Germany before settling back to impose their rule on the western part of an empire that now stretched from Poland to China, from Siberia to the tip of India - the greatest contiguous land empire the world has ever seen.
Though the ferocity and savagery of the Horde's conquest is still whispered with terror in the rebuilt streets of Kiev, Moscow, Warsaw and a thousand other razed cities, the Mongols brought a rare civilisation to their conquered territories. Communications sped across the vast deserts via pony-borne couriers. Justice was fair and impartial and stretched across caste boundaries. Peace had been imposed by the sword and the bow, but once the smoke cleared, peace reigned. The Great Yasa of Chinggis Khan held sway and guided the Khans and their descendants.
One glorious summer morning in Karakorum the Khan spoke to us:
"Do you hear the singing of your blood? Do you dream longingly of endless plains? Does your soul feel empty without a horse beneath you and a bow in your hand? Does your heart cry out for victories and grim death cause you laughter? If so, you may have a Mongol's soul. Take an expeditionary tumen, build the Golden Horde in this land and bring the Empire back to glory!"
