EVENT
Throughout the Great Empire of the Mongols, all is not well. A loose confedaration of nations who have fought each other at every turn, throughout history, are forced to fight together and the lesser Khans are unhappy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Advisor to the Khan of the Uzbek Horde, Mohhamed Al-Fayet, is sitting talking to his Khan,
"The people are not happy! We have carved out our empire from within the land of the Timurids and now we fight with them?"
"Do not preach to me about how to run the Horde, the lands to the West are richer than those of the Timurids."
"And will we ever rule any of those lands? The Golden Horde takes what it wants and is using us to get it. We have not gotten any of these fertile lands for our own, they have all come under the control of that fool Bars."
"Bars was a great leader, do not talk of him in such a manner."
"Rule how you will, but your people, and many of the lesser Khan's are not happy. There shall be revolts if you do nothing."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the lands of the Timurids, the people are not happy.
"Must we fight with our enemies?" Nadji Khan, a ruler of some lands in the North of the Empire shouts at a meeting of his warlords,
"I shall not lead you North to where ever those bastards want us to fight. The second we are gone the Uzbeks will spill over the border and take our women."
His warlords murmur their agreement at his words as Nadji continues:
"And if they are foolish enough to leave their lands, we shall take back that which was stolen from our fathers, that which is rightfully ours."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further north in the lands known as Ust Urt, a Khan sits at his table in his butte and looks over his map of the Mongol lands. He sips at his wine as a plan slowly starts to form in his rather dim mind.
"Takeover." A simple word but it is one which he is obsessed with, he was close to becoming Khan of the Nogai Horde last time the leadership was to be decided but Ghâzî Nuruz was able to defeat him in battle decisively and stop him. But now all of Ghâzî's forces were out of the country and the Khan still had not sent his to help, it would be the perfect oppurtunity to take that which was so cruely denied of him before.
"Yes," he thought, opening another bottle, "This would be the perfect oppurtunity."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the lands of Sadrinsk in the lands of Siber, there is a village whose Shaman has chosen today to make a very important speech to his village.
"They have turned away, all of them! They have turned away from the gods of our fathers, from the Gods of Kubilai Genghis Khan Himself! Instead they worship The Devil from the West, the one they call Allah. We cannot live with this, we can not tolerate it! The spirits are angry and they will destroy our armies if we do nothing! The devil worshippers are using us as their own soldiers and have taken our money for the glory of their false religion! They fight for a cause that is not to be won, a Jihad we shall not stand for."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the Empire the people grow uneasy. Just as after the Great Khan's death the Mongols descended into internal bickering, Bars' death is doing the same thing. There are few men capable of holding together so many warring factions. The Butcher of Constantinople was one of them, but now that he is gone the inevitable is happening.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even further prevalent and insidious is the general disquiet from the Orthadox populous of these lands. Agitating and provoking the situation further. For themselves and the disorder of their masters they strive to avenge Constantinople.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
