The Mongol traitor slew his fellow Khan warriors to death, leaving the bodies to burn for all time beneath the eastern sun. During the time of great conquest that expanded the Khans empire, only four tribes rivaled Mongolian rule. Naimans to the west, Merkits to the north, the Tanguts to the south, and Jin to the east.

Jin was his tribe for fear of betrayal from the Khans horde, he took his fellow warriors’ horses to travel back to the mighty towards his enemy. There the traitor invades the Mongolian ruler’s court with his steps. Quietly amongst the great hall seeing the mighty Khan dressed in golden satire. A magical force that lay the spirit of Mongolian rule. The Khan council. Seeing his enemy ruler upon the throne Genghis asks what happened to his warriors? The traitor speaks of an ambush from the Jin tribe that resulted in the deaths of most if not all Jin warriors and that he was the only survivor. Again only imaging the lie of killing his own brethren in arms that lie still across the Mongolian desert.
