History
Prehistory
Tsagaani history begins with TrueWig Khan, whose presence became known in late August 2023 after Belmontese scouts found a collection of yurts in the valley below them. On September 9th, Adrarian officials reported that Tsagaan had moved into a Testifikan village in the nearby Taiga forest. Tsagaan informed Adraria that they had no intention of further expansion into the forest, marking the first time that the Khanate would engange with another nation in an official capacity. Tsagaani forces then forcefully relocated the villagers across lake Tung-Ak, after which they burned the occupied village. Tsagaan would then begin a program of "reeducation" for the imported Testifikans, in an effort to convert them to the Tsagaani way of life.
TrueWig Khan would also begin his tradition of taking spiritual journeys during this time, during which the Khan would leave the Khanate for several days. TrueWig would appoint a Tur-Khan to run the Khanate during his absences.
