Nogai Horde (Ninety-Five Theses Map Game)

The Nogai Horde, also known as the Nohai Horde or the Nogai Yortu, is a moderately sized confederation of 18 different Mongol and Turkic tribes. The largest of these tribes is the Mongol tribe known as the Manghits, who established the Nogai Horde.

The Nogai Horde was created in the 1440s, but to find out why you need to go back further. In the 13th century, Nogai Khan, then leader of the Golden Horde and one of Genghis Khans direct decendants, formed an army of Manghits, joined by several Turkish tribes. After a century, in the 1440s, the Nogai Horde was founded and led by Edigu, commander of Manghit and Jochid origin, on his paternal and maternal side, respectively.
