Xiongnu Confederacy (Age of Authority)

The Xiongnu Confederacy, commonly referred to as simply Xiongnu or Northern Xiongnu, is an elective monarchic state that exists in Central and East Asia, bordering numerous tribal nations, as well as the Han Dynasty of China.

Death of Ghunan and rise of Janggi
On a political visit to the Han Dynasty, Ghunan, warlord of the Xiongnu, would become deeply sick upon return to the Xiongnu and would end up dying only a few days. Many citizens would declare the Han to be the reason of Ghunan's death, however, it would be historically discovered by scientists and historians that Ghunan would end up becoming sick from Smallpox, an epidemic disease that barely affected the Xiongnu, but majorly affected the Han Dynasty.

The death of Ghunan would result in large centralization of the Confederacy, and soon, Janggi, son of Ghunan, would proclaim himself warlord as a means of seeking revenge on the Han Dynasty and obtaining much of the Xiongnu's lost territory. One critic of this, Khoriubechi, second son of Ghunan, would end up being killed by Janggi as a means of keeping moral for war high. The death of her second son would cause Berude, widow of Ghunan, to take their final child, Jubkhan, far away as a means of raising him properly and not having to worry about being killed by Janggi.

Janggi, in his first few years of ruling, would indirectly allow the raiding and looting of Han Dynasty cities near the proclaimed territory [of the Han Dynasty]. He'd establish a personal militia and fortify much of the populous regions in the Xiongnu, as well as fortifying the shared border with the Han. Janggi, being the first warlord to not have been elected, would end up causing the major shift and movement from an elective to hereditary monarchy in the Xiongnu.
