| Video Discription | "The Baljuna Covenant and the Fall of the Ong Khan," would be a badass name for a band, I think. Ong Khan is a title given to Toghrul of the Kereid by the Jin, essentially meaning "prince Khan/King Khan," depending on the translation. Known also as Wang Khan, Ong being the Mongolian form of Wang. Baljuna is important because it showed how Temujin's followers remained loyal to him even in the darkest moment, and how he sprung back. Qalqaljid Sands would effectively be the final battle he lost in his military career, everything else would come up Chinggis. I didn't mention how Toghrul's defeat and death are sometimes linked to origins of the Prester John legend that reached the West. First of all, the Prester John legend predated 1203, although some such as Marco Polo would conflate Toghrul with Prester John, due to the fact that he was a Christian (of the Nestorian variety). He is not the origins of it however, as I will get into when I go over the Prester John story and how it relates to the Mongols in the future. SOURCES: de Rachewiltz, Igor.
