History
After the great war, Ganbatar the Golden Dragon of Khand was left with the task of rebuilding his forefather's great empire. To return the Variags to power in the south-east he established his kingdom as part of the Confederacy of Easterlings under Khan Joetatoe. Joetatoe allowed him to continue leading his kingdom, as well as generously giving him a high position within the Confederacy's government. Now he resides within his golden city Kugavod, building his empire to make his father proud
