APEX AGE: EXPLORATION
In the steppe of Mongolia, Temüjin – who would become Genghis Khan – united feuding clans and led them across the known world. The Mongols used not only their famed archers, but also debuted gunpowder on the battlefield. Internally, the empire was a tolerant state, permitting freedom of religion, safe roads, and a passport system. But with the great Khan’s passing, the Mongol horde splintered.
