The Council of the Horselords

The council of the Horselords is a Khanate situated in the steppe on the south-western part of the Old World. It's a fierce country relying on horses and exotic animals to survive in this hard climate. Its leader is the Horse King, the current and first Horse King being Gekke I.

History
Before the year zero the ancient seers prophesized the coming of a Horse Lord rising up to unite and rule the many tribes in the steppe. In this period all tribes were independent entities led by a certain Horse Lord. The prophesy came true with the rise of the great Horse King Gekke I. He united the steppe and subdued 4 other Horse Lords whom he declared his advisors. Thus with the down of year zero Gekke I has created a Khanate in the steppe, uniting the tribes for the first time for outward expansion.

Politics
The council of the Horselords sounds like it is a country ruled by a council, of horselords, but in practice it is ruled entirely by the Horse King, currently Gekke I. The Horselords have merely an advisory role. Normally this would upset them greatly and they would be deceitful but due to the religious status of Gekke I as the prophesized uniter the ambitious Lords are kept in check.

Culture
The council of the Horselords has their own religion: Kandarin. A practitioner of this religion is called a Kandar. It is a warrior religion where the honour of serving your tribe in war and battle is the highest honour you can receive. This is why the horse lords all fight their own battles, the same goes for the horse king. animals and men are equal (only war animals) as they show honour in battle and war as well same as the men. every type of men is equal so skin colour and shit doesn't matter as long as you show honour by serving.
