Second Life Weapons

Background: Uyghur people

The Chinese sources indicate that the Uygurs are the direct descendants of the Huns. The ancestors of the Uyghur tribe were Altaic pastoralists called Tiele, who lived in the valleys south of Lake Baikal and around the Yenisei River.  The geographic location on the ancient trade routes between the East and the West, brought a cosmopolitan character to the Uyghur region, marked by linguistic, racial, and religious tolerance, but also made another populations interested in controlling those lands.  So it happened that the Tiele (Uyghur people) were eventually subjugated by the Xiongnu Mongols  in c 300 BC, who put them to work manufacturing weapons.
The Uyghurs had an extensive knowledge of medicine and medical practice. As the Mongols did not have their own written language, the Mongolian vertical script was developed as an adaption of the Uyghur script to write the Mongolian language. It was introduced by the Uyghur scribe Tatar-Tonga, who had been captured by the Mongols during a war in around 1204.

Background: The Xiongnu

Pastoral nomadic people wandering in search of grazing lands for their herds of horses, cows and sheep, this people has its origins in North East of Ordos desert, living along both shores of Yellow River. Xiongnu had no walled cities and did not engage in agriculture. The men were formidable warriors, trained from an early age to hunt on horseback with bow and arrow.
Xiongnu Empire was the first of its kind on the Eurasian steppe, and serves as a seed for the rising of the Mongol Empire. The Ordos was an important gathering point for the various pastoral peoples of Inner Mongolia, and it is more accurate to describe the Xiongnu as a confederacy of these various groups rather than a single, unified culture.
Though the Han continued to hold the Xiongnu and their nomadic way of life in disdain, they could not ignore the very real military threat they posed to the chinese Han Empire. To avert continued hostilities, the Han court was forced to maintain marital ties with the shanyu and offer annual tribute of silk, wines, rice and other foodstuffs.
