85_85536 Tartariya Khanate, Tronika Province, the mouth of the Dnieper River into the Black Sea.

With the most abundant water flow in the entire khanate, excellent harbors that do not freeze all year round, and large areas of grassland, pastures and arable land, Tronica has now become one of the most important areas of the Centaur Khanate.

Traditionally, though, the vast and more expansive Cuman-Chincha steppe is the homeland and birthplace of centaurs. At the same time, from a legal point of view, the capital of the Centaur Khanate was located further north in the Ulus region, and the city of Kiev, taken from the old kingdom of the Slavites, was the capital of the khanate.

But both regions have their own drawbacks.

The Cuman-Chincha steppe is too desolate and bitter. The long winters and barren produce fueled the centaurs' expansion outward. At the same time, when they talked about their original hometown, they were not too reluctant.

Even today, the vast steppes are still the great khan, the largest source of soldiers. The centaur warriors, who were born there and were more savage than the western Ulus, and the human nomadic tribes loyal to the centaur khans, such as the Cuman, Chincha, and Tatar, were the vanguard and backbone of the Khan's army. But when people think of the steppes in the eastern part of the Khanate, their first impression is still desolation and poverty.

Of course, after occupying a large part of the richer territory of the human world. The centaur khan moved the Khan's court out of the steppe. On weekdays, there are not many trips to Cuman-Chincha.

Interestingly, the number of trips to the steppe seems to be directly related to the aggressiveness of the centaur Khan.

In general, the average centaur khan rarely went to the steppes. The more incompetent khans usually do not travel to the steppe for the rest of their lives. The khans who were enterprising and wanted to continue to expand their territory were different. They will spend a lot of time in the savannah, in order to recruit the elite nomadic knights and centaur warriors of the steppe.

However, there are a few exceptions. It's as if now, Sarida is in control of the country that can be called the most powerful force in the Old World.

This centaur khan, known as the greatest centaur khan of all time in Tartaria, the darling of Tengri, the master of the Ulus and the Chincha steppe, the whipper of the world, the enemy of mankind, the ruler of the centaurs and nomads, is different from his predecessors. It is true that he rarely travels to the Cuman-Chimcha steppes. But everyone believed that the centaur khan had a strength and wisdom far superior to that of his predecessors.

He is closer to a modern king than a "centaur khan".

Under his control, the Tartariya Khanate made great strides in its political, economic, and military affairs. The army, which had originally relied too much on steppe warriors, was reorganized and added a large number of well-equipped and well-trained professional units composed of human infantry. At the same time, the Khan also acquired the craft of making and using muskets and cannons from humans and dark elves. The Tartarya Khanate thus gained a projection force that was in no way inferior to that of any enemy, armed with gunpowder weapons.

In terms of politics. Sarida Khan abandoned the past, anachronistic system of tribal aristocratic councils. The bureaucracy was re-elected, and intellectuals who had defected from the human world were appointed to help him reform the economy and develop trade.

Many scholars and alchemists in the human world who were persecuted by the Church of the Lord of Light have fled to his territory. These people are treated very well. Without religion as a stumbling block, the natural sciences of the khanate developed rapidly. Under his control, the first printing house, the first modern ironworks, and the first national university were opened in the Khanate.

Despite many of Sarida Khan's policies, he was strenuously opposed by conservative forces in the country. But at the same time, younger, more motivated, and more powerful young centaurs and human nobles gathered around Sarida Khan. This makes the position of the centaur khan extremely secure.

After several victories in several wars against the remnants of the Slavites, the Slavits, the Empire of the East, the Goths, and the Ottoman Empire under the control of the Dark Elves in the south, the prestige of Thrida Khan reached its peak. He was seen as the new hope of the Centaur Khanate. He is also seen as the best candidate to conquer and annex the entire human world.

In this case, the khan did not need to go to the steppe himself, and there would still be countless nomadic warriors who would come to the king's precursor. At the same time, the Khan, although still attached importance to the nomadic cavalry troops. However, they have the intention of reforming the military system.

Compared to the free and loose humans and centaur nomadic cavalry. He prefers to have a versatile and disciplined army that includes infantry, cavalry, musketeers, and siege artillery, including humans and centaurs.

According to Sarida Khan, this was due to the fact that in the steppe zone, the Tartariya Khanate already had an absolute advantage. And want to continue to push to the West. Then they have to face more strong castles, mountains, woodlands, rivers and other terrain obstacles. Under such circumstances, a purely cavalry unit would not be able to handle all combat missions.

That's why Tharida Khan spends more time in the Tronica region.

And further north, the Ulus region. Sarida Khan also frequented it. But more often than not, Sarida Khan went to the Ulus for a purpose. He went with an army, with enough supplies and the ambition to conquer the remnants of the Slavites in the north.

Although the Ulus region is vast, the terrain is very flat. There is no obstacle to keep. In the north, whether it was Ruthenia or the Slavic cavalry of Bilm, they could move south with ease and gallop across the Ulus region without hindrance.

It's not smooth here. It is the dividing line between the Tartariya Khanate and the human world, and it is also the main battlefield where the two sides are fighting fiercely and repeatedly. Therefore, the royal court of Sarida Khan, Kiev, is more often just an ornament. The Khan's elite standing army, the army of nomads who served on a rotational basis, and the large number of new human armies were almost all deployed in the Tronica region. At the same time, the central government of the khanate, and the officials of all stripes also stayed in this position.

The northern part of the Tronika region is a vast expanse of grasslands, farms and open fields. To the south, there are peninsulas with broken topography and the Sea of Azov formed by the inward depression of the Black Sea. There are many natural harbors.

These ports were the most important source of economy for the ancient Slavic kingdom in classical times. Wealth, catches, grain and timber from maritime trade, spices, textiles and olive oil from the south, from the countries bordering the azure sea, from the north down the upper Dnieper and from the interior of the Guslavi region to handicrafts, jewellery and other items. All of them converge in the Tronica region, which makes the region extremely prosperous in terms of commerce and trade.

After the Centaurs of the Tartariya Khanate occupied the area, the maritime trade was abandoned for a time. However, with the encouragement of Sarida Khan, the seafaring trade in the Tronica region flourished again. And with the change of the times and the increase of trade goods, its prosperity is even greater than that of the classical era.

Although militarily and diplomatically, the Tartariya Khanate was at odds with the humans of the north and the dark elves of the south. But this did not affect the trade of the three parties.

With the encouragement of Sarida Khan, textiles, woolen and cotton cloths, manufactured goods, works of art and various magical objects of the northern human world. Cocoa, chili peppers, and agricultural products imported from the distant New World, as well as woolen tapestries of the Southern Dark Elves, spices, and coffee. Silk, tea and porcelain from afar can be found in the markets of Tronica.

The relaxed ethnic and religious policies have brought vigor and vitality to the region.

Here you can see the round gold-domed buildings of the southern Ottoman style, and you can also see the Gothic-style spire buildings. You can enjoy the latest Lombard wines and Ottoman barbecue with sauce and meat. You can wear a cross-shaped badge to promote the Lord of Radiance, and of course, you can wear other fancy clothes to promote other "paganisms".

In Kherson, the capital of the province of Tronica and the seat of the royal tent of Thrida Khan. Goths, Slavits, nomads, centaurs, dark elves, Levants, Berbers and even dwarves, orcs and goblins came and went.

Intelligent beings of all colors, languages, dresses, and ethnicities gather in the streets, ports, and bazaars of Kherson. While bringing a huge amount of wealth to the Tartariya Khanate, it also brought rare treasures, the latest commodities, and the latest scientific research and technology from all over the world. As well as the latest intelligence news.

And the one who controls this qiē is Sarida Khan, the strongest, most enlightened, wisest and most brave centaur Khan in Tartaria.

In the descriptions of humans and dark elves in the north and south, this centaur khan is a terrifying warrior who is more than a foot tall, weighs 500 kilograms, eats ten humans or dark elf children in a meal, and is savage and brutal.

In their paintings, there are often depictions of Sarida Khan munching on all sorts of strange, unexplained raw flesh on top of countless blood and corpses.

But of course, these are all ways to slander and demonize one's opponents. Anyone who can really get close to Sarida Khan knows that this centaur khan is very personable. His body is very well-proportioned, both tall and weight-wise.

He is handsome, fair-skinned, with bright black eyes and two black beards that are meticulously combed.

He also doesn't eat people, or any kind of intelligent beings. Neither the elderly nor the children will not. In fact, with his boundless wealth, he is a man who is used to enjoyment.

Countless people were willing to provide him with countless precious ingredients from the deep sea to the high air, and in his court, dozens of chefs from various regions of the north and south racked their brains every day to provide him with the best delicacies. Don't say what kind of raw meat it is, even if the heat of the dish is rarely lacking and the seasoning is missing. He wouldn't eat anything like that.

This is the example of Sarida Khan, an enviable, tasteful, capable, civilized, civilized centaur khan. At the same time, he is also a strong monarch who can give people great pressure, great oppression and fear
