	Kara-Khitan Khanate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This regime survived until the arrival of Genghis Khan's Mongolian horsemen and was referred to in Chinese sources as Kara-Kitai, Kara-Khitai, Kara-Khitay, Kara-Khitan, Western Liao, Xi Liao or similar variants.
		When the Khitays came, along with Nestorian Naiman recruits, they solicited support among Qarluks from Semirechye to the Irtysh region.
		Though largely Mahayana and Confucian in organizing principles, the nucleus of Khitay elites were wise to adopt elements of Nestorian identity, as reflected in the Christian names of the Kara-Khitay Gur-Khans.

		The Qara Khitay, of a Manchurian provenance, arrived in Central Asia as fugitives after their Liao dynasty, which had ruled over Manchuria, Mongolia, and parts of north China (907-1125) was vanquished by another wave of Manchurian people, the Jurchens.
		The period of Qara Khitay vassalage was characterized by the continuing disintegration of the Qara-khanid state, presumably with the encouragement of the conquerors; from 1137 a separate line of princes ruled in Farg@a@na from Ozgand, establishing a third Qara-khanid Khanate.
		Under the Qara Khitay the Western Khanate had to cope with invasions and unrest caused by the Qarluq and Og@uz nomads (the Qara Khitay had tried to relocate some of the former to Ka@æg@ar; see GÚOZZ), as well as with the threat of the ambitious K¨úa@razmæa@hs, another reluctant vassal of the Qara Khitay.

		Anyway, if you want to come and check out what will soon be Old Hyboria at www.hyborian-age.com then we can keep you posted on our progress and you might have some fun gaming in the meantime.
		Hyboria is a Conan/fantasy based mod but the world of Conan has many continents, one of which is Khitai (the oriental one) Most likely based upon Qara-Khitai of the monguls/ homeland china invasion/repulsion Great Wall of China story and such....now, historically China didn't have samurai but in Howard's books this was so.

		At the same time, Bosworth lists Qara Hülegü as the son of Mö'eüken, who is listed as an otherwise unknown, to me, son of Chingiz [p.248].
		Similarly, other sources affirm that Jagatai-ids return to power by 1309, but Bosworth's list takes no note of this and simply continues with descendants of Chaghatay and Mö'eüken. This is perplexing.

		Chengguan’s references to Daoism, it will be shown, were his way of doing just that.
		The Western Liao, established by those Khitans who immigrated to the grasslands of Central Asia after the Jurchen conquest, is considered by the Liao shi to be a Chinese dynasty, and contemporary Muslim authors often denote its rulers as "The Chinese."
		The Northern Chinese tradition gave the Qara Khitai a higher cultural level and a more cohesive identity, what other nomadic dynasties in this region usually found in Islam.

		Uighurs ruled the area of Turfan between the mid-ninth century and around 1130, when they submitted to the rule by the Qara Khitai.
		But in 1209 the Uighur ruler known as Iduq qut (literally 'holy fortune,') rebelled against the Qara Khitai and submitted voluntarily to Chingiz Khan.
		The Uighurs were one of the first non-Mongol peoples to join the nascent Mongol empire, thus earning a respected priority in the Mongol bureaucracy, particularly as the literati (known as bakhshi, from the Chinese boshi 'doctor'), who organized the Mongol chancellery and created the first Mongol alphabet.
