The '''Mongol Empire''' was a pan-[[Asia]]n and Eastern [[Europe]]an empire originating from the Mongolian steppes of Northern Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries.<br />
<br />
Expanding from a number disparate Mongolian tribes brought together by the future-[[Genghis Khan]], the Mongol Empire went on to become the single largest contiguous empire in recorded history. Beginning in the steppes, it eventually stretched from the Sea of [[Japan]] to the gates of [[Vienna]], [[Austria]], and from the Republic of Novgorod in the north, to the [[India]]n subcontinent in the South.<br />
<br />
==War with the Assassins==<br />
During the latter part of the 13th century, the Mongols became the major enemy of the [[Assassins]]. In 1227, the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], his son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]], and the Mongolian Assassin [[Qulan Gal]] were responsible for the death of Genghis Khan, whom they suspected of wielding a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] in explanation of his rise to power.<br />
<br />
Thirty years later, in 1257, the Mongols finally reached and besieged the Assassins' fortress of [[Masyaf]], partially destroying and seizing it and forcing the Assassins to scatter throughout Europe, Africa and Asia.<ref name="The Secret Crusade">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref><br />
<br />
After the siege, a Mongol patrol intercepted the fleeing Assassins and famed explorers - [[Niccolò Polo|Niccolò]] and [[Maffeo Polo]] - and obtained the [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex|Codex]] of Altaïr from them.<ref name="The Secret Crusade" /> Years later, Niccolò's son, [[Marco Polo|Marco]], traveled to the court of [[Kublai Khan]], grandson of Genghis Khan, and retrieved the Codex from him.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref><br />
