The '''Mongol Empire''' was a nomadic civilization originating from the Mongolian steppes of Northern Asia who, during the 13th and 14th centuries, expanded 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]], {{wiki|Austria}}; and from the Republic of Novgorod in the north, to the [[India]]n subcontinent in the South.<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 Piece of Eden in explanation of his meteoric rise to power. 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 />
