==Behind the scenes==
The Black River is never identified by any other name in the 2016 novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Tomb of the Khan]]'', leaving it somewhat ambiguous as to what river it is intended to be, since there are two rivers flowing in northern [[China]] that have been historically called the "Black River". The first is the Amur, which flows in northeast China and forms most of its border with [[Russia]], while the second is the {{Wiki|Ejin River}}, which flows through {{Wiki|Gansu}} and {{Wiki|Inner Mongolia}}. The mention that the {{Wiki|Tangut people|Tangghut}} soldier [[Chen Lun]] came from the Black River's valley<ref name="CH21"/> indicates that the river in the novel is most likely intended to be the Ejin River.

From the perspective of geographical distance, it is impossible for the Mongols to transport Mongke Khan, who died in Sichuan, to the northeast to Manchuria and then west to the Burhan Khaldun Mountains. It is only possible to directly cross the Ejina River to the north.
