Ejin River

The Amur, also known as the Black River, is a river that flows in Inner Asia.

History

In 1259, Möngke Khan's son Asutai marched with his Kheshig guards and commander Bayan to bring his late father's body to the Khans' burial site at Burkhan Khaldun so they could lay him to rest. While traversing beside the river, Asutai convinced Bayan to join both the Kheshig and the Mongolian Templars.

Behind the scenes

Although the river is not directly named in the novel, the mention that the Tangut general Chen Lun was born here clearly ^{[citation needed]} means the Ejina River in present-day Inner Mongolia and Ningxia and not the Amur River, which is located in Northeast Asia and whose name is derived from the Tungusic language family.
