Legend
In 1177, Genghis Khan, along with his younger brothers Khasar and Belgutei, sought aid from Tooril Khan of the Khereid tribe, a close ally of their late father. As a sign of respect, they presented him with a sable robe. On their journey, Genghis Khan discovered a golden whip in the Tsonjin Boldog area. In Mongolian tradition, finding a whip is considered a powerful symbol of good fortune and success.
