The Great Horde is a Hobgoblin khanate originating as the northwestern sector of the Hobgoblin Empire. With the fragmentation of the Orc Empire it has become a functionally separate khanate.

After the death of the founder of the Great Horde, his dynasty flourished, though the intrigues did instigate a partial civil war. The Horde’s military power peaked during the reign of Uzbeg. The territory of the Great Horde at its peak included most of Eastern Europe from the Urals to the Danube River, and extended east deep into Siberia. In the south, the Great Horde’s lands bordered on the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, and the territories of the Hobgoblin dynasty known as the Ilkhanate.

The khanate has experienced violent internal political disorder, before it briefly reunited. However, soon after the invasion of Timur, the founder of the Timurid Empire, the Great Horde broke into smaller khanates which have declined steadily in power These internal struggles allowed the northern vassal state of Muscovy to rid itself of the “Goblinoid Yoke” at the Great stand on the Ugra river.
