Baljuna Covenant (1203)

On the Mongol Empire map as “The Baljuna Covenant”

1203 — Temüjin, beaten and hunted, reaches a muddy lake with nineteen followers. Among them are Muslims, Christians and Buddhists. He vows to share every fortune with the men who share its water. The bond is loyalty to him, regardless of lineage; in this small company we can see something of the empire to come.
