Blue Horde

Map of the Golden Horde with its constituent parts, including the Blue Horde (west), the White Horde (east) and Russian vassals.

The Blue Horde (Mongolian: Хөх орд/khökh ord; Tatar: Күк Урда/Kük Urda; Turkish: Gök Ordu) was a crucial component of the Mongol Empire established after Genghis Khan's demise in 1227. Functioning as the eastern part of the split Golden Horde, it contrasted with the White Horde's western segment (see the Turkic cardinal system), adhering to the Mongolian and Turkic tradition of cardinal direction colors.
