The kurultai of 1206
1206 — At the Onon’s headwaters the assembled peoples raise the white standard of nine tails and proclaim Temüjin Chinggis Khan. The tribes that fought each other for centuries are dissolved into decimal units of one army. The steppe has one owner now.
This is one scene of Chapter 2 — Temüjin Becomes Genghis Khan in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
