    Default Had the Greats heard of Genghis Khan?

    Genghis Khan was not a wulin man, and he had no interest in wulin affairs, so he's not likely to have heard of the Greats (East Heretic, West Poison, South Emperor, North Beggar), but had they heard of him? During the time of LOCH, the name of Genghis Khan was quickly becoming infamous throughout Eurasia and soon, people from the Korean peninsula to the Mediterranean would know (and fear) his name. Did the Greats know of the Mongolian conqueror whose fame and achievements dwarfed their own?

    I'm sure they did once the Mongolians started invading the Song. Ouyang Feng even went to Mongolia.

    Au Yeung Fung's adopted homeland of Turkestan would become the domain of Genghis' third son, Prince Chagahatai, so Old Poison probably should have become aware of his new overlord.

    Then again, Old Poison was soon to become unaware of anyone...including himself.
