I'm caught red-handed, Khargit is indeed just a bastardized derivation of Khergit. My creativity has its limits. It would seem that my consistency does too, as there I spelled it Khargit but in my actual sheet it was Khargat. I guess I'll say that Khargat is the way I'll roll with now on. :lol

I like your little story on the history and will see about implementing it into my sheet.

Do keep in mind that the Khargats are not the best of vassals by any measure. No largescale sacking of Dieuporteille would be going on in peacetime, but small bands might still roam about unwanted and the occasional skirmish or looting of a hamlet might happen. The Khan can't control all his fractious people even if he deigned to, and like the real Cossacks some of them are little more than glorified bandits or vagabonds that roam the realm. And I'm thinking that the Khargats would have been subjugated by Dieuporteille and the empire at most a hundred years ago, so I imagine that resentment might very well live on between the two peoples.

So all that being said, option B is far more likely. I'd imagine that Dieuporteille might really hate the pagan Khargats yet still tolerate them for the wealth that their traders bring across the Empire* and for the military support and profits that they can offer in war. I'd imagine that our two dignitaries would have that bitter rivalry, mistrust, and general loathing of one another that one would expect, though perhaps they'd keep reasonably good relations with one another out of mutual interests.

*It hasn't really been alluded to in my sheet yet, but Khargat merchant caravans travel throughout the empire and even beyond and have essentially monopolized the spice and slave trades. They also probably have a big stake in the salt and silk trades, so staying on their good side does bring some profit. But then again, profit would also come from being a jerk and just taxing the hell out of any Khargat trade routes that go through your province...

I finished Chugo Bey's sheet, by the way. Now I just have the more daunting task of finishing the Khanate's sheet.
