Overview[]
The Yakuts[]
The famous folklore scholar G. V. Ksenofontov has compared the once nomadic Sakha people to a branch of an apple tree carried around the world by the wind and finally taking root. The Sakha, or Yakut, people are the descendants of Turkic nomads and originated in the region around Lake Baikal in what is now Russia. But in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries Mongols arrived from the south, along with other peoples, and the Sakha moved north and east, settling eventually in the basin of the river Lena, later called Yakutia.
Tygyn Darkhan[]
Tygyn Darkhan was a legendary Yakut hero and the subject of many tales, a chief of the Kangalas ulus (clan), the king of the Yakuts. According to Yakut legend, Tygyn was a descendant of Badzhei, who was also known in Yakut legends in the 19th-20th centuries as "Doidusa Darkhan" or "Tyusyulge Darkhaan". Tyusyulge had two sons, Munn'an Darkhan and Mold'ogor, and Munn'an Darkhan had two sons of his own, Tygyn and Usun Oyuun.
Tygyn was renowned for his tall height in Yakut legends. When Tygyn succeeded his father Tyusyulge as Toyon-usa (Chief King), he unified the other Yakut clans into a single nation and became a wealthy landowner who lived around Lake Saysara. However, when his armies faced the newly-arrived Russians in 1628, they were defeated by the latter's firearms, and the Russian army captured Tygyn and held him as a prisoner. After suffering from a poor skin condition, he died in prison in 1632.
Dawn of Man[]
"Hail great king Tygyn Darkhan, hero of the Yakuts. Yours are a strong-willed and free peoples. Pushed from their homeland by the rising power of the Mongols, the Yakut clans would come to master the great wildernesses of Yakutia. Their great skill in metallurgy and horsemanship, and their resistance in the face of encroaching Russian imperialism, remains today a testimony to their great resilience at the harsh frontiers of the earth.
