After the fall of the mighty Göktürk Empires in Asia, many Turkic tribes fled westward as a new era of oppression dawned in Mongolia. But as no state, no dynasty had the power to once again unite all peoples of the steppe, many new smaller Turkic states emerged. While the Khazars established their rule on the Caucasus, Volga River and Ukraine, the Türk Shahi ruled over Afghanistan and the Tokhara Yabgus over Bactria. Confronted by the roaming Kipchaks to the north and the Muslim Karakhanids and Arabs to the East and South respectively, 24 Turkish families founded their own state which we know today as the Oghuz Yabgu State. These Turks were different from their Turkic kin as they stayed true to themselves, continuing their adherence of Tengri, respecting the old Turkic set of laws known as Töre. However, it was precisely this confederation of Turkish tribes that would later create some of the most powerful empires in world history - notwithstanding but including the Seljuk Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
The time has come to finally explain the Rise, Fall and Legacy of the Oghuz Turks.
