While I don’t want to be a genocidal steppe nomad emperor, I do like the idea of having a horde. English “horde” comes from Turkic-Mongolian orda, for base/headquarters/military camp/royal court. Interesting that the English word has connotations of disorganized swarm and the original means exactly the opposite. FUD projected by European adversaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orda_(organization)
