The Great State of the Tümen, more commonly known by their nickname of Neo-Bayarids was originally a Bayarid Khanate originating in the northwestern sector of the Empire before becoming a functionally separate khanate. It was founded by Olig Kuz, a Bayarid Myriarch serving as the commander of the fortification of the North-Western border. During the collapse of the Empire Olig Kuz, with the help of local vassals or bordering states, established his own Khanate which became known as the "State of the Ten Thousand Warriors". Olig Kuz would continue to solidify his rule, defeating both other Bayarid rivals and oportunistic neighbors. The power of the Tümen peaked during the 13th century, when its territories included a vast stretch of lands from Lake Kulpanitsa in the west to Boika in the east and dominated most of modern Drevstran.
