correct men if I am wrong but the Darkhad, in Turkic languages, means people with sacred duty. According to legend, the Darkhad are a group of warriors who were hand picked by the golden family to guard the areas supposed to be the burial grounds of Genghis Khan, and wore a blue scarf as symbol. many groups in the steppe today, like the Altai Tuvans(who reside in today's Xinjiang province of China) claim to be the descendants of the Darkhad.

But little record of them exists, and many historians even doubt the Darkhads existed at all. 
 
Do you know where there is more information on these Darkhad?

Oh, and Black Darkhad have been completely transformed since Delta, but I'd like to know more about them.

okay I was a bit wrong on the Darkhad. there are Darkhad tribe in today's mongolia. The Black Darkhads are the soldiers of the warrior Lama Jatsumdamba Khutuku(Mongolian Dalai Lama) who fought against Russians in contemporary times

Today, in Inner Mongolia, there's a tribe who claim to be guardians of genghis Khan's tomb 达尔扈特/Darkhads

if you understand Chinese, there's a documentary about Altai Tuvans and it briefly mentions Darkhads:

I don't want to ask you for favors that mess you up or put you on some binding or anything Cheng, but would you be able to cook up some sort of storyline background, mixed and spiced up by actual historical occurrences.  Having a storyline puts me in a more solid working area, it's like I'm doing things that come from somewhere not fall off the sky. :smile:
