After the fall of the Liao dynasty in 1125, the Khamag Mongols began to play an important role on the Mongolian plains.Histoire de la Mongolie By László Lőrincz, p. 43. They occupied one of the most fertile lands of the country, the basins of the river Onon, Kherlen and Tuul Rivers in the Khentii Mountains.
