             When the other leaders of the clan found out about Yesukai's death they were concerned of how the inexperienced Temujin would handle the great leadership.They decided to separate and join other clans.
             Temujin's mother was able to convince a few families to stay with them.
             Before his father died Temujin and his father were visiting a strange warrior and Temujin took a liking to his daughter and asked his father for her hand in marriage. The warrior agreed to the request.
             Temujin knew she was very young but he thought she would grow and mature as she became a woman.
             His father controlled very good lands which were abundant with game and not as cold as other areas during the winter. As soon as word got around that Yesukai had died the Taijudts, who were enemies of the Yakka Mongols, came to conquer Temujin.
             The Taidjuts overran his yurt and clan but Temujin and his family were able to escape. Temujin was captured alone and again escaped. Once he reconnected with his family they began to live alone off small animals and fish.
             He could have gone to his fathers sworn brother Toghrul but he was too proud to come for aid because he thought his empty hands would arouse scorn not fellowship so he continued alone.
