The young Temujin was hidden away until about the age of 17 when he befriended some other local youths and organized in secret to take back his heritage and title. The nomadic tribes had a warring disposition and so Temujin continued in that vein repeatedly making each tribe he conqured submit fresh troops to expand his armies which offered relief to the older guard.
