Another inspiration for the Great Horde might be the Oghuz Confederacy, due to the fact that the Khuzaits fled from the Great Horde westwards towards the lands east of the Empire lands, similar to how the Seljuks fled from the Oghuz Confederacy westwards and began forming their own empire in the lands of modern day Iran and Turkey.The plains, forests, steppes, and rivers of Eastern Europe saw numerous conflicts during the 17th Century.This happened with the Pannonian Avars (though their origins are unknown currently) who settled in what is modern day Hungary and Romania and the Bolgars who settled in what is today modern Bulgaria.
However, considering it pushed the Khuzaits to the west, the Great Horde may instead be inspired by either the Rouran Khaganate or the Göktürk Khaganate, as their large empires have pushed many nomadic tribes westwards to get away from them and seek greener pastures and new lands to settle.
The Khergits then took over land that was at that time held by the Vaegirs. In 1257 a hero named Baheshtur stated that during his grandfather's days the Khergits resided beyond the mountains in the east of Calradia but they were forced to move towards the west when their homeland was taken over by the Great Horde. They annihilated a force of empire legions and took over trading cities forming into the Khuzait Khanate. Clans nearest to the Calradic Empire didn't want to get crushed between the empire and the fleeing tribes further from the east began to form a confederacy under Urkhun the Khuzait.
Two generations before 1084 something happened far away to the east that pushed new tribes westward towards Calradia. The Great Horde is a yet to be seen faction mentioned in lore residing somewhere east of Calradia.
