But guess what? It only starts with introduction of Buddhism into Tibet in 800 AD! However, there were plenty of independent Tibetan kingdoms. I cannot find out what they were like, though, because my book only starts 1000 years later!
    Today's Tibetan things only got widespread popularity because of Dalai Lama and their efforts of rebellion from their Chinese conquerors

    Before the rise of Lhasa under Qi Zhonglong Zhan, all that we got in Tibet are small kingdoms and warlords, spaced with some Semi-Nomadic hordes. The best things that could come in terms of Tibetan faction are very loose confederacy of tribes that not even united in language.

    Plus, before the arrival of Buddhism, Tibet was populated by Nomadic cannibals (according to Han Chinese literatures), so what would you can expect is Voinos like troopers
