Bumin, the Turkish khagan, dies shortly after his victory over the Rouran and the new Turk empire splits into two halves.

Bumin's son Muhan rules the eastern part, centered on Mongolia; Bumin's brother Istämi rules the western part, centered on in Ektagh, an unidentified place, possibly in either the Ili or Chu river valley.
