Are you prepared to run it? Yes, as long as it is during the summer when I'm not in school. (Generally mid-June-Oct. 1)
Suggested books, if you have them already:
YA, Book of a Thousand Days, retelling of a fairy tale with nomads. There is a graphic novel retelling of The Secret History of the Mongols which I could track down, and other materials. I don't recommend the recent novelization of the Secret History; I tried to read it and it was absolutely awful. Better off reading the prose translation by Paul Kahn.
This area encompasses Mongolia, Afganistan, the ancient kingdoms of Sogdiana, Bactria, The Uighur lands, Persia/Iran, and so on. I can come up with a much firmer geographical area if people are interested. I will also happily hunt up more books, when/if the time comes.
