By the Darkhad elders, they (the Darkhad) are the descendants of the 500 households who were called up from almost all tribes of the 400,000 blue Mongols in the Horse year of Khubilai Sechin Khan to guard the ordons.
Darkhad is not a name of a Mongol tribe, the 500 families were from various tribes, such as Kherid (a tribe lived in Midwest of Khalkha), Shiranod (said to be from the Altai mountain) and Oirad (western Mongols, lived in the area of Dzungar).
Darkhad were people who were subjected to be in the mourning for the Khan's death forever by the decree of the Khubilai Khan, so they should not take any official positions, should not be in any other mourning and also were exempt from any taxation and official duties.
