According to Andras Rona-Tas the locality in which the Hungarians, the Manicha-Er group, emerged was between the Volga river and the Ural Mountains. Between the 8th and 5th centuries BC, the Magyars embarked upon their independent existence and the early period of the proto-Hungarian language began.

Around 830 AD, when Almos was about 10 years old, the seven related tribes, namely Jeno, Ker, Keszi, Kurt-Gyarmat, Megyer Nyek and Tarjan formed a confederation in Etelkoez, called Hetmagyar ( Seven Magyars ). Their leaders, the Seven chieftains of the Magyars, besides Almos, included Elod, Ond, Kond, Tas, Huba and Toehoetoem, who took a blood oath, swearing eternal loyalty to Almos…

In a simple context, therefore, we have a long Magyar history and a deep well of tales and lore from which to draw.
