Doyod is a fifteen year old herder boy with tanned brown skin and black hair. He was born in the Tuvan tribe which is located at the north side of lake Buir.
When he was three years old he learned how to ride a horse. And when he was eight years old, he learned how to read from his uncle who is the tribe leader.
At that time when Doyod learned how to ride, many of his tribesmen praised him as a genius. Unfortunately for nomads, books are rare as phoenix feathers. For a long journey, books take a huge load therefore nomads avoid creating many books. Instead they pass their knowledge from father to son verbally. Therefore, learning how to read is not an important skill for the nomads.
For Mongolias, how to ride a horse and how to shoot arrows accurately is the best skill you should attain while you are young. If you are a good archer, if you have your own family then you would have the skill to hunt animals and bring food back.
