man i wish more fantasy had & dealt with steppe folks. the game of thrones version sucked, Elder Scrolls has none, Lord of the Rings only has them obliquely mentioned
Ashlanders in Morrowind are closest you can get in games, having similar aesthetics, though with differences because Vvardenfell. In lore, Bjoulsae Breton tribes are horse nomads. And of course Alik'r though those are Bedouins rather than Mongols. Also there are some on Yokuda i think.
All playable in Elder Kings and EK2 mods for Crusader Kings 2 and 3, though idk how many custom mechanics they have, probably way more in CK2 version since that one had nomad DLC while in CK3 nomads are barebons tribals while the game currently is due for huge DLC byzaboos appeasment.
And when they do, it would be nice if they had more going on than being the "Nongols" and actually showcased the depth and breadth of steppe cultures instead of treating them all like Ghengis Khan.

i think the Ashlanders are nearer Bedouin too, desert nomadism is similar economically but don't scratch the same itch for big horse-archer society
