I've always had a certain interest in Mongolian culture, so seeing it reflected at the steppe was neat, since it's not one of the ones that's particularly common in video games.

As a fun fact, the Naadam is a real thing in Mongolia, though it's a yearly sports festival including wrestling, archery, and horse riding (Free-for-all mortal combat wouldn't really slide in modern times)

One of the Mol also mentions the Tsaagan Har, which is the Mongolian lunar new year's celebration. It's a time for family reunions, repaying debts to one another, and overall promoting a more friendly, communal spirit, which is why he expresses some fear of them being attacked when it's over.
