White Huns/Black Huns

[DarkCloud]

These were two, (not so distinct) tribes... However there WAS a difference

The White Huns invaded India... Whereas the Black Huns (led by Attila) invaded Europe

White Huns: Led by Bleda, Rugila's brother. Went south from the Black Sea. Conquered the Parthians/Persians.
