Hansca

Hansca is the game's name for the Golden Horde's western steppe frontier around Orhei and Chișinău, between the Prut and the Dniester, where the garrison town of Shehr al-Jedid stood at Old Orhei. After the Horde's decline in the 1340s the district passed to Moldavia, and Chișinău is first documented in 1436 as a monastery village.
