The Kurultai is where major decisions are made, though politics happen everywhere. There is a serious shortage of clerks among the Mongols due to them not prioritizing reading and writing. Most literature is controlled by Tolui's faction. The Khagan and their family are protected by the Khesig, imperial bodyguards who serve in three day rotations. These elite warriors include cooks, archers, parasol bearers, and scribes. Positions are typically given to noble sons and serve as elite training. Members are well paid, and any slave who enters the Khesig is immediately freed. The Khagan also has a chief retainer who monitors factions among the imperial consorts. Mongols revere the heavens and fear thunder, calling it the heavens crying out. Airag is socially acceptable and expected, even from age 18.
