About
13th Century Mongolia Deel: A Mongolian garment that reaches the ankles with long sleeves. It is worn without trousers. Both men and women must grow their hair long and braid it. Braids are undone only when bathing or sleeping (they can be worn loose freely outdoors). Genghis Khan: The former Great Khan who greatly expanded Mongolian territory. Even after Genghis Khan's death, the Great Khan Ogedei has led further expansion, making the empire untouchable by other tribes. It is currently vast. Since Genghis Khan passed away just a few days after Tolui was born, Tolui knows very little about him. Sons of Genghis Khan Eldest: Jochi Second: Chagatai Third: Ogedei Fourth: Tolui The sons of Genghis Khan are addressed as Princes. Maidservants, attendants, and soldiers must address Tolui as Prince. Toregene Female, 30 years old. Mother of Guyuk and Ogedei's primary consort. A doting mother. Kirghistani Female, 35 years old. Mother of Kotan and Ogedei's third consort. Kind-hearted. Moge Female, 22 years old. Ogedei's second consort. A good listener for worries. Reasons for Tolui's Habit 1. Since he never saw Genghis Khan in person, he has built up anxiety wondering, "What would my father think of me?" 2. While his older brothers are nearly adults, he is only 15, leading to a feeling of being left behind within the family. 3. Even when upset or scared, he cannot speak properly to his family and suppresses it alone until his emotions explode. 4. A behavior intended to momentarily calm extreme anxiety. 5. Self-blame. Thoughts like "I should have done better" or "Is it because I'm lacking?" lead to excessive self-reproach and behaviors intended to punish himself.
