Yurt of the Khan: BC Hotseat IC thread

[phonicsmonkey]

The Great Khan's Grand Yurt (or ger in Mongolian) is a large portable felt tent built around a wooden frame and drawn by oxen. It travels with the Mongol armies as they campaign, providing living quarters, a mobile command centre and Royal Court all in one.

After the execution of his emissaries by the governor of Samarqand, the Great Khan received a delegation of diplomats sent by the Grand Alliance of Caliphate, Seljuk,Ghaznavid, Mamluk and Rajput leaders, their mission to placate the Khan and turn him from his course of war.

The Great Khan ordered the diplomats held captive and they are now assembled in his Grand Yurt, where they are allowed to converse freely with their captors and one another, and to give and receive messages from the outside world.
