YOU are Argat, son of Kuchar, First Jagun Commander in Kundek Noyan’s minghaan . You are also engaged to Chelu, daughter of Cirina and a fine mare among centaurs. Today is your wedding day, which means that you have to put up with all sorts of honor rituals that universally involve putting you down while testing your character. It’s tiresome and rather stressful, but at the end of the day, you and Chelu marry, and, at night, retire to your new ger in intimate privacy.
