The way toward our salvation and ascension. The Khan has passed, and I morn his loss. At the same time I don't morn his death. He stopped following the old ways and moved to conform.

## Erlig Khan Seal

The Erlig Khan seal is a old seal created before the formation of Soul society. It was created in a effort to increase the power of a Plus beyond the cap and to focus ones natural Remiyoku into a ability. The seal binds the soul to a spirit animal. The two become bound to one another. This allows them to perform resonance with each other and gives them both the ability to develop a unique ability and to grow stronger. However the down side to this seal is that both souls are forever bond to each other. Their souls are in a quantum entanglement. This means that whatever happens to one also happens to the other.

This is important as it is the reason why the Erlig Seals began to fall out of style after the creation of the Zanpakuto. The seals binding made it that if one of them died then the other. This meant if someone was to kill the beast then the warrior would also die. Or if one killed the warrior the beast would die. This did not bother warriors at first as their beast grew stronger as they grew stronger. If one could slay their beast then they could slay them as well. However the problem came into play when it came to lifespan. A plus can live for a very long time. A spirit beast however, not as long. At max a spirit beast usually lives to be a thousand years old and then dies. This meant that warriors bound to beast had a time limit on how long they can fight and how long they can cultivate their skill. As a result other weapons became popular and the Erlig Khan Seal fell out of favor.

However it was always still popular with the Mongolian souls. As the seal made it easy for them to gain stronger mounts and living to old age was never a desire for their warriors. Even still it presented a problem with passing down techniques and cultivating skills over a thousand years. As a result the Mongolians sought a solution to their problem. Two solutions came as a result. The first was to improve the seal so that when the beast dies the user does not. This idea failed, but worked in the reverse. The beast could survive multiple partners, but the plus seemed to always die.

The second solution was more simple. They simply found more powerful beast. This solution came to the Mongolians when The Khan came into power. The Khan had gained access to Red Hare, the legendary horse of China. The beast, was a demigod, a son of the Horse god. As a result of this Red Hare, would live for thousands and thousands of years. His children also seemed to have this effect. Rather than die after a thousand years the beast have the ability to live as long as plus. Thus The Khan began to breed Red Hare with every horse they could find.

Though study and teaching the Erlig Khan Seal has been updated. If the beast dies the user dies as well. However the user can remove the seal from the beast before it dies, and thus avoid their own death. However that disunion will cause the user to weaken and physically regress. The user also loss access to whatever ability they gained thought the seals.

Having the seal on a spirit beast gives the user a unique ability associated with the beast They can also see thought the beast eyes, hear thought it's ears, and smell thought it's nose.

## Backstory

Holon's story starts with his death. Holon died in service of The Great Khan, Genghis Khan. He came into soul society and joined up with the Mongols in the 25th district. There he was introduced to Soul Archer by The Khan. When Genghis died and came to soul society Holun was one of the many young souls that rushed to join in side and follow him into the afterlife. They sought to rebuild the Mongol empire that ruled the human world in the afterlife. Their plans where crushed, hard. The great Genghis was killed by Watanabe Jouji in direct combat. The rest of the horde was killed of by Yoshitsune Ashikaga.

Holon would have died at the hands of Jouji, but he was spared by Yoshitsune. Yoshitsune thought it would be funny to have a Mongolian around so he took Holon prisoner. He then conscripted him into his personal service. Holon then served as a vassal of the Ashikaga for a time. Under Yoshitsune he gained knowledge and perspective. He began to gain true power for the first time, and with Yoshitsune's blessing he left and started his own mercenary band. Gathering souls from his kin in the Natsu no nohara. Using the Erlig Khan Seal, they where able to gain power by binding their souls to beast.

Despite serving under Yoshitsune for a hundred years Holon was still bitter about the death of his king. However his anger toward Yoshitsune had died down, but he still did not forgive the Mongols who sided with the Soul Society, mainly The Khan. The Khan pushed for their people to adapt Japanese names and to conform to Soul Society instead of holding their social identity. This angered many of the Traditional Mongolians who lived in Natsu no nohara. A split began to form in their culture. It was at this time that Holon was released from Yoshitsune's service, and returned to his people. Taking the ones who wanted nothing of this "Blending", they performed the traditional Erlig Khan Seal and left Soul Society with Holon to become mercenaries.

Originally The Khan was not going to allow it, and gathered a horde to confront them. Holon however road out and challenged The Khan to a battle. The Battle ended in a draw. Holon was stronger, for all to sea, but The Khan had Red Hair. As a result he was faster and stronger. Holon however was more skilled and had tactics. In the end neither of them could kill the other, and a deal was struck. As long as The Khan lived Holon and his band could not return to Natsu no nohara. The two groups parted ways.

Holon followed in the foot steps of his ancestors and headed west. There in the West he and his people became mercenaries selling their services to the highest bidder. They fought in battles against barbarians and even encounters against giants. Their greatest honor was in the battle for The Soviet Society. The Western Horde fought on the side of the soviets and died in numbers. After the formation of the Soviet Society the Western Horde split in half. Holon wanted to continue their mercenaries ways, but his son wanted to join up with the soviets. The split weakened his already weakened force. Half of the horde went with his son, and the other half stayed with him.

By joining Soviet society they gave up their heritage and assimilated like their eastern brothers. As a result Holon and the half that went with them no longer considered them to be Mongols, but rather soviets. The weakened Western Horde later took up arms in The Marchen Suppression. They supplemented troops for the West in the war, and suffered greatly for it. The already weakened horde was decimated by the war, leaving only ten of them alive. Those ten turned back East. Holon aimed to gain more members for his horde by recruiting in Natsu no nohara. Bound by blood oath to not return he hired Zaraki Ninjas to deliver his recruitment letters to the Mongol's of the area.

He expected to find recruits, but instead he found The Khan. The Khan himself had gotten word of his return and his base in the 26th district. As a result he came himself to parley with Holon. The Khan dissolved the oath, and welcome Holon back in as family. The Recent events in soul society had him worried and he wanted men of skill to train their people. Holon accepted as it dissolved his oath. He joined up with the Noyon and was later pushed to Clan leader. At first it seemed like things where just going well. However The Khan, realizing that Holon had far out grown him in power, had welcomed him as a trap. By taking the position in the Noyon he could not challenge The Khan for his position.

This all changed however when The Khan was killed. with him dead it left a opening. One Holon could exploit. Daisuke, heir to The Khan, was not The Khan real son. He was adopted and taken in as such. Thus he was not a true Mongol and thus Holon's vow was not binding toward him. Thus Holon could challenge him for the position of Khan.
