Sometimes it is an ancestor, sometimes it is even someone they knew, sometimes it is the spirit of a shaman or a lord or even a great historical figure. Everyone is watched over by a Sülde. As a child it was discovered that Bataar’s Sülde was a great and powerful one; something that was seen as a sign that he would do great things in life. It was decided that he would train as a shaman, to learn to harness the power of his Sülde and use it to protect his people, to learn and preserve their traditions and to prepare for whatever life had in store for him. When the call came from the Patch Tribe for shamans to help deal with a great evil, he was ready to answer it. Guardian Spirit: The Khan; a former leader of Bataar’s clan from several hundred years past, before the Mongols could even claim to have an empire. A man of great renown and strength. Medium: Lightning-struck drum; made from wood taken from a tree that was struck by lightning and with skin made from a horse’s skin. An important artefact in Mongolian Shamanism, the drum is said to represent the mount that carries the spirit to the shaman when invoked. Oversoul: Bataar’s oversoul takes on the form of a giant drum held against his side; when it is summoned ethereal storm clouds float around Bataar and the drum.
