The niece of Kublai Khan, Khutulun promised to marry any man that could best her in a wrestling challenge. Each challenger had to make a bet of one hundred horses on the outcome of the match. If the challenger won, Khutulun would marry him. If not, the horses were hers to keep. She was never beaten, remained unmarried and amassed over ten thousand horses from hapless suitors. She didn’t think it was too many.

Khutulun’s gutal boots root her to the earth, while the holy mountain, Burqan-Qaldun, is a metaphor for her unconquerable spirit. Whether or not Khutulun’s opponent in the Anachronism(™) arena intends to marry her, they had better bring one hundred horses with them and had better expect to lose them.
