Aurangzeb Daniyal Erdenechuluun al-Osman, in Lontinien mononymously known as Erdenechuluun, is a Lontinian politician. The son of Daniyal al-Osman and Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal, he was born into a political powerhouse and was soon groomed into political service. Chairman of the Executive Council of Lontinien since 1734, with the position renamed as that of Prime Minister in 1749 AN.

Early life and education

Academician of the School of the Trivium at the Benacian Academy (1726-1730). Pleasing for his supervisors was the bare minimum level of interventions required to ensure that he achieved the requisite pass marks during his tour of the various chambers and antechambers of the school, this sometimes being an onerous burden when it came to making sure that scions of the House of Osman departed from the Academy with their credentials suitably burnished.

Political career

Ascending to the Chairmanship of the Executive Council in 1734 AN upon the retirement of his mother, Aurangzeb oversaw a period of administrative consolidation in Lontinien. The title's redesignation to Prime Minister in 1749 AN reflected evolving constitutional norms within the Order of the Holy Lakes.

The Winter Storm of 1749 and the formation of the Barlas-Osman Marital Community

In the harsh winter of 1749 AN, while traveling near the ill-defined borders between Lontinien and Transprinitica, Prime Minister Erdenechuluun and his companion were caught in a severe blizzard. Forced to abandon their mechanically unreliable Panteleimon 4x4, they sought refuge with a herdsman of the Barlas clan from the Qyzyl tribe. The practical-minded herdsman instructed his unwed son and two daughters to share their beds with the stranded travellers to provide warmth through the night. Under the furs, Erdenechuluun attained intimate knowledge of his companions and was greatly pleased with them, as he found their conversation as convivial as their warmth was essential.

Rescued the following morning, Erdenechuluun expressed his profound gratitude by verifying the particulars of the three siblings and incorporating them into his personal retinue.

The herdsman was left with generous compensation in livestock and coin, far exceeding the value of mere hospitality.

Upon returning to Ghawlama, Erdenechuluun engaged the services of an imperial notary to formalise a marital community with the trio: Batbayar (the herdsman's son, who later became captain of the Prime Minister's personal guard), Altantsetseg (keeper of the inner treasury), and Narantuya (mistress of the robes).

This union, solemnised in early 1750 AN, blended the nomadic traditions of the steppe clans with the bureaucratic protocols of Lontinen governance.The Prime Minister's munificence toward the Barlas herdsman, coupled with his stature as Tarkhan of Ghawlama, sparked an unforeseen wave of emulation among the nobility. Clans of the Qyzyl and the Silver Yak Horde dispatched their most favoured unwed youths to the capital, petitioning inclusion in the burgeoning marital community in hopes of forging alliances and securing favour.

To maintain fiscal prudence amid the influx of delegations, each bearing lavish gifts of mares, falcons, silver ingots, and genealogical scrolls, Erdenechuluun decreed that the Barlas-Osman union would not expand beyond forty souls. In a public audience at the Darbar Palace, he selected the final seven members from dozens of supplicants, prioritising utility, lineage, and echoes of the original night's survival: a budding scholar versed in Jing and Çakeri scripts; a huntress marked by a wolf-trap scar; and a distant kinsman of Batbayar, commended for his steadfast hearth-tending during blizzards.

The completed community, sealed with cinnabar and the jade stamp of the Osman line, symbolised a microcosm of steppe solidarity under Lontinen rule. It has since served as a model for pragmatic polygamous arrangements among the regional elite, though not without whispers of envy from those clans left at the gates.

Personal life

The Barlas-Osman marital community remains the cornerstone of Erdenechuluun's household in Ghawlama. No issue has yet been recorded from the union, though the Prime Minister's inner circle –now numbering forty – advises on matters ranging from treasury ledgers to border patrols.
