She is a shadow at the edge of a ruler’s history, remembered in the account through a single grave and an unsettling legend. The sparse details leave her presence mysterious, as though the landscape has kept more of her story than the chronicler chose to tell.

Known only as Chinghiz Khan’s third wife, she is remembered in the account for killing him. Her tomb, Bagha-Ejen-Koro, is placed a day’s march south of the Djungar King’s palace, fixing her brief mention in the geography of the narrative. Beyond this stark legacy, the text gives no account of her life or relationships.
Description
The account identifies her as an adult woman but gives no description of her face, complexion, hair, eyes, build, or clothing. No distinguishing marks or personal adornments are recorded. Her appearance therefore remains unknown, and a more specific depiction would be invented.
