When the Clan requires military action above the small scale skirmishes that are [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]], the [[Clan Council]] becomes a ''kurultai'' (War Council) and it elects from within a council member to become a Khan.  The Khan (though having much more influence) can't interfere with Clan laws/society; that is still in the hands of the Council.  He/she is, however, commander of the entire Clan's military assets, including the ''[[touman]]'', and becomes the top of the military hierarchy that doesn’t exist without a Khan.

The first act of the Khan is to select a [[saKhan]] (junior Khan) from amongst the Clan Council members.  The saKhan’s duties aren’t specifically defined.  He/she is the second in command, performing any duties the Khan requires (like bidding or leading a campaign) but can’t do him/herself and enjoys a heightened status within Clan society.  The official term for the senior Khan of a clan is kaKhan, though this is rarely used (Khan with no prefix usually means the senior Khan).
