Kara-Khitan Empire
Kuchlug was welcomed by Zhilugu, the Gur-khan (meaning Universal Khan), ruler of the Kara-Khitans. Once he was accepted into the Kara-Khitan Empire, Kuchlug quickly gained a strong foothold. He found service as an advisor for Gur-khan, and was allowed to marry one of the Gur-khan's daughters, Qûngû. He was later given the title of Khan, and was allowed to reorganized his fellow Naimans into a military unit under his command.
