Cultural Adaptation Notes

• Replace Spanish clinical references with Mongolian medical/biotech elements: camel/horses/hide proteins, nomadic silk trading history.
• Integrate Mongolian rituals subtly: offerings (süüleg), respect for khadag (ceremonial scarf), references to the Eternal Blue Sky (Tenger) in visuals and dialogue.
• Language: Mongolian and occasional Russian phrases; avoid overexplaining—use visual storytelling.
• Political backstory: 1990s post-Soviet turmoil and trafficking networks provide plausible causes for displacement and criminal rings.
