Join the roomSholoi Setsen Khan was the first Setsen Khan of the Khalkha Mongols and the founder of the Setsen Khan line, which ruled the Setsen Khanate of eastern Khalkha. He belonged to the Borjigin lineage descending from Dayan Khan through Gersenji Khongtaiji. His elevation as Setsen Khan is generally placed to the weakening of Ligdan Khan's power around 1630, and was connected both with internal eastern Khalkha politics, as well as the movement of Southern Mongol groups away from Ligdan Khan's authority.
