I'm envisioning a scenario where Abaqa Khan, in the same vain as his relatives within Yuan China, decides to adopt a presitgious title local to the populace of the Ilkhanate to help calm the numerous civil insurrections that faced his early reign.
Thus on the day of his coronation, he is proclaimed Caliph of the newly established Mongol Caliphate, while also converting to Islam in the process.
What are the immediate political effects of this move?
