Sultans were people in power during 1 of 5 periods before a game has started. Upon the start of the game, 5 are randomly generated, each one based on one element. The last sultan, Resheph, as well as his historic events will always remain the same through all playthroughs.

The player will learn about these sultans by looking at sultan statues, as well as painted or engraved items. These secrets are noted in the journal, which can be traded to factions that despise or like that sultan. In Joppa, there is a guaranteed Resheph statue in the upper right corner and a randomly generated sultan in the northern graveyard that will point to their historic site.

Effect on Current Day

During a sultan's life, they will experience several events, some that have important effects on the current world. Sultans may craft or lose a prized relic, which can be randomly found throughout Qud. A sultan can also be favored or disliked by factions. Factions that like the sultan will often be the most common type of creatures residing in the sultan cult's historic site.
