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 '''Sultans''' were six rulers who were in power during, and relevant to, Qud's history. Five of the six are randomly generated at the beginning of the game, each one associated with a specific element. The sixth and final sultan, [[Resheph]], as well as the historic events associated with him, is fixed.


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.
There are statues scattered throughout Qud, as well as [[painted]] and [[engraved]] items, through which one may learn the history of the Sultans. When the player views these [[Secrets|secrets]], they are noted in the journal and can then be sold to notable members of the factions that admire or despise that Sultan.

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 cults|sultan cult's]] [[historic site]].

==Locations of Sultan Secrets==
In {{favilink|Joppa}}, there are two statues depicting Sultan lore: the one in the northeast corner of Joppa proper is of [[Resheph]], and the one in the northern outskirts is of a random Sultan and points to a historic site associated with that Sultan.
 
== Faction Relationships ==
The following is an example of a piece of lore that indicates that both flowers and vines are among Yyram's hated factions:
{{qud quote|Throughout 4304 BR, Yyram V plundered all of Tuzor, rolling dice to determine which ones to destroy from the homes of flowers and vines. He became known as the Sorrow of Tuzor.}}
