Sultan cults are factions that worship a particular sultan from the currently playthrough. There will always be five procedurally generated sultan cults, each corresponding to one of the procedurally generated sultans of periods 1-5 in the history that was determined as part of [[world generation]]. Sultan cults are always hostile toward the player and all other creatures who are not part of their faction. | Sultan cults are factions that worship a particular sultan from the currently playthrough.

The members of the sultan cult will be chosen from the sultan's favored factions, which are the factions with whom the sultan had positive relations with in the significant events of their life.

The members of the sultan cult will be chosen from among creatures of the sultan's favored factions, which are the factions with whom the sultan had positive relations with in the significant events of their life. Generally, most sultans will have three or more favored factions. For example, this snippet of sultan lore indicates that [[crabs]] are one of sultan Oroleseh II's favored factions: | |||

Sultans can have favorable relations with practically any faction (even [[:Category:Villagers_of_Joppa_(faction)|Joppa]] or [[:Category:Newly_sentient_beings_(faction)|newly sentient beings]], for example), and thus there is a great amount of variety in the possibilities for creatures that compose a sultan cult. For example, if a sultan was favored by unshelled reptiles and flowers, a cult could be composed of formidable creatures, such a {{favilink|rimewyk|plural}} and {{favilink|feral lah}}. On the other hand, if a sultan was favored by [[fish]] and [[fungi]], a far less threatening cult composed of {{favilink|glowfish}} and {{favilink|gel weep|weeps}} may compose the primary cult members. | |||
The specific members chosen to represent the sultan cult will generally be chosen from among creatures appropriate to the [[zone tier]] of the current location. For this reason, you might notice that the same cult has different (weaker or strong) creatures that compose it in different locations in the world. This can also sometimes result in no creatures of a certain faction appearing if the zone tier is too low and there are no appropriate creatures from the faction for that tier. | |||
