== Individual Events == | |||
Each procedurally generated sultan from the first through the fifth period sultanate will have between 10 and 22 events included in their history. Typically the number of events is at the lower end of that range, around 11-14.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.Annals|class=QudHistoryFactory|method=GenerateNewSultan}} | |||
The events in each sultan's history are generated in the following order: | |||
# An origin story, which will either be when the sultan was born as an heir or found as a babe. | |||
#* At this point in their story, they will not yet be an actual sultan of Qud. | |||
# Eight randomly-selected life events, which are each chosen from a pool of 16 possible event types. | |||
#* Several of these event types can result in the destined sultan becoming the actual sultan of Qud. For example, they may challenge the existing sultan of Qud to a duel, assassinate them, lead an army to their gates, or simply be named their successor after the existing sultan dies or abdicates the throne. | |||
#* If one of these events involves the sultan's death, such as by driving a chariot off a cliff or by losing a duel to a challenger, it will be followed immediately by a second event that recounts how the sultan had faked their death or been saved and actually they are fine. They will retain their role as the sultan of Qud if they already had ascended to that position. | |||
# If one of the eight randomly-selected life events has not yet resulted in the destined sultan becoming the actual sultan of Qud, an event with that outcome will be added to the sultan's history. | |||
# If the events thus far have not included one event that takes place at each of the 2-3 [[World_generation#Regions_and_Locations|historic regions]] that were added during world generation for this period of the sultanate, events will be added to ensure that at least one event takes place in each of those regions during the sultan's history. | |||
# Finally, an event relating the sultan's death will be added to their history. | |||
