Most of the sultan histories that the player will learn about during the course of the game are of the "gospel" variety. However, in the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}, the player can also discover tomb inscriptions that recount the same events in each sultan's history. Each event in the sultan histories will have both a gospel account and a corresponding tomb inscription. Tomb inscriptions typically use a different tone to describe the event. For example, the tomb inscriptions often appear to elevate praise for the sultan to a higher or more miraculous level than the corresponding gospel account, and sometimes omit certain shortcomings or moral problems with the sultan's behavior. A tomb inscription can also sometimes vary slightly in the specific details recounted in the event. | Most of the sultan histories that the player will learn about during the course of the game are of the "gospel" variety.

The sultanate is divided into "Early" and "Late" periods, which have different sets of phrases that can appear in the histories. The first two sultans are early, the third sultan uses a 50:50 mix of early and late, and the fourth and fifth sultans are late. The following table shows the differences between the two; shared entries are not included. | |||
