In the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}, each sultan's tomb is guarded by several cherubim of the factions with whom the sultan had favorable relations during their lifetime. Typically, these factions came to be favored by each sultan by playing an important role in their [[sultan histories]]. The cherubim stand watch over the sultan's {{favilink|imperial sarcophagus|sarcophagus}} and {{favilink|sultan reliquary|reliquary}}. These cherubim will typically be neutral to the player so long as the player character bears the [[Mark of Death]] and does not attack them or attempt to disturb the sultan's possessions. Each cherub gains additional abilities based on their aligned sultan's [[sultan theme|themes]], as noted below. | In the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}, each sultan's tomb is guarded by several cherubim of the factions with whom the sultan had favorable relations during their lifetime.
