Sultan

The Sultan was the ruler of the city of Medinat al-Salaam. He was the head of a benevolent family on nobles who lived in a grand palace carved from the earth itself. All of this changed sometime around the 9th century IC, when the Caliph manipulated the young Prince into killing his father. Most of the Sultan's familed resigned their post, and a new Sultan was appointed under the Caliph's recommendation. Since then, the Caliph has been the true ruler of the city, with the Sultan as a figurehead.|1]
