Sultan

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Sultan is one of the two highest positions of power in the city of Medinaat al-Salaam. The Sultan interprets what he feels is the will of the people and crafts it into law, which is then enforced by the Caliph.^[1] His position of power is typically hereditary.

[edit] The murdered Sultan

This un-named Sultan was the ruler of the city of Medinat al-Salaam prior to the unabated rule of the undying Caliph. 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 undying Caliph manipulated the young Prince, Hassan, into killing his father. Most of the Sultan's familed resigned their post, and a new Sultan was appointed under the Caliph's recommendation. During the reign of the Undying Caliph the Sultan served only as a figurehead.[1]
