Sultanates

Sultanates are smaller kingdoms. Sedmon appoints a Sultan from the ruling class of the secondary kingdom to rule the area in his place. The Grand Vizer serves as an intermediary between the Sultans and the Emperor. Sultans report on their dealings to the Grand Vizer, and he relays those reports to Sedmon. Pashas are rulers of large cities within Sultanates away from Tre'Volos. Pashas have to report to the Sultan of the Sultanate that they are within about their dealings. Marquis are noble lords who have been appointed to rule over smaller kingdoms within Midluachaer by Sedmon. Lords have a smaller area to control, and Barons have an even smaller area. Knights serve the various Barons, Lords, and/or Marquis, but owe their loyalty and allegiance to Sedmon. Knights are working to become Barons, Lords, or even Marquis themselves. Marquis are approximately equivalent to a Sultan, Lords are approximately equivalent to a Pasha, and Barons are approximately equivalent to a Boroughmeister, although Barons control more land. A Sultanate is quite a large piece of land, and has a fairly large population. Most Sultanates have a keep or small castle that serves as the regional capital.
