The Sultanate

of the Iron Wall

When the Infidels opened the thrice- cursed Gate to Jahannam, releasing Gog and Magog upon those who believe, it seemed that all was lost and Shaytan would emerge victorious over Dunya. But the Creator of the Universe came to the aid of the Faithful, and as had been written, the great Iron Wall of Dhu al-Qarnayn manifested itself in the lands ruled by the Sultan of Rûm. A call was sent to those who believe righteously and, over the coming decades, the migration of the Faithful took place across Europa, Asia and Africa. Millions perished on the road and at sea, for the Heretics and their Shaytan lords swarmed them as locusts swarm fields of ripe sesame, devouring them and building vile monuments from their limbs and heads, so they could not be buried as is decreed in the Holy texts. But once all those who survived the journey had come, the mighty Gates of al-Qarnayn were closed and the Great Sultanate of the Invincible Iron Wall of the Two Horns That Pierce the Sky was formed.

Beyond the Invincible Iron Wall of Al-Quraysh lies the last and the greatest Sultanate of the Faithful the world has ever seen. Here the lost knowledge flourishes and, from mosques of white marble and gold, the muezzin call the faithful to pray for the success of the Sultan’s army as it struggles to protect the lands within the wall, and defend the caravan trails that provide the Sultanate with vital supplies.

The assaults of the slaves of Jahannam against the Sultanate have never ceased since that day, and each day new martyrs are mourned as they defend the Wall and confront the heretics who have overcome its defences. But within the walls, the lost knowledge flourishes and from mosques of white marble and gold the muezzin call the faithful to pray for the success of the Sultan’s army as it struggles to protect their lands and defend the caravan trails that provide the Sultanate with vital trade goods.

Sultan's Elite and Those Who Believe

Yüzbaşı Captain

1 Yüzbaşı Captain

Military expeditions over the Great Iron Wall into No Man’s Land carry many risks, and their commanders are field officers known as Yüzbaşı. They are expected to lead from the front and their selection is solely on merit, with no consideration given to family pedigree or wealth.

0-1 Jabirean Alchemist

The Jabirean Alchemist is a master of esoteric powers, able to control fire and ice, metal and liquid; capable of creating intricate mechanical devices and artificial life as well as weapons of calamitous potency. In exchange for the freedom to practise their arts, the Alchemists supply the Sultanate with the peerless Jabirean battle lions, and serve on the front lines where their devastating alchemical compounds melt the flesh from the bones of the Unbelievers, or dissolve through even the toughest enemy armour.

Sultanate Assassin

0-1 Sultanate Assassin

Assassins are a legendary order of mystic warriors, whispered about the world over for their secrecy and ruthlessness. Assassins are able to bend space and time using the sacred rituals and powerful hallucinogens discovered by magi of the order. With this esoteric power they prowl behind enemy lines, hunting their targets with merciless efficiency. They can seemingly appear in two places simultaneously, strike a foe with startling speed and then travel back into time to a moment a few heartbeats before, safe from any retaliation.

Azebs

Azebs are soldiers recruited from the multitude of provinces of the sultanate, where every house in twenty is required to equip and provide a warrior to serve the Prince of Those Who Believe. They are often used by their superiors as light skirmishers to harass and tie down the enemies while the heavier troops close in for the kill.

Sultanate Sapper

0-2 Sultanate Sappers

The Sultan’s Sappers are highly respected and valued specialists in the Sultan’s army. They are expected to man the great cannons of the Iron Wall no matter what the enemies throw at them, and since their mighty artillery is prone to overheating, they are easily identified by the terrible burns all over their bodies.

0-2 Lions of Jabir

Named after the deadly hunters of the plains, the Lions of Jabir can take many forms, not all of them leonine. Each one is a unique masterwork, and they are grown according to the skills and artistry of the Jabirean scientist that created them. The speed and ferocity of the Lions is nearly unmatched, and some even have strange powers granted by their alchemical birth.

Lion of Jabir
Janissary

0-1 Janissaries

The janissaries are the Sultanate’s elite warriors, raised from childhood in the arts of war. Captured during raids upon the desolate northern and eastern marches beyond the Iron Wall, they are subjected to rigorous martial training and indoctrination from an early age. On the battlefield, Janissaries excel at devastating counter-charges, crushing the enemy elite formations and acting as the bodyguard for high-ranking individuals

0-1 Brazen Bull

The Brazen Bull is a monstrous being of immense power and vitality, capable of tearing even the bastard child of a devil clean in half. The Sultan’s armourers equip the Bulls with heavy artillery that even the superhuman Janissaries cannot lift, let alone use in battle: flame cannons, volley guns and holy blades blessed by the Word of the Great Protector
