> *Pulled from* [[3-Travels-in-Calradia-(DLC)]] — “I found out why the Caldea was so empty when I reached the Aserai-Sultanate frontier. The Aserai-Sultanate sultan, Unqid, had little taste for war, but many of his emirs harbored grudges against the Calradian-Empire dating back to the Calradian occupation of the Nahasa, and sometimes he let them take a slap at the Imperial rump.”
>
> *Pulled from* [[3-heroes-(Bannerlord)]] — “The current Sultan of Aserai is Unqid. He wears his authority lightly, preferring to charm rather than to coerce, always deferring to the laws of the Banu Asera in his judgments. But there are some who say that Unqid is remiss in his duty to administer justice, allowing the wealthiest clans - such as his own - to use bribes and clever legal arguments to oppress the others.”

*Pulled from* [[3-heroes-(Bannerlord)]] — “There was a warrior named Nimr, of the Bani Sarran. He was brave, but arrogant. Of course the young people loved him. He wanted to lead men to fight with the Empire, and though there was no gain for us, Unqid let him. Unqid can be weak sometimes.”
> *Pulled from* [[3-world_lore_strings-(Bannerlord)]] — “The Banu Hulyan have never sought glory or domination. Where some see an enemy, we see only a trading partner who has gone astray. For that reason, we have tried to treat all others with fairness and respect.” — “For that reason, the clans have always brought their quarrels to us, to adjudicate. And it was natural that, when it came time for the Banu Asera to choose a sultan, that we were the ones chosen.” — “But it is wearisome to be a Sultan. The clans cling to their grievances as though they were their children. It is not in men's nature to appreciate the fruits of peace and order. Rather, they brood over small injustices and perceived slights, and dream of shedding blood.” — “Unqid is a wise man. He knows how to keep the peace, to soothe over tensions. But there is only so much he can do. We can overlook an insult, or two. But if we overlook too many, perhaps some people will think that we would also overlook an injury. That would be dangerous.”

> *Pulled from* [[Blog_38_Aserai]] — “Historians have left vivid portraits of the chieftains, kings, and occasional ruling queens of Palmyra, Kinda, Hirah, and other principalities of the deserts. Some were morally complex characters, managing their domains with a mixture of cajoling, threats, bribes, skulduggery, bravery, and shameless nepotism. The Aserai sultan, Unqid, is cut from this mould.”
>
> *Pulled from* [[Blog_83_Ruwa]] — “Please, allow us to introduce our daughter, Ruwa, who as of now is still a babe, but we spared no expense and commissioned the best portraitist in the court of Unqid, the Sultan of Aserai, who believes she will look something a little like this by the age of 10. ”
