What happens
Ever since Murad Hudavendigar's conquest of Edirne in 1362, our Sultans have formally claimed the title of Caliph, the leader of the Ummah. Now that we have firm control over Kahire, however, we have managed to summon the last Abbasid Caliph, Al-Mutawakkil III, to Konstantiniyye to formally surrender the title of Caliph to Sultan our ruler, giving him the sword and mantle of Muhammad. Not only is this a great position for our Sultan domestically, but it additionally affords him authority over all Muslims outside our borders, giving us greater opportunity to protect those unlucky enough to be ruled over by non-Muslims.\nThe question remains though what religious and spiritual path our Caliphate shall take. The ways of Legalism and Sufism are both present in our government, yet only one of them can be pursued on a governmental level.
