It’s not Venice, but this polity was administered by a council of slaves called the Corps of Forty until it was destroyed by Balban. (10[1])The Fatāwā-ye Jahāndārī, written in this polity by Ziyā ud-Dīn Baranī, (10[1]-5[1])advocated for its citizens to be sorted into the āshrāf and (10[1])ajlāf classes. In this polity, Khizr Khān rose in status by falsely claiming to be descended from Muḥammad, establishing a dynasty of such sayyids. A rumored romance with an (-5[1])Abyssinian slave led to the overthrow of this polity’s queen Raziā Sultāna.

(10[1]-5[5])This polity’s last (-5[1])dynasty, the Lodīs, was conquered by Bābur and the (10[1])Mughals.
