The Blood Sultanate in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
Donut puts on the Crown of the Sepsis Whore in ch. 7 and Carl reads the price: a permanent place in the royal line of the Blood Sultanate on the ninth floor, bound there until every other member is dead, including the Sultan. It gives her attacks a 15% chance of Sepsis. Carl names it as the only thing before the Rev-Up moonshine that clues them in about the deeper floors (ch. 32). The Maestro, a Skull Clan prince, laughs at it: the Sultanate is almost always first of the nine factions eliminated, 'You idiots have been dead since the moment she put on that crown' (ch. 43). Donut heard Mordecai say Carl could leave her over it (ch. 44).
