Being trained by Jenlyns does not automatically induct you into the ranks of the Sultansworn. He says so in one of his dialogues I believe.(06-03-2014, 11:28 AM)Coatleque Wrote: I'd be interested in this. Â Coatleque usually stands around the city in armor, IC-ly on duty.

The game makes it clear that Free Paladins are for all intents and purposes Sultansworn, but there is a difference between the PC role and the job title as it existed before you complete the job quest.
Sultansworns swear their fealty to the Sultana, whereas Free Paladins are free to roam all the lands, serving all the people of the realm.
The Immortal Flames as an LS was set up for the law enforcement entities that exist in Ul'Dah. Erik was discussing this with me when he was setting it up with the leaders of the Yataghans (one of the Immortal Flame divisions). It was meant for those who serve as Sultansworns, Immortal Flame, and Brass Blades. Those who initially received pearls had official IC affiliations with either of these three organizations, but I don't see why Free Paladins trained under Jenlyns with loyalties to Ul'Dah would not receive one either if they too want to serve.
I just wanted to throw that clarification in there.
