What can we draw from this then to enhance our own understanding of the Sultansworn? It looks like most of our assumptions have been correct to date with the following additions:
A) Sultansworn actively recruit. They do not begin training from a young age. Anyone could join so long as they show martial prowess, and bear no hate against the Sultana
B & H) There are ranks. Or at least, there are multiple Captains. We now have another confirmed "Captain" other than Jenlyns, and she referred to herself as a "high-ranking officer" which means we can deduce there is an overall ranking system like the Flames or Blades might have.
D, E, I) The Sultansworn are tasked with the defense of the Sultanate. They have the power to do whatever is necessary to see to that very task. They take on their own investigations without prior approval from the Sultana herself. And just like the FBI or Secret Service, they do not need to share the reasons of doing so with the general public.
C) The Sultansworn are well-funded. It can be assumed, I believe, that they draw directly from the treasury if necessary and may even have private backers from wealthy royalists.
F) The Sultansworn palace guard that you see as NPCs standing around are all wearing the Squire's armor. They can mostly be viewed as new recruits, but are still fully Sultansworn.
G) The Sultansworn have the power to enforce the law. Per the Captain's command she declares someone an enemy of the state AND deploys other Sworn to track this person down.
Finally, Captain Phillice is wearing the full Gallant armor (even moreso than Jenlyns). I think it is safe to say the Paladin AF armor is the official uniform of Sworn who have moved beyond being Squires. And the fact that they are called Squires also lends credence that the Gallants are in fact Knights.

I was expecting none of these treasures today when I played these missions. I was expecting the.... usual? But all you cataloged is correct with the scenes. Guess like you said, many of us were right in how we have been playing. Score 1 for common scene and following patterns, score 0 for "lore dogs" who told us to stay in the palace.
