To discuss what the word itself means? I'm confused here.
The latest quests leave me with this 'Illuminati' vibe though. Have to be careful not to fall into that line of thinking. Captain Phillis may be one of the <spoiler>, but that is a separate position from being Sultansworn. She merely used her powers as an officer to further her own goals.
This at least shows us that they are still just people. We can all relax a little more in our own RP plots where the Sworn are involved. Just don't expect Crofte to be any less Paladin-y than before!
I think what Kage/myself were getting at is that the immense bill of power involved in those decrees and investigations -- namely, declaring someone enemy of the state, ordering of searches and detainment, etc -- come as a result of the Sultanate being in danger. If this was a 'Sworn watching a cutpurse rob someone in an alleyway, I'm not sure the same sort of action would be involved.
I think of it similarly to the movie scene where the cops have a crime scene locked down, and then the Suits show up and take it over. Sultanate involved, i.e. direct threat to Ul'dah or the Sultana herself? Yeah, 'Sworn lead the way. Not that scope? Call a Blade or a Flame.
