I think it took about 1 month (or less I honestly don't remember) for Kage to get to level 50 as a PLD. I took that opportunity to use this as a way for Kage to develop relationships with those he could view as mentors (or in some cases mentors who took on that role quite happily and with great fervor..)
Admittedly, at the time, it had already been in my plan that I wanted to try to use dungeons or trials as a way to sort of... "complete" Kage's journey. (Though it didn't happen in the end but I believe that the end result was for the very best and it served for better story.) That is what I viewed the onset of the Sultansworn trials and I know it's not the same now or was for others.
The trials were to confirm and essentially say Kage proved his worth. As a swordsman and Ul'dahn citizen loyal to the Sultana and the sultanate. That included not only learning the sword and board, but it included needing to learn from people. Learning about himself.
I am pretty sure that neither Roen or Kage really considered themselves Paladins and certainly not Sultansworn before the trials were over.
