They wear the fancy outfits. Put on the fancy hats. Look really good in ceremonies, and perhaps serve as a slight check against those who would plot against the monarch, but in the end are nothing more than a speed bump on the route toward revolution or usurpation. In that regard, the Sultan Sworn seem par for the course.
The Au Ra roll out seems ridiculously anti-climactic. She's a midlander with horns, not so different than a Padjal. If she just told us that some Hyur from Doma looked that way no one would have blinked—why the mask?

I'd rather see the MSQ as a series of cut scenes or text that didn't involve the player, and didn't require a series of quests to complete in game (in order to access current content).
The MSQ itself is, to me, the very greatest failing of this game. I like the lore tidbits that it unveils, and that's about it, otherwise I only complete it because its strictly required.Â
Since this part of the MSQ is so dramatic, I am actually looking forward to it at least
