This is simply a chart that shows how each organization interacts with the others when martial force is necessary. Â In other words, it is saying the Flame General is not the General of the Sworn. Â He only directly commands the Immortal Flames, but can ask the Sworn for assistance.
The Sultana is not in the chart because she was not involved in the discussion that led to its creation.
{edit} Ul'dahn royal family, not families. Â It in no way infers anyone other than the house of Ul
But you have to understand that in Chain of Commands, Sultansworns cannot equally be on the same ranks to equally match with Syndicates. Even in lore wise, the Sultansworns are treated below Syndicates. Sure the chart is to show an example of martial force system in Immortal Flames and Ul'dah, but They did leave the giant bubble above because it is literally the high rank based organization. Syndicates are something similar to Prime Minister position.
