Your not wrong but exactly how capable are Sworn in this game to investigate things like the Secret Service do? Â Its a decent analogy but from what I can tell Sworn are a mere fraction as capable and as...intelligence gathering (lack of words here) as the actual Secret Service.
I /could/ somewhat envision garleans breaking into Sworn ranks since I see or hear of no way that you could reliably sniff that out. Â We are in a medieval constrained fantasy world where background investigations seemingly are useless to non-existant.
And Garleans likely do. I think the bigger issue is would the difficult trials of being trained break the person to an extent they'd slip up and reveal something undeniably....Garlean? We currently know that non-ethnic Garleans should have no issues "fitting in" with Eorzeans. They're all just hyur, after all. But an ethnically Grlean person, third eye and all? Probably not. There's a reason Franz in all his cheating and writeoffs I've made OOCly has a glamor that hides it. ...and it's not even perfectly reliable. If someone went and poked him where it's supposed to be, you can sure as bet he's screech in pain and react accordingly. Just the same that if there were to be some mystic glamor-dispelling thing dumped on him, it'd likely dispell and unless noticed, he'd be broadcasting it to the world. ...not exactly a state I'd want him in, and it'd need to be set up with approval beforehand, but certainly possible.
