The "Knight-Errant" archetype was my interpretation of the Free Paladin as well. Yvelont fits into that archetype as well, though without the "Paladin" title and associated abilities. The lore behind the Sultansworn is interesting, but like so much FFXIV lore, really needs more fleshing out. A lot of things are left open to player interpretation. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, because it keeps the door ajar for discussions like these, but it becomes hard to reach a consensus on just how a Paladin is "supposed" to act.
