All hail who? (spoilers from story quest)

[lololink]

the gladiator story quest still involves a plot to poison the Sultana, I was all ;^;

The PLDs don't know what happened to Nanamo yet.

[Alberel]

Lolorito and the Monetarists only have any power as long as there is someone on the throne so it would make sense that they not disclose her death to the public. If word got out then there would be a succession crisis due to Nanamo having no heir and the Syndicate would likely have a civil war on their hands. Assuming Lolorito's goal is simply power he's likely trying to solidify his position as acting ruler so that when the civil war inevitably begins he will already have the advantage.

It's not really 'excuses' for game mechanics or such. From a story and lore perspective it actually makes sense that the whole thing is being covered up.

Thanks for some answers on this matter, I haven't ran across whole Uldah to talk with NPCs but it seems that they updated a lot of NPC texts, which is good.

Apparently the Sultana is still alive if you do the level 50 CUL quest after the storyline. That's a bigger eyebrow raiser.

Ul'Dah can create zombies. It was revealed in the Hildibrand quest line.

Publicly announcing you as a criminal in the state they're currently in:
top ranking syndicate member dead, no heir apparent, and the syndicate does NOT have any sort of hold on any of the grand companies, of which your character is most likely an officer in. Announcing the entirety of what happened would shake-up the city before the factions are ready to make their move. They want to take control, not instill chaos.
The Syndicate isn't very popular, and making the wrong move at this time could motivate Garlemald, Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa to take an interest.
There are a LOT of factions in play, and no one wants to make the first move at this time without having a means to deal with everyone. Ishgard on its own is enough to give pause to the factions trying to take Ul'Dah, as they have no reason to adhere to trade agreements made by the other two nations.
It behooves them to hold back information until they're ready to make their move.

Arresting you on trumped up charges would ignite a civil war since you're so popular, and since the syndicate can't really do business when the city is tearing itself apart they have to protect their bottom line by making sure you're not put behind bars.

You have to remember there are still some members of the Brass Blade and Crystal Brave that believe the WoL and Scions are innocent as well but they must act the part to prevent from being arrest like the other Brass Blade and Crystal Braves that voiced that the WoL and Scions innocent.

Currently now the Brass Blade and Crystal Braves are hunting for people that would believe the WoL and Scions are innocent.

I've caught a few of these NPCs around. The impression I get from them is more like, "Yeah, the people paying me have it out for you but number one, I've seen you around and you seem kinda okay and number two, you are a godslaying murder-machine and I'm a redshirt so can we just pretend we didn't see each other? Thanks."

The PLDs don't know what happened to Nanamo yet.

This, though, really pisses me off. I mean, they're supposed to be her personal guards.

We know Estinien from the Dragoon quests is involved in Heavensward. We had freaking better see the Paladin NPCs show up and start asking questions and busting heads. This is one they can't live down.

Personal wish: They spearhead the move to break Raubahn out of jail and join him in whatever mad stunt he pulls next.
