No need to do a game-wide lockdown.

1) Warrior of Light is exiled from Ul'dah
2) Find some sympathizers that give a small quest to give you access to Ul'dah while making you unrecognizable to the crystal braves and the brass blades
3) get access to Ul'dah in a way that makes sense

The quest could involve you obtaining a disguise or glamour to help you get into the city when needed. Would have made more sense than "everyone in the city knows you're innocent" thing.
