The only difference the sultansworn being in the 2.55 story would have had is that it would be them arresting us, not the brass blades. Our arrest was perfectly legal and even if they thought us innocent they would still be compelled by the law to arrest us. After that we would probably be handed over to the brass blades anyway as the Sultansworn's role isn't law enforcement and frankly they would probably be dealing with the dishonour of failing in their duty.

This of course ignores the corruption in the sultansworn as well. Simply put, their presence would likely have made things worse for us, not better.
