Now I am not going to go and pick on this particular scab, because I am sure the opening to HW content has been washed by the player base time and again and like as not needs to be forgotten, but I will still penalize the Sultansworn all the same. The Sultansworn failed their purpose, completely and utterly. Any other order of bodyguards would have been rightfully disbanded and it's leading officers imprisoned and charged with criminal neglect of their sworn duties. Heads should have started rolling the moment the Sultana opened her eyes.

And yah, most one-on-one with npc in the Coliseum would have been right boring considering we Paladins get Clemency (it still was) so the flashy attacks was needed to enliven things.
I honestly have no idea what your talking about. Telehji would have never pulled off a coup by force which is why he framed the WoL. He needed public support and he would have lost that the moment he forcibly threatened the Sultana, even if he succeeded. However there is no reason a leader of Ul'dah couldn't visit the Sultana's quarters with Ul'dah's equivalent of the police if he felt there was a matter of security. The whole point about the events of 3.55 was that they managed hide any criminal activity so that everything they did appeared legit. The Sultansworn themselves would have arrested us if Telehji hadn't. If there was a failing it was not picking up on the Assassination attempt, not what happened during or after. The law was on the side of the Syndicate members, unless we could prove foul play, which at the time we couldn't. Hell, we literally had the vial of poison in our pockets.
