That's weird. I abandoned my old village. Authority dropped below 50k and someone became LS there, even though I still had alts there and one of them was a chieftain. How do I know? They can now use cornerpost in that village, meaning they took a sign from it, so they must have LS there.
Lets see if I remember this correctly: If there is no LS, the the chieftain can take the role. If there is no LS or chieftain, then any villager can take the role (meeting requirements, of course.) If the village is under 50k Auth, then anyone can take LS, whether they are a member of the village or not.
The big issue with it being under 50k is outsiders taking it and the idol being destroyed. I was trying to remember the rules for a crossroad not on a village claim. I seem to recall it still functions but can no longer be connected anywhere else, but I could be wrong.
