I searched for a while to see if anyone had suggested something like this before and maybe I didn't search well enough, so forgive me if it's been suggested in the past. I am still very new to HNH!
In light of the release of Kingdoms in Haven making the game a bit more diplomatic...
I think a criminal pardon system would be really cool within personal claims and village claims. Obviously jurisdiction over a realm claim is too powerful.
ex. Soandso commits a crime inside a village claim. Someone with LS privileges could find that scent and right click to either 1. Track or 2. Pardon
Pardoning the crime removes the scent and the outlaw debuff from the criminal.
This idea came to me while on my character I left a theft scent on a friendly village while picking up apples. Now I can't log off for a few days just because I picked up a couple of q10 apples from my neighbors village.
