Legacy:Village

Villages are a convenient way of managing communities. They work as a shared claim which prevents non-members from interacting with village-owned objects and the special village officials get certain benefits.

Each village has a village claim, or idol, which sends out influence in a large area, this area can be expanded with statues and banners to make the village larger. The village claim is similar to land claims, except that it only protects objects, containers, buildings, mines etc.; however, anyone may wander on village ground as they wish. Since unauthorized use (i.e. by non-members) of village property requires criminal action, looting a village will generate scents. [Verify] Villages maintain a pool of authority, which is generated as members earn LPs. The idol, banners, and statues drain authority and lose effectiveness if the authority pool is fully drained.

Creating villages

Villages are started by making a village idol, then having at least 5 people with Yeomanry to right click on it (lawspeaker first), and then clicking "make village". After some dramatic fire animations, a village is created.
