Services
As a confessional priest, Bartholomew offers the Writ of Absolution service. Players with outstanding fines or bounties from criminal activity can visit Bartholomew to clear their record.

Key features of the confessional service:
Cross-region payments: players do not need to travel to the region where they committed a crime. Any confessional can clear any region's debt.
The cost depends on the total bounty or fines accumulated.
Once paid, the criminal record is cleared immediately.

Tips
Visit Bartholomew's confessional to clear bounties before they escalate. Guards will arrest and jail players with high bounties, which wastes time.
If you prefer not to pay, getting arrested and serving your sentence clears bounties for free.
