Bartholomew serves at the Church of East Demeniss, where he oversees the confessional. The church is one of several religious institutions in the capital of Demeniss.
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. The confessional allows players to view and pay off all active fines and bounties tied to their character across all regions of Pywel.
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.
Bartholomew is a soft-hearted and shy priest who finds confessional duty daunting. Despite his reserved nature, he pays close attention to those around him and does his best to help believers weighed down by hardship or worry. His gentle disposition contrasts with the gravity of the sins confessed to him. This reflects the game's nuanced approach to its religious characters.
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.
Confessionals are marked on the map with an icon resembling a sun or compass symbol.
