It would be neat if villainous PCs had the alternative of, instead of hunting bounties, recruiting the baddies to a gang in Lower for both XP and coins.

Knight Of Pentacles

Or maybe an assassination board.  Find and kill a NPC; turn his head into a "hit broker" who gives you the reward as a proxy from whoever made the hit.  I don't imagine it'd be terribly difficult to modify the current system into one that more fits into the flavor of Lower/Magnatz/whatever.

Also lower people have caravan routes they can do.

Stranger

It would be interesting to see Lowersmen competing with Sanctuary to reach randomly placed individuals before the other. A spot of violence would be inevitable.

In fact, limited resource quests that can be turned in to one of multiple patrons are amazing.

Anything that can come in the conflict-promoting style of druid rituals would be dazzlingly lovely.

Finding these wanted criminals is not a bad idea. A choice in dialogue to either convince them to come to the authorities peacefully, or to convince them that they are just waiting to die unless they team up with a gang. The latter can initiate an escort where you have to physically escort the npc to the recruiting organization. That would allow bounty hunters the chance to recognize that offending PCs are working against the law and aiding these criminals allowing opportunity for response and further developing the story for both parties.
