Princess Ayrana, bane of bandits. ^^
While funny, not sure one Thane could easily have another imprisoned, but then I guess a lot of Whiteruns guards would be all too happy to knock Nazeem down a peg or two. If the can get away with it ... and acting on orders of a Thane of Whiterun and Princess of Alinor seems like a perfect excuse.^^

It doesn’t seem to me that Nazeem is a thane.
He’s just a big sucker who wants to own a farm.
Unless I missed something.
But I don’t think he’s doing Whiterun a favor.

You might be right there, I remember Lydia stating he is a Thane, but that line appears to come from Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia, so is certainly not cannon and is likely wrong.

Yes it comes probably from the mod.
Because it is said nowhere on the internet that he is thane.
It’s just a guy who says he advises the jarl (which he doesn’t really do) and so the author of the mod thought that he should be at the base and introduced this dialogue to Lydia.
Nazeem is just a pretentious, arrogant guy who deserves to be in jail to calm him down.

To be a Thane, you must have done some service to the city.
-Help the people
-Eliminate threats (bandits, geants, etc)
-Have fulfilled a special request of the jarl or a special quest.
I don’t think Nazeem would have done all this.
He prefers to annoy poor Carlotta or Ysolda or the player.
